The Dots have always been grateful to their loyal fans who have been an incredible network of talent, information and resources… Here are some ways that you can involve yourself in helping the band, this website and connecting with other fans.
Word of mouth
A really great way to support the band is by telling other people about them! : )
- Introduce the Dots’ music to the people you know.
- Share the news when a new album is released.
- Help to spread the word about concerts, create or put up promotional materials in your area.
- Bring your friends to their shows.
Online
- Did you get some good shots of the band at their recent show? You can share your photos on their Flickr page called The Pink Book.
- Video? Please share on Youtube.
- Keeping vandalism off of the Wikipedia bio or enhancing that article is very helpful. They also have a discography page there.
Website
If you’re interested in helping out with this website, I need some volunteers to help in these areas:
Videos section
Is there anyone interested in posting high quality videos from TLPD’s recent North American tour to our videos page?
Go to https://legendarypinkdots.org/videos/
If you would like to help, please email me at lpd.website@yahoo.com. Thanks.
Past tour dates
The past shows page is a record of the cities and venues they’ve previously played in. But it is missing many of the earlier tour dates from the 80s and 90s. If you have a tour poster from the early days with dates and cities they played, or you have a ticket stub from a show not listed on our page, I would be glad to add those dates and fill out the missing parts of the Dots’ history. Please send a readable photo or scan of the poster or ticket stub to lpd.website@yahoo.com. Thank you.
Missing photos
The Who’s Who page is missing images of several former members. They would be: Vincent Hoedt, Bob Pistoor, Hans Meyer, Julia Niblock Waller, Roland Calloway, Pat Bermingham, Patrick White, Keith Thompson, Sally Graves, Michael Marshall and Tony Johnson.
The ideal photo would be of the musician from the time that they were active in the Dots, preferably performing- but not necessarily so. The photo should be clear and be of the head and torso. The size should be at least 3″ wide x 4″ high (7.5cm w x 10.2cm h ) at 72dpi minimum. If you have a photo like this of any of these people, please send it to lpd.website@yahoo.com, along with a photo credit if there is one.
Lyrics
The lyrics sections are located on the posts that contain the detailed information of releases. You can get to these posts by going to the Combined Discography page and then clicking “info” on any of the releases and scrolling down. Many of these album info posts have lyrics towards the bottom after “notes”, and many don’t.
Transcribe the lyrics for albums/releases that do not have the lyrics posted yet.
