Announcement about Phil, and Randall

A chapter closes and another begins as Phil – The Silverman – has decided to retire from live performances with the Pink Dots, while our long term friend, Randall, is joining the band. In reality it’s a story we’ve known for many months inside The Dots as we plan for our first long tour since early 2022, but it was the sheer physical demand of such an adventure that led to Phil making his decision.

Do wish Phil well in his choice of a path – it’s been a glorious four decades.

Randall is no stranger to life on the road with The Pink Dots having opened with his own project, Orbit Service, on many tours ( and he will be delivering a set on the forthcoming outing). Still, we’re excited to welcome an old friend into the band, composing new music with him as well as exploring some new corners of the planet together.
