THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS The music made by The Legendary Pink Dots has incorporated elements of neo psychedelia, ambient music, electronic music, tape music, psychedelic folk, synthpop, post-punk, progressive jazz, noise music, pop music, goth rock and alternative rock….occasionally all at the same time. Often likened to an industrial version of Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd, it was actually early David Bowie, The Residents, Can, Faust and musique concrete composers such as Pierre Henry who were far bigger influences on the Dots when they started out. Indeed, the lengthy fever dream-like sonic expeditions that litter the band’s catalogue have often received the greatest praise. “For those unfamiliar with The Legendary Pink Dots (where have you been all these years?), think a mixture of 'In Search Of Space' era Hawkwind and 'Piper At The Gates Of Dawn' era Pink Floyd, only with the ability to utilise modern technology” THE MIDLANDS ROCKS The group currently comprises Edward Ka-Spel (vocals, keyboards, songwriter), Erik Drost (guitars), Randall Frazier (keyboards, electronics) and Joep Hendrikx (live electronics). Operating outside the mainstream, their discography consists of 40+ studio albums and they have amassed a devoted following worldwide, touring frequently to promote their releases. https://legendarypinkdots.org/ www.facebook.com/legendarypinkdots
