The Legendary pink Dots is an Anglo Dutch experimental Rock band formed in London in August 1980. Operating outside the musical mainstream, their sound has been described as an amalgamation of Psychedelic Rock, Industrial, Synth Pop and Avant Garde stylings. Touring constantly, although rarely in the UK, they have maintained a fiercely loyal cult following worldwide, sustaining the group through a lengthy career that has seen them release more than fourty albums to date.
The core members of the group, Edward Ka-Spel (Vocals, Keyboards, Songwriter) and Phil Knight Aka The Silverman (Keyboards, Electronics) were joined by guitarist Erik Drost and sound engineer Raymond Steeg in 2013 for the stunning The Gethsemane Option, the band’s first album for Metropolis Records. A seven song, hour long exploration in textural ambience and Rock experimentation, the album features Ka-Spel’s distinctive voice and lyrical imagery blended with hypnotic guitar, spellbinding bass pulses and synth washes.
A career highpoint, The Gethsamane Option is a musical laudanum induced fever dream and an utterly enthralling, captivating release. Members of The Legendary pink Dots have also collaborated with the likes of Nurse with Wound, The Dresden Dolls, Jarboe, HNAS, Jim O'Rourke and cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy.
