The Legendary Pink Dots are a Netherlands-based rock band formed in August 1980 in the UK who, although distinctly underground, have been musically influential over the years. The band name was derived from pink dots of nail varnish on the piano in their squat, where founding members Edward and April lived. The band has as its focal point vocalist Edward Ka-Spel, who is, along with Phil “The Silverman” Knight, one of the original remaining members of the band. In the mid eighties the band resettled in the Netherlands, where they still reside today. Apart from Edward and Phil, the line-up has gone through many changes. Members such as Ryan Moore, a canadian bass player, who joined in 1991 after the recordings of the Last Man to Fly with the Tear Garden (he joined as a session musician), went on to form their own labels and musical projects. See Twilight Circus and M Records. Their music is nothing if not original and it is difficult to categorise, but comparisons may be drawn with bands like Pink Floyd and Can.
Their sound has been described as an amalgamation of psychedelic rock, industrial, synth-pop and avant-garde. They have released over 40 records and continuously tour the world.
Members of the band have also collaborated with Nurse With Wound,The Dresden Dolls,Jarboe,HNAS,Jim O’Rourke,Skinny Puppy’s cEvin Key, forming The Tear Garden. Key also appears on the 1994 album 9 Lives to Wonder.

Whilst listening to last.fm I heard Zero Zero from Shadow Weaver. Blown away by it so I bought the album. Then realise that they have produced over 20 albums, plus much more. What should my next buy be?

So, the "Ravens" flew to the Netherlands to nest. When we first encountered TLPDs they were squatting in Oakfield Road,Ilford and there was a lot of commotion about a cucumber. Phil Knight - the milkman who always delivered - and April (Illyfe for music) were in residence. Mandy and Richard are the "we" concerned. You may (or may wish not to) remember us! Glad to see you doing well and to hear you on radio 2. Will catch up if we can in Dalston on the 15th.

I'm glad that this band tends to attract a different set than the c93/DI6tards.

@the_sagga: as far as I remember, the band (or at least Ka-Spel) depend on the financial support of their listeners. In an interview, Edward mentioned that he earns a living only by making music - he has to cut corners sometimes, but he does manage it. I think that's a very good reason for us to make the LPDs more known to the public. It doesn't mean they have to turn their backs on their fans, all they need is a little highlighting. :-)
