THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS MAY/JUNE 2011 NEWSLETTER
Thanks to all who turned up for our tour! We enjoyed it - especially the last two shows in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Strange to think that we've now visited Russia five times since the year 2000 when it would have been virtually impossible in the not so distant past.
Anyhow , time to look ahead and some special events are on the horizon.
First is the Nijmegen Underground festival at The Lux theatre on May 18th.
For this show The Dots will perform the psychedelic audio plays "Katrina" (as can be found on the '30 Year Itch' release) and a new work, "The Creature that tasted sound". Also on the bill are long term Dots' friends and favourites, The Use of Ashes and Beequeen. It really is worth travelling for.
On June 10th, The Dots play at Queen Elizabeth Hall on The South Bank in London, on the first day of The Meltdown Festival, curated by Ray Davies. On a spectacular night, the mighty Crazy World of Arthur Brown also appear.
To conclude a momentous month, LPDs go to Leipzig for the Wave Gothik Treffen Festival on Monday, June 13rd.

Edward Ka-Spel will be presenting a DJ set at the MAXIM Club, Tel Aviv, Israel on May 19th.
