THE LEGENDARY PINK DOTS NEWSLETTER SPRING 2012

Spring is here and in this part of Europe ,the cruel Winter was brutal but mercifully brief. For The Pink Dots ,it has been about writing and recording new material and already the vault is bursting . We shall unveil the parts that send the shivers down down our spines.

Having said that, now is the time for recording and the first notes have been plucked or prodded in anger or joy for the next Pink Dots' album which we guess will be there in late 2012.

2012 - TOUR NEWS

Not a year when The Dots will be out on the road much but a small European adventure is slated for late Spring while plans to visit Moscow once more are bubbling for the Falll/

For a fully fledged LPDs tour of the USA and Canada ,the target remains Spring 2013.

Shows confirmed so far:
May 31 - Darmstadt- Villa Oetinger
June 1 - Geneva- L'Usine

We are looking for shows in the days following these 2 dates so any help would be appreciated. Stay tuned for possibilities in Czech Republic.
