LEGENDARY PINK DOTS SUMMER 2010 NEWSLETTER

Many apologies for the long silence from LPDs hq as sad personal events overshadowed everything else in early 2010 .

Now we’re making plans for the future.New releases are in the pipeline and be prepared for a torrent of activity from The Dots in the coming months.

The 30th Anniversary Tour continues in October in North America and, following cancellations earlier in 2010 will be resume in Europenext Spring.

There will be a string of shows in Poland in April (probably).Originally these dates were slated for this September but it was felt that it was best to wait for a few more months as we were so recently in that country.Shows in St.Petersburg , Moscow and St.Petersburg are also on the cards for Spring 2011.

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

The Blood of Heroes (Ohm Resistance) has been reviewed at BabySue.com

“Harsh rhythm-driven tracks collide with metallic sounds and vocals drenched in effects. Slightly spooky at times…and ultimately somewhat surreal…”

The Blood Of Heroes reviewed at Brainwashed

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

The Blood of Heroes (Ohm Resistance) has been reviewed at Brainwashed.com

“While I do hear parallels in the sound to the likes of early Techno Animal, Ice, and Scorn, never does it sound like anything but a product of the modern era.”
- Creaig Dunton, Brainwashed.com

Free track from The Sunset Curse at Denver Post

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

The Sunset Curse have been written up in the Denver Post Reverb by Eryc Eyl. Click to read the original review and grab a free song from the debut record “Artificial Heart.”

“Though the album’s blend of electronica, indie rock, hard rock and the kitchen sink makes for a puzzling first impression, subsequent listens reveal a coherent artistic statement that is the musical equivalent of a nighttime stroll through nearly any 21st century city’s streets. You’ll get what we mean when you steal the album’s title track.”
- Eryc Eyl, Denver Post
