The Legendary Pink Dots

Anglo-Dutch rock band formed in London, UK, in August 1980. In 1984 the band moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands. The band is fronted by Edward Ka-Spel, who doubles as singer and chief lyric writer. Erik Drost, Randall Frazier, Joep Hendrikx, and Raymond Steeg make up the current lineup of the band. Forming member Phil Knight left the band in 2022. The Legendary Pink Dots exist in the fields of experimental and psychedelic music. The sound is often a conglomerate of electronics, saxophones, guitars, drums, and Ka-Spel's distinctive voice and lyrical invention. Side projects of the band include [a24595] (with [a=cEvin Key] from [a=Skinny Puppy]), and [a84012] (with Christoph and Andreas Heemann), plus solo ventures.
