The Legendary Pink Dots
The jazz concert was fun, we had dinner in Chinatown which was cheap and way too much food.
AS per usual, was able to talk to the singer last night, Yoko Noge, told her as always she sounded great and asked about her missing trumpet playe, John Watson, turns out he is in the hospital fighting cancer, she asked me to pray for him. When her third and final set of the night was over she stopped by our table to say goodbye!
Tonight Bill and I are going home to bbq and relax, and of course see the girls, and then tonight we are off to Chicago again, this time to go see The Legendary Pink Dots:
The Legendary Pink Dots are a British rock band formed in London at the end of the late 1970s and who, although distinctly non-mainstream, have been musically influential over the years. The band has, as its focal point, vocalist Edward Ka-Spel, who is, along with Phil Knight, one of the original remaining members of the band.
In 1984 the band transplanted itself to Amsterdam which led to a shift in the original lineup, the original bassist Roland Callaway leaving at this time.
Their music has evolved organically over time and it consists of such myriad aspects that easy categorization into a single genre heading is difficult. Their sound has often been described as an amalgamation of psychedelic rock, industrial, experimental, synth-pop and avant-garde. Some have compared certain of their works with the music of bands like Pink Floyd and Can. Since their formation they have released over 50 records and continuously tour the world.
Members of the band have also collaborated with Skinny Puppy's cEvin Key, forming a side-project named The Tear Garden.
