 No doubt about it, Europe felt like a wounded continent as we sped along the highways, watched karaoke on the ferries and played for our suppers on the last tour. However, there was plenty of elation too as the band just felt so damn good onstage night after night. Still it all feels like a voyage of discovery, and after 30 years that's golden. Keep your eyes peeled as we may well be in your neighborhood soon.
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 - FEAR NOT MY LOVLIES
LPDs plan a small tour which we hope will take in Italy, Switzerland and South Germany in April. Russia is also on the calendar for the Fall. For a fully fledged LPDs tour of the USA and Canada ,the target is Spring 2013. However, EK and The Silverman may well make an appearance as part of a package with the wonderful Orbit Service and Dead Voices on Air in Denver and perhaps a couple of other cities in May 2012.
Keep your eye on the Tour page for all updates.

outpourings. There are not so many books left now. Those interested
should write to Kirsten who lovingly created the book and the website.
