CANCELLATIONS AND SPECIAL TOUR MERCHANDISE PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 10 October 2005 01:00

First, the bad news. Due to circumstances beyond the band's control, the following shows planned for the 25th Anniversary Tour have been cancelled:

16 Oct: Avignon (F) - Le Theatre du Bourg Neuf
07 Nov: Poznan (PL) - TBA
08 Nov: Krakow (PL) - Re
17 Nov: Vienna (A) - Monastery
18 Nov: Budapest (H) - Marco Polo
09 Dec: Berne (CH) - ElkClub

More changes to the schedule will be posted shortly.

Now the good news! There will be two special live CDRs available on the European leg of the tour. The first is a live recording of the Edward Ka-Spel/Silverman show in Basel on September 30, 2005. This was a remarkable show that featured a lot of new material. The CDR includes four tracks from the Silverman (accompanied onstage by Edward), who showcases some of his new tracks along with material from Requiem Settings. Edward also performed new songs.

Toby Dammit opened the show with what Raymond Steeg calls "an incredible set of weird electronics." He also says "All you people check this out. It's great stuff!"


The second CDR is a get-it-while-it's-there limited release of a show in Montepellier, France in 1994. Raymond calls it "one of the great shows from that time featuring Ryan and Martijn. It's a soundboard recording mixed with two ambience microphones and features great artwork done by Erik Drost with his ancient old computers."

25th ANNIVERSARY TOUR/MAIL ORDER MERCHANDISE PDF Print E-mail
Sunday, 11 September 2005 01:00

The intention is for all of this material to be available on the forthcoming tour and via mail order through Terminal Kaleidoscope. No prices for the new merchandise are availble just yet as skyrocketing Dutch postal costs mean that the Pink Dots are being forced to adopt a new pricing policy. When the new prices are implemented, the actual cost of LPs and CDs will be less than they are now, but postage will be added. Watch this space for pricing information.

Please note that it will not be possible for the band to send packages from October 10 through November 20 while the tour is in progress.

T-shirts: There will be two T-shirt designs for the European leg of the 25th Anniversary tour. Each design will be limited to 100.
