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 remaining original members of the
band. 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.
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. Since their formation they have
released over 40 records and continuously tour
the world.
