The Legendary Pink Dots interviewed by Che, Feb. 1989

The Legendary Pink Dots were an anglo-dutch experimental rock band formed in London in August 1980.
I think some when in 1984 the band moved from England to the Netherlands/Amsterdam, playing with rotating musicians and having, as core members, singer/songwriter/keyboardist Edward Ka-Spell (I know there are different spelling versions)and keyboardist Phil Knight.
I met and talked to the band just before their concert at the at least as legendary venue Grosse Freiheit 36 in Hamburg. The interview was first aired by Tele5 in my show off beat end of February 1989.
I do not own any right to the performed material. The band performed this for my tape adding to the interview.

best band around.a true treasure never to be picked apart by commercial interests.who cares if they do not sell millions.people only buy what they are conditioned to.true artists and musicians are never truly appreciated by the masses and i say it is a good thing.

That was at the Grosse Freiheit 36 and my first lpd concert here in hamburg .Now 30 years ago- still loving the band and buying their records

hahah I love on the LPD Bandcamp when Ka-spel talks about having the flu during this album or that album. It almost seems like he caught the flu quite often... or probably he made multiple albums during one sickness!

[@Engelbird]

his posts on Facebook crack me up. he'll talk about a wonderful current live show, and then there's the inevitable "even so..." and he'll regale some horrific experience in the past or sone awful illness. such a delicate creature, lol
