Back in the year 9595...or was it 2004.... Robert and Perlo started the Dots....Freddie joined Dec 19, 2004 (which is also Perlo's birthday)...and the rest is history. Peter joined as rhythm bass, Stephen as lead guitar. In Nov 2007, Freddie departed, and we welcomed Blake "Blakesie" Griffith on guitar.
We've toured all over...and by all over we mean Anaheim, Cypress, Fullerton, Seal Beach...all over! We play fun punk rock. Not GRRRR punk, or sissy rock...but DOT ROCK!
This add only remains if you sign me on my song about me putting beans in my ears while hanging out with you, Alex and Ryan Fetter. Peace. P.S. in the car.
I love the Black Dots so much, that every time I hear them I wish I never made the remark, "Oh God Michael Bolton is so horrible that I wish my ears were blown off," because my mother listens to Michael Bolton a lot and I want to blow my ears off a lot, therefore if I actually did it then I wouldn't have ears to listen to the amazingly awesome noise of the Black Dots.
