“What makes you smile?” is a question often posed by Dot Dot Dot, serving as both a chorus on their latest EP as well as a method of operation regarding the elements of songwriting, production, and performance. These pop-rock songs range from up-tempo to introspective, yet all are unified by a dramatic sense of melody and movement. Stories about damaged relationships are set to uplifting musical backdrops. The result is a growing catalog of memorable moments across four EP releases: Dot Dot Dot (2007), I (2009), II (2010), and III (2011).
As performers, Dot Dot Dot’s members fuse the intensity of a wild punk act with the refinement of seasoned pop professionals. Since coming together in 2007, the band has performed over 600 shows and sold thousands of CDs – all without record label support. The co-ed quintet may be familiar to some as finalists on FOX TV’s “American Idol” spin-off show, “The Next Great American Band” during its 2007 season. High-profile shows have followed, including appearances at the Sundance Film Festival, a VH1 Save the Music benefit, events for WGN, T-Mobile, Victoria’s Secret, Wrigley, and an invite to perform at President Obama’s 2010 Chicago rally.
Radio single “Stay,” broke the Top 100 Mediabase Adult Contemporary chart in 2010, and EPs I and II charted on the CMJ Top 200 and have been spun on over 180 college radio stations nationwide. Dot Dot Dot has penned several songs for national ad campaigns for companies such as Party City/Factory Card Outlet, the Florida Gators, the Kentucky Derby, Jeep, and “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.” A number of the band’s songs have also been placed in the latest season of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” Releases are available from iTunes, Amazon, and www.dotdotdotonline.com.
