Dotdash - The Facts















Dotdash , Tribal Thunder Master of none
- who is it then ??
Dotdash grimaced his way through the 80s and 90s as a musician based mostly in Auckland , New Zealand.These were the heady days of Flying Nun Records , Post-Punk and bad hair.Known mostly as a drummer for King Loser & S.P.U.D ,from the sticky carpets of the Gluepot to the plush surrounds of Sammys to supporting bands such as Sonic Youth ,Tribal pounded out the rhythm 'til he dropped.Tribal relocated to Melbourne Australia in the late 90s.Discovery of the anarchic nature of the internet and emerging digital technologies strengthened his resolve to abandon the tedious
trappings of the 'music business' and forge a new more D.I.Y approach to making and releasing music.Tribal has been recording and releasing his own music as free downloads under the name Dotdash for a few years now.It's been a decade since he's performed live but the time seems right to take it to the people again as he steps out with a new band - Clones.

Apathy was apparently the enemy of Punk - he proved them wrong...
