Prepare to Rock Out at RHS Jan. 27

The pop rock group Dot Dot Dot is coming to Romeoville Friday, Jan. 27.

Sponsored by the Band Boosters, the “Rockin’ Out at Romeoville High” dancing and live music extravaganza is designed for young adults 20 and under but families are welcome as well.

Doors open at 6 p.m. while the show starts at 6:30 p.m. Tickets, at $10 each the day of the event. Ticket pre-sales will be available during lunch hours in the cafeteria or through RHS Band Boosters and band members. The first 250 pre-sale ticket holders will receive a free autographed Dot Dot Dot CD.

All proceeds will help fund RHS band programs and activities.

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.”
