Dot Hacker

Dot Hacker is an experimental rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2008. The band consists of frontman Josh Klinghoffer, who is perhaps best known for his tenure as the guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, alongside Clint Walsh on guitar, Jonathan Hischke on bass, and Eric Gardner on drums. The group's name is a nod to a close family friend of Klinghoffer, who profoundly influenced him in his formative years. Their music is characterized by a blend of alternative rock, experimental soundscapes, and electronic elements, creating a distinctive and immersive auditory experience.

The band released their debut self-titled EP "Dot Hacker" in 2012, and it was quickly followed by their first full-length album "Inhibition" that same year, showcasing the band's ability to craft intricate and atmospheric compositions. They embarked on an ambitious double release with "How's Your Process? (Work)" and "How's Your Process? (Play)" in 2014, further delving into layered textures and dynamic musicianship. Their third album, "Nº3," was released in 2017 and continued to evolve their sound with an expansive and introspective approach. Despite a relatively low profile, Dot Hacker has cultivated a dedicated fan base, drawn to their nuanced and evocative music, as well as Klinghoffer's prolific musicianship. The release of "Divination" and "Neon Arrow" singles suggests that the band continues to experiment and push their creative boundaries, ensuring that their art remains as dynamic and intriguing as ever.
