Welcome to Red Dot Garage

Tom Dainsberg - Bass, vocals

The man who fires up the bass night after night in Red Dot is Tom Dainsberg. Born, raised, and currently residing in the boomtown that is Maple Plain, Minnesota. Tom hasn't put on quite as many "road miles" as the other boys, but when he straps on the bass and fires up his amp, make no mistake, he's here to rock! Tom grew up on Bowie, Bauhaus, Beastie Boys, and anything else the 80's had to offer. When he's not laying claim to the "King of Low-end" crown, he can be found in his garage fixing all the equipment the other 3 guys broke at the last rock show.

Travis Williams - Guitar, Vocals

Travis comes to us from the dirty rural streets of Delano, MN where the ditches of his youth were littered with empty cans of Busch Lite and Old Milwaukee. Where he'd drive the back roads and fill the air with the sounds of Dokken, Skid Row, Kix, Tesla, and Whitesnake. He spent the better part of his life in Leash, the greatest cover band this side of the Beer Police. They'd gig in any bar that would have them, playing everything from Black Sabbath to Garth Brooks. Now his days are spent in Red Dot Garage, his daughters favorite band, playing lots of originals and anything from Van Morrison to Van Halen. Travis has moved from the rural farms of Delano to a house smack dab in the middle of town. He now litters his basement with empty bottles of Michelob Golden Draft while the sounds of Tom Petty, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Ray Vaughan fill the air..".the more things change, the more they stay the same" (Tom Kiefer) T



				Tommy Lutz - Drums, vocals Tommy hails from the thriving metropolis of Maple Plain, where men are men, and well, you know the rest. Tommy likes candlelight dinners, walks in the rain, and pedicures. No wait, that's Tommy's wife. Tommy like to ROCK! Packing a ton of enthusiasm and fills that would make Keith Moon roll over in his grave, he makes a welcome addition to The Dot. He cites Budweiser, Harley Davidson, and Marlboro's as his key influences. Joining the band in early 2007, Tommy has fulfilled the wishes of his parole officer to get a more stable and satisfying life style. Off the streets and into the "garage" is just what the doctor ordered, allowing Tommy to cut back drastically on his Prozac medication. He now makes Dainsberg a grizzled veteran as far as time served!

				Mike Fretheim - Guitar, vocals Mike was born years ago in Long Lake, Minnesota. Originally influenced by Elton John, KISS, and AC/DC. He spent a brief stint thinking he'd be a guitar hero in the Edward Van Halen vein, but quickly realized that it required more skill and practice than he was willing to give. He formed a band with some local hooligans and played every garage, basement, or barn in the area. They quickly tired of guys in black concert t-shirts requesting Judas Priest songs and began figuring out that girls liked to dance. The band embraced 80's icons like Duran Duran and the Violent Femmes. The hair was big and the jeans torn. The next step were local favorites the Suburbs and the Replacements (thanks P.W.) Much fun was had by all. Anyway, here we are now and Mike is currently influenced by SRV, RHCP, DBT, and the inimitable "Keef" Richards. He also loves the sound of a souped-up Tele through a Boogie pushed to the edge....
