Dosh grew up in the Twin Cities. At a young age he also took piano lessons and then discovered FM radio in the early ’80s. Dosh began drumming at age 15. By the time he left home for Simon’s Rock College at age 16, he had decided music would likely be his profession, however, he subsequently got a degree in creative writing.
Throughout the ’90s, he played with a number of bands on the East Coast. When he moved back to Minneapolis in 1997, he started his own band, as he had begun to compose his own music. He also worked at his alma mater, Lake Country School, teaching percussion, driving the school bus, and assisting classroom teachers. Immersing himself in the local scene, Dosh played with many bands over the next five years: Nasty Goat, Best Red, Animals Expert At Hankering, Iffy, Vicious Vicious, “T,” and Lateduster; all this time, recording tape after tape of original music on a 4-track machine.
Dosh’s work with Andrew Broder in Lateduster and Fog gave him an experience that helped him begin to perform solo. In 2002, he released his debut recording, Dosh CD, which he had recorded himself, mostly in his basement. The CD developed a following in the local Twin Cities scene.
After playing many shows, City Pages voted him second on their annual “picked to click” list.

Got The Lost Take and really like it - it reminds me a lot of Dntel... definitely has more in common with Dntel than it does with any other anticon stuff I've heard.

Just got into Dosh through Andrew Bird, and I have to say, I didn't think there was anymore room in my heart. There is now, and it's reserved for Mr. Dosh.

to landscapesss, that is how I felt as well, until I listened to it on repeat a few times through, and it really grew on me. Lost Take is till my favorite, but give wolves and wishes another shot.
