View Albums >!!! Biography
Along with the Rapture, !!! (pronounced chk chk chk) were leaders of the new-millennial dance punk craze that swept the indie underground. While other bands looked to U.K. post-punk acts of the late '70s, !!! possessed a genuine love for the funky groove. Replete with a full horn section and necessarily tight rhythm section, the California-via-Brooklyn act presented the slinky pulse of the jam band set to an audience that would normally react in horror to such a concept. The band's self-title...Read More >

The extra exclamation points are there purposely. I just can't get enough of the band "!!!" (pronounced chk chk chk), especially the album "Myth Takes". Don't have much time to write about this now, but I thought I would share an unbelievable song with you. It's called "Bend Over Beethoven", and while I don't know if they are talking about the dog from the movie (can dogs bend over?) or the dead composer, I just love this song. Enjoy.... MORE

!!! vocalist and percussionist John Pugh has left the band to focus more on his other side project, Free Blood.
Pugh has been noticeably absent from !!! shows throughout the summer.
He confirmed to the Alternative Press that was to make "manic background music for ensuing debauchery" with Free Blood.
Pugh spoke to Pitchfork more specifically and recently saying: "I officially quit at the end of July. We had pretty much been on tour since February and I h... MORE

I really don't have anything to say about this band other than I like 'em, and I thought of that post title witout actually having anything to post about. It does however disturb me to no end that they seem to forever be #1 in my iTunes library because of their name. I guess that's until enya enya enya forms. I'm not really sure how I feel about this song though:... MORE

I've been doing a lot of different music-related activities, but have been doing a poor job of documenting them, whether here or elsewhere, so I'd better start rectifying the situation. I'll start with my most recent experience, this past Saturday, of going to Club Congress to see The Field and !!!, the band that's impossible to find in record stores because no one knows where to file its product.
I've never been the go-out-and-dance sort, even though I do enjoy d... MORE

!!! at the Showplace Theater, Buffalo, NY with The Stay Lows and Holy F--k 5/12/2007 Wow, what a great show! My ears are still ringing. I was five feet from the stage with BrainFoodX and a couple other friends. The Showplace Theater is exactly what it sounds like, a former movie theater turned dive bar. The beer was cheap though, $3.50 each. We got to the venue at 6:50 pm, expecting the doors to open at 7 pm. We were the first "smiling white kids" to arrive, to quote my ... MORE

2Dance rockers !!! (pronounced chk-chk-chk) have released an orgy and cult friendly video for “Must Be The Moon,” their second single off Myth Takes. It basically looks like the octet invited some of their closest friends for a full moon party in their living room. You know the ones where people drink mushroom tea or lick up MDMA from their palms like it’s a pixy-stix and then make out with each other? Beginning today, the band is also taking the dance pa...

!!! – MYTH TAKES (2007) Whatever happened to Dance Punk? Those halcyon days of 2003 when every music magazine was reporting that Indie bands were discarding guitars and taking to processed rhythms, liberal shouting and copious additions of odd percussive instruments. !!! were one of the reckless new breed and the single that first brought attention to a wide audience, “Me and Giuliani Down By the School Yard", was a mesmerizing excursion into house rhythms and snaky ...

saw !!! at the columbian in brisbane last friday night. tiny run down place, low ceilings, no air-con, temperatures would have been in the mid-thirties celsius, and i'm sweating it out in a pink wig a la portman in closer. a techie from !!! with a mad (real) afro rather ironically compliments me on my fake hair. i'm wearing jack purcells and a vintage slinky knee-length dress. i'm surprised at how well dressed everyone is for such a dive bar. a girl in the bathroom comments t...
