!!! Throw! Memorable! Dance! Party!

By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) October 16, 2007 12:00 pm
New York's !!! have gained a serious rep as a top-notch live act and, even months into their support trek for their Myth Takes full-length, which stopped at the Opera House on Monday night, they still pack a punch with their danceable rhythms, killer energy and bizarre post-punk sensibilities. First and foremost in this equation is vocalist Nic...

!!! — Myth Takes

in
By James Simons (CHARTattack) March 27, 2007 6:24 pm
Put electro-rockers !!!'s new album on during your morning commute and you've got about T-minus 90 seconds before you're absent mindedly grinding against your fellow streetcar passengers while they look on with puzzled/horrified expressions. Impressively, Myth Takes sustains its precise listener-locking grooves without ever becoming as stuffy or...

!!! — Louden Up Now

in
By Joel McConvey (CHARTattack) June 8, 2004 10:16 am
Bi-coastal nu-funk collective !!! (pronounced "chk chk chk") sport a list of influences as sizable as their membership. Credited with helping kick off the new indie dance craze, these progenitors of strutting mini-epics are inspired by everything from Krautrock (see "Dear Can," addressed to the eccentric German innovators) to Donna Summer, Prince...

20 Outlandish Rock Star Deaths

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) September 10, 2010 10:51 am
Deaths from overdosing are commonplace in the world of rock 'n' roll. But being hit in the head by a speedboat, choking on a ham sandwich or being shot to death on stage are far less commonplace. Former Electric Light Orchestra member Michael Edwards getting smushed last week was certainly a peculiar way to go out. So it got us thinking, "What...

!!! — Strange Weather, Isn't It?

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 26, 2010 4:23 pm
Disco punk has surprisingly outlived what should have been a very limited shelf life. Considering Death From Above 1979 couldn't last, all LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy wants to do is stop making music, and that it's been four years since The Rapture released an album, the genre does seem to be on its last legs. So it's...

Video Of The Day: !!!'s "AM/FM"

in
By CHARTattack Staff July 26, 2010 12:55 pm
!!!'s "AM/FM" sounds like something that could be found on Primal Scream's Screamadelica, but the clip looks like... well, the visualization of an epileptic seizure, basically. "AM/FM" will appear on !!!'s upcoming new album, Strange Weather, Isn't It?, due out Aug. 24 through Warp.

Rock 'n' roll musicians aren't as tough as they may seem. For instance, if you want to see the boys in !!! (pronounced "Chk Chk Chk") squirm a little, just ask them to name the capital cities of each Canadian province. "We feel uncomfortable saying Regina," concedes vocalist Nic Offer. Thankfully, the band only had to...

Brooklyn, New York octet !!! will continue to confuse people when they return with their second album on March 4.
