!!! (chk chk chk)
Civil Society and Warp Records are thrilled to announce the debut Australian tour of one of the most sexy, talented, visceral and downright skewed bands on the planet - the 18 legged groove juggernaught of indie/dance mayhem known as !!!
Stay close for !!!’s (pron. Chk Chk Chk) cut ‘n’ paste pop art sound-splash built from lupine post-punk bass patterns, spaghetti western guitars, African polyrhythms, house bleeps and vintage Philly soul.
Formed in 1995 (with members of LCD Soundsystem and OUTHUD in the crowded ranks) specifically to play an all-night party in Sacramento, California, they’re easily one of the most exciting live acts in the world. Their last album ‘Louden Up Now’ blew heads off, the dancefloor destroying single ‘Me & Giuliani Down By The School Yard’ got a royal JJJ thrashing and was voted Single Of The Year by NME - now they’re set to smash out their killer new album ‘Myth Takes’ live in Oz.
It’s no exaggeration to say that there is no music like this being made anywhere else on the planet. With their new album ‘Myth Takes’ and supporting Red Hot Chilli Peppers on an arena tour marathon, !!! have stretched themselves so far that they’ve become truly peerless.
