!!!'s (pronounced Chk Chk Chk) are certainly one of a kind as far as bands go.

Described in their press release as “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.”

Described by NME as "acid-bleeding, cowbell-tapping new groove brilliance from the most talked about act in the NME Office"

Whatever the case, I'm sure you get the picture that don't get the opportunity to see a live show like this all that often.

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 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 radio thrashing and was voted Single Of The Year by NME - now they're set to smash out their new album 'Myth Takes' live in Oz.

At their gigs the band take the approach of a DJ, combining their songs into one continuous collage of sounds, changing to suit the mood and atmosphere of the event.

Tour Dates:
Thursday March 8 – Sydney, The Forum
Friday March 9 – Brisbane, The Columbian
9th, 10th & 11th March - Playground Weekender, Del Rio Resort, NSW (1.5 hours from Sydney)
Monday March 12 – Melbourne, Prince of Wales

P.S.: The name of the band is pronounced by repeating any three identical monosyllabic sounds. !!! – Chk Chk Chk is the most common of these, but they can also be called Pow Pow Pow, Bam Bam Bam, Uh Uh Uh, Etc Etc Etc. or whatever else you can think of that sounds good.

'Heart Of Hearts' will be released as a single in mid February 2007 on Warp Records.
The album 'Myth Takes' will be released on 5th March 2007 on Warp Records.
