!!!

Yes that is the name of the band. !!! combines catchy guitar riffs with electronic dance beats making for a very irrestible product. The album plays like Pink Floyd married David Bowie, then had a surrogate bastard child with The Cooper Temple Clause. Ok I know that was confusing... but the music isn't. It makes for a great solid album that never stops until the last track. Sometimes the music is spacey, other times forceful and poppy. The album is called Myth Takes and this is the video for one of the better tracks on the album, "Must Be the Moon". Also check out the video for "Heart of Hearts"!

!!! (often pronounced as chk chk chk) is an American band that formed in fall 1996 from the former bandmembers of The Yah Mos, Black Liquorice and Popesmashers.

After a tour together, Black Liquorice and Popesmashers decided to mix the former's disco and funk style with the latter's noisy aggressiveness, and !!! was born. The band's name was inspired by the subtitles of the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy, in which the mouth-clicking sounds of the Bushmen were represented as "!". In the International Phonetic Alphabet postalveolar click consonants are represented by ǃ which is not an exclamation mark but a pipe with a subscript dot.

Based triply in Sacramento, California, Portland, Oregon and New York City, their debut full-length record came out in 2000 as a self-titled album on the label Gold Standard Laboratories. This was followed in 2003 by the acclaimed single "Me and Giuliani Down By the School Yard", a lengthy track combining house beats with sinewy basslines, psychedelic guitars, and simple, silly lyrics which quote the title song of the musical Footloose. They are known for their cathartic live shows, and are commonly associated with the dance-punk movement.

!!! is composed of Mario Andreoni (guitar), Dan Gorman (horns/percussion/keys), Nic Offer (vocals), Tyler Pope (guitar/various electronic devices), John Pugh (drums/vocals), Justin Van Der Volgen (bass/sound) and Allan Wilson (horns/percussion/keys). Drummer Jerry Fuchs (who has played with The Juan Maclean) joined the band for Myth Takes. Jason Racine formerly played percussion. The band also shared membership with the similar, defunct group Out Hud (including Tyler Pope, who has played with LCD Soundsystem) which played instrumental music that was more dub-influenced and experimental.

The Noisettes

Immeddiate impressions of this band may bring to mind the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Shingai Shoniwa though is no Karen O and she wants you to know it. She sings with a clarity that Karen sometimes lacks. It has a feel of a late 70's punk, with a touch of the 60's rockabilly. While the album, "What's the Time Mr. Wolf", itself is not solid through and through, it creates a very impressive debut that makes the mouth water wondering what the next step could hold for this band. Check out great tracks on the album like Sister Rosetta, Scratch Your Name and the Count of Monte Christo. Here is the video for Sister Rosetta.

The band formed in 2003 when guitarist Smith and singer Shoniwa of the band Sonarfly began playing and writing together more often. The two met drummer Morrison (formerly of Living With Eating Disorders, Willis, Six Toes, Jaywalk Buzz and others) in December 2003 and played a number of gigs across London over the winter.

They recorded their debut EP Three Moods of the Noisettes during this time, which was released in April 2005 on London indie label Side Salad Records. This led to signing internationally with Universal Music Group, who released the EP in the US on the Low Altitude imprint. Their next single, "Iwe" was released via the Transgressive label, followed by "Scratch Your Name" on Mercury/Side Salad Records; since then all releases have been on the Vertigo Records label.

Noisettes have toured Europe and the United States extensively, with the likes of TV on the Radio, Tom Vek, Babyshambles, Bloc Party and the Mystery Jets. They supported Muse on a UK and European arena tour in November and December 2006, and toured the UK to promote the release of their debut album What's the Time Mr. Wolf? in February 2007. Noisettes also appeared at the Coachella festival on April 27th, 2007.[1]
