Release Notes:
Following a titillating tour in summer '95 between
Popesmashers and Black Liquorice, !!! officially
formed upon their return at one of the famously
ultra-hot, all-night Sacramento, CA dance parties.
The tour had provided the attendees - and a few of
the band members - with plenty to think about.
Black Liquorice came with disco covers without the
kitsch, and Popesmashers followed with loud,
propulsive noise. The combination of these styles
seemed odd to some, but it worked in the most
primal sense, leading the aforementioned band
members and others to wonder - Why NOT feel this?
All the fucking time.
The eight members of !!! had grown up playing
various breeds of punk and experimental music (!!!
frontman Nic was vocalist for the infamous hardcore
band, Yah Mos), and increasingly found themselves
wanting to play music in the vein of the stuff they
were dancing to. Which is not to say !!! are a punk
band, nor a funk band, for that matter. They are
both. And neither.
The !!! symbol was chosen, rather than a
conventional band name, because it reflects the
excitement shared by the band members, mixed with
an intense desire to shake things up. They have
toured the U.S. repeatedly, amassing a sizeable
following thanks to their cathartic live shows. The
years spent train-hopping, hitch-hiking and touring
DIY style have forged a desire to take !!!
everywhere, fast.
!!! shares three of its members with Out Hud,
including Tyler Pope, who is also in LCD
Soundsystem. !!! has released a 12" split EP with
Out Hud, as well as a seven-inch on Hopscotch
called "Dis-ease". A self-titled debut came out on
GSL in 2000, which included the nine minute
manifesto, "There's No Fucking Rules, Dude" - an
exhortation to forget your worries and just shake
your ass... dude. Got it?
!!! is John Pugh (drums), Nic Offer (vocals), Allan
Wilson (percussion, horns), Mario Andreoni
(guitar), Tyler Pope (guitar, keys), Justin
Vandervolgen (bass, sound engineering tweaks), Dan
Gorman (percussion, horns), and Jason Racine
(percussion).
FYI:
!!! is pronounced as any three repetitive sounds.
Common interpretations are chicchicchic, powpowpow,
uhuhuh, among many unlimited possibilities.
