Just wondered if anyone like !!! (pronounced chkchkchk) because I am digging their new album Louden Up Now.....

nurzetrev - 6-9-2004 at 09:21 AM

well it just so happens that the teaser I bought 3 weeks ago is currently killing it on my hi fi.

Noisemonster - 6-10-2004 at 12:52 AM

I wanted to listen to !!! last Saturday, but the album was released on Monday... then I had no time so far this week. oh well, it's hard to ask for 'that band with the three exclamation marks' :lol: they all laugh at you...

Noisemonster - 6-10-2004 at 11:04 AM

lurker - 6-10-2004 at 02:00 PM

avw86 - 6-10-2004 at 11:36 PM

Ooh, yes!

I saw them at Coachella, and they were great! Very fun/energetic. Lotsa people grooving to them :)

I havent seen them live yet, but they are supposed to rock the fuck out

nurzetrev - 6-11-2004 at 11:08 AM

if you curious...not to insult yr knowhow's but, they call themselves
(!!!) chik chik chik... pronounced like it looks...
the album I bought on 2xlp is really cool and the cd apparently comes with a bonus...that I think is the disc version of the ep I got...the ep is damn fine little mix...

nurzetrev - 6-11-2004 at 11:09 AM

if you have an idea that you like them...you should also check out some of their mates... Out Hud... their record is really cool too...very similar, but you know I think they rubbed off on each other...

lomax - 6-11-2004 at 11:30 AM

cool. do you have there 2002 Selftitled record, Trev?

RoboticTerrorSTD - 6-11-2004 at 11:52 AM

wow :wow: lot's of hoop-la with this band........how intriguing......
I think i'll check em' out.

TurtleEnterprises - 6-11-2004 at 01:25 PM

I like hoop-la .... :yes:

Noisemonster - 6-12-2004 at 05:18 AM

I'm pissed now as the record store doesn't have the album... poor Germany :mad:

nurzetrev - 6-13-2004 at 02:34 PM

don't have the s/t... hoop-la...hoop-skirts ...hoopty doo ...hoopy fucking dee dee da... man... that's gonna be a great song that's breaks into top 40 in like ...jong jing or somewhere

poobs - 6-13-2004 at 02:39 PM

Where exactly is jong jing? :duh:

nurzetrev - 6-13-2004 at 10:02 PM

man...shiiiiiiitt...you don't know jong jing? ...:lol::lol::lol: ...shoot it's somewhere between Bangcock...Malaysia...and Federalsburg street, home of pong-ping champs and all night foot massage parlours...

nurzetrev - 6-13-2004 at 10:06 PM

and that song up there...who wrote it?...I did baby...that's right... inspired by the time I was like... 8...at disneyworld...standing in line behind a couple of the guys from duran duran...yeah they were trying not to be noticed, but I asked them if I could bum some lipgloss and if they were like...hungry like the wolf...

nurzetrev - 6-14-2004 at 10:09 PM

...m'k...so I finally figured out just what 'it is' about them...they totally synthesized the essence of the Clash and made a record totally made for boomboxes carried over your shoulder circa 80's London Calling, Rock the Casbah...it's all there except the digital watch alarm sound...all the beats and percussion and the attitude...and the politics are squelched quite a bit more...
it gets better and better now that its been rockin in my car, but thats what Ima hearing...shaping the sound of my summer...especially 'pardon my freedom'..."llike I give a shhhit...like I give a ffffuk...like I give a mother ffffn' shhh"...oh and m'fn Krazee...awww yeahhh...
it's awesome

lomax - 6-17-2004 at 06:09 AM

agreed. my album of the year so far. (better than
Beasties, franz, killers. ordinary boys etc.)

poobs - 6-17-2004 at 09:41 AM

The Beastie Boys album sucks..

MichelleRene - 6-17-2004 at 11:13 AM

well that figures...they were never a fav of mine anyway...between things I won't mention and their ridiculous liberal views they get on my nerves. The new song and video is funny though...playing basketball as Spock is hilarious. Adams voice is so whiney and annoying...I want to put his head in a vice grip! He looks like Seth Green in their new video...or is it Seth Green...maybe they're related....:lol: wouldn't suprise me. They're actually playing in DC tonight....eesh. I wouldn't buy one of their albums......:rolleyes:

nurzetrev - 6-17-2004 at 11:29 PM

unfortunately I just listened to a copy I 'won' on the radio and ummm...yeah...let's see here...I know I have a hammer around here somewhere..., no, wait...ok, first lets get a few firecrackers...yep, ok, were just gonna tape these together and shove them in this little hole...like so...ahhh huh...and let's put some whip cream on the top where the "artwork" is ...ok...yeah...ok, I'm walking out into the street...ok and it's just those two dudes over there drinking thunderbird...but they won't care...ok, lemme grap this orange pylon cone...that'll make a good 'stand' for this here "exploding rocketshit"...yeah...ok, lighter, check,...wait, let's get some lighter fluid...yeah...that'll help...ok, where was I ...oh...yeah...ok... earplugs, check, ...ok, lemme just light the wick and see if it sounds better now... :rolleyes::duh::yawn::lol::lol::lol:

nurzetrev - 6-17-2004 at 11:35 PM

so like I was saying...:lol::lol::lol:...the new !!! record is just the f'n feel good hit of the summer pt II... new favorite track...'Hello is this thing on?'

TUNE! The bit at the end when he's shouting is amazing....

lurker - 6-27-2004 at 01:05 AM

is it me or are they getting increased exposure?

WarholDisciple - 6-29-2004 at 08:37 PM

Well this band sounds really interesting. Why is !!! pronounced chkchkchk?? That's badass! I'll definitely look into them.

Noisemonster - 7-2-2004 at 12:41 AM

:duh: So now I'm off to finally get that record - had to order it.
And if it's not good.................. I'll be very frustrated.

Noisemonster - 7-2-2004 at 02:20 AM

:rolleyes: still did not have it.

poobs - 7-2-2004 at 08:28 AM

:mad: You need to kick some ass, Noise..:ticking:

nurzetrev - 7-3-2004 at 10:21 AM

after not listening to it for a week or so, no matter what some disaffected critix say...i still think it's gonna kicky yr ass... equally as cool is the companion 12" pardon my freedom record... was like 4.99...just great stuff
