!!!, pronounced "chk chk chk", are an 8-piece Californian band who've been releasing various singles on home turf since 1997.
The pioneering UK label, normally associated with more experimental electro acts such as Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada and Broadcast, has licensed a single from the Touch 'n' Go label in Chicago. 'Me and Guiliani Down by the School Yard (A True Story)' will be the first release via Warp. More details on that when we get them.
The band will be playing UK gigs this summer. They play twisted punk/funk meets dance 'n' soul. Quite possibly one for fans of The Rapture, Radio 4, Moving Units etc.
One song title is 'We Were Stoned When We Thought Up The Title Of This And We Didn't Want To Give It A Name That We Had To Explain As 'Oh Yeah We Were Stoned When We Thought Of It' So We're Just Calling It Improvisational Jam 11-02-01' ... so you know they're obviously good.
!!! are John Pugh (drums), Tyler Pope (guitar), Justin Van Der Volgen (bass), Mario Andreoni (guitar), Allan Wilson (sax-percussion), Dan Gorman (trumpet-percussion), Nic Offer (throat), and Jason Racine (percussion).
