Incoming: !!! (Chk Chk Chk) at Detroit Bar

​

!!! owe a good chuck of their fame to the fact that they chose three exclamation points--commonly pronounced "chk chk chk," but really, whatever matching syllables work--for their band name. It's undeniably distinctive, and evocative in a way ";;;" or "{{{" really wouldn't be.

While we're waiting for a follow-up to the dance-punk band's 2007 release Myth Takes, they're doing the touring thing, including a stop at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa on September 28. Tickets are on sale now for $18, and LA's Indian Jewelry, who I recently saw play a rooftop in Echo Park (OMG so hip!), open the show. Take a look at the poster here.

Also coming to Detroit: hip-hop duo Flosstradamus on October 23. Much buzzed-about rapper Kid Sister opens; she's actually the older sister of J2K from Flosstradamus. Weird, right? Tickets are $20 and on sale now.
