MP3: !!! – Must Be The Moon (Hot Chip Remix)

Last night marked my third time witnessing the genius that is !!!. My previous rendezvous with the band took place at Mercury Lounge and Bowery Ballroom, respectively (review of the latter gig can be read here). Thankfully, in spite of their latest show being hosted at the much-dreaded Webster Hall, the band put on a brilliant & energetic hour-long encore-less set. !!! chose to highlight the majority of their best-of-’07 release, Myth Takes, while closing the show with a blustering version of ‘Intensify’, from their debut LP. Learn more about !!! here at their MySpace page. Enjoy some photos from the show + a !!! MP3 below.

MP3: !!! – The Step

Attending a !!! show is kind of like getting a full body workout. By the time the seventy minutes are complete, you feel as if you’ve participated in vigorous aerobic training, battled an intense hour of kickboxing and ran the 5-mile sprint. Needless to say, you’ll be sweating and jumping manically all the same. Last night’s !!! show was the best I’ve ever seen the Brooklyn 8-piece, to date. A truly exceptional gig from the hometown heroes.

Focusing primarily on their latest release, this year’s Myth Takes, and their last album, 2005′s Louden Up Now, !!! brought a disturbing amount of energy to the Bowery Ballroom. It’s been close to a year since I last saw the guys and I nearly forgot what an enigmatic and electrifying frontman, Nic Offer, really is. Complete with a parade of shouting, a series of unusual yet sparkling dance moves and a tendency to utter the F bomb more often than the naughtiest sailor, Nic Offer is irreplaceable and fucking brilliant.

Perhaps the highlight of the evening, not counting the show-closing ‘Intensify’, would have to be the back-to-back punch of ‘Must Be The Moon’ and ‘Hello? Is This Thing On?’ in the middle of the set. For the latter, various !!! band members joined concertgoers in the front few rows to bust a move and sing along with the crowd. Dancetastic.

Check out a great interview with !!! here at Gigwise, or hop over to the band’s MySpace page by following this link (beware of the fierce animation). Official (and rarely updated) site can be found here.

These guys can do no wrong in my book, but how do you feel about their latest video for Myth Takes‘ upcoming single, ‘Must Be The Moon’? Share your thougths below.

Read our review of Myth Takes here.

MP3: !!! – Must Be The Moon

Sitting down with Billboard this week, the band explains how they are eager to get right back into the studio to complete some Myth Takes reinterpretations and/or a new album entirely.

“I’d like to at least do some new versions of songs from this record… I don’t know if you’d call them remixes, though. We’ve been playing around with this thing on tour where we took the last kind of rave-up instrumental break from ‘Bend Over Beethoven’ and developed it into its own little entity that’s really stripped down and a completely different texture for the band.

I’m keen to turn that into a proper 12-inch for DJs to use… We think it could be a little treat for people who have been hanging out with ‘Myth Takes’ for awhile and know the record. And then maybe some other songs will come out while we’re in doing that.”

After teasing us with their covers EP, Take Ecstasy With Me/Get Up, at the end of ’05, !!! fans, including myself, have been anxiously awaiting the full-length follow up to Louden Up Now. Well, it has arrived, and it’s fantastic!

Myth Takes‘s ten tracks begin right where Louden Up Now left off, full of high energy which only increases as the album progresses. ‘Bend Over Beethoven’, which clocks in at a little over 8 minutes, is easily this album’s ‘Me And Giuliani’. The epic track, the one that you are dying to hear live, the one that you put on your workout/dance/freakout playlist. Nearly every tune on the album is met with that same intensity and it’s intoxicating!

While some might criticize !!! for not varying much from their core sound, I have to applaud them for it. Their sound is distinct and consistently entertaining. Well well WELL worth the wait!
