!!!, Tussle and Von Iva at The Mezzanine
This show was something ..... I *heart* !!! more than you know.
Epitonic describes their sound, "....if Sly and the Family Stone had come of musical age as smart working class blokes in late '70s England hanging about with Gang of Four and The Fall. !!!'s rhythms are as nervous and jittery as they come, flayed by thin wiry guitars, then transformed into a strange kind of manic funk by sweaty horns that come in out of nowhere."
7 members, percussionist doubles on alto sax, drummer doubles on vox while percussionist takes the kit and plays alto, lead singer dances like a mad man from beginning to end of show, 2 members appear from time to time playing horns one on bari sax and the other on trumpet, the sweltering crowd shakes it just as intensely as the lead singer and the kicker - these geeky dudes who 20 something hipsters have come to adore are from Brooklyn by way of Sacramento. Awesome!
