!!! @ The Wardrobe, Wednesday 27^th November

Punk-funk veterans !!! – pronounced as ‘Chk Chk Chk’ or any noise repeated three times – are some the hardiest survivors of the early-Noughties New York scene. Despite never really coming close to the commercial success that some of their erstwhile peers (many of them who are now broken up) achieved, they’ve ploughed the same furrow for nearly two decades. Currently touring their eighth album Wallop, the Wardrobe plays host to their reliably on-point live show on Wednesday night. (TICKETS)
