!!! aka ChkChkChk is playing at Royale Boston (doors at 7pm, show at 8pm) tonight with opener Fol Chen. The punk-dance-rhythm-experimentalists are touring in support of their new album on Warp Records (go there to get song clips and videos). The new record, Strange Weather Isn't It?, has some incredible songs on it with the tracks "AM/FM" and "The Hammer" as the clear favorites in terms of singles but we also liked "Jump Back". It's obvious though, that "The Hammer" will be the track to add to their 'frenzy-inducing' tunes which include "Intensify", "Pardon My Freedom", "Me and Giuliani Down by the School Yard (A True Story)", and "Must Be The Moon" from their previous albums.
Cold War Kids played the area twice last weekend, Friday night at the Middle East Downstairs, and Saturday at Northampton’s Pearl Street Nightclub. Both shows sharply contrasted with the California-based indie rockers’ gig at Great Scott last fall, most notably in terms of the crowd. The Great Scott show felt like a house party, complete with technical glitches that the small-but-dedicated crowd, most of whom probably read about the band on an MP3 blog, or saw them open for Tapes ‘N Tapes last spring, happily ignored. After addiction to Cold War Kids set in following their last stint in the area, Bostonist was dragged to the band’s sold-out gigs – hence the weekend o’ Cold War Kids.
