Doesn't this kind of limit your chances for making it?

"Do you have the new album by !!!?"

"I'd like to buy tickets for !!!"

cdollaz

I think so.

Filmmaker

I don't know...Prince survived the



years...

DRG

It worked for during that phase just because he at least had the Prince name to play off of, "Artist formerly known as..." etc.

According to wikipedia...
Kind of silly, IMO.

! is known as "bang" in the Unix world. So it could be Bang Bang Bang.

"Chk chk chk" is by far the most common pronounciation for the band. I wasn't aware of any alternate ones until I read this thread.

nodeerforamonth

WTF? I would've pronounced it "exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point".

Giles

"tba"

mndtrp

The clever thing about that name, though, is it's at the top of artist lists when sorting alphabetically.

I've also always heard it as "chk, chk, chk". I've never heard the music, though.

Maybe they should try ^^^ formerly known as !!!.

Lee Harvey Oswald

Is the Piano Man ruined by every person in the crowd singing along to it? That always annoyed me when that song turned into karokee night.

mndtrp

I'm confused.

nazz

So was !!! formerly known as Billy Joel?

Cosmic Bus

I'm a fan of the umlaut that Björk and a lot of heavy bands use so copiously. Somebody seriously needs to start a band called Ümläüt and the Öömpä-Löömpäs.

vedderstapp

I went to see Silverchair once, and the band supporting them were call Nujahoda or something.

dhmac

I can't wait until some band names itself:

(i.e. a blank space)

It's coming (if it hasn't happened already), I'm sure.

alfonsosoriano

I bet they're an emo band.

cgray

!!! makes some really fun music. also, the wikipedia definition is correct. while the band is normally referred to as chk chk chk (i think that is supposed to be three quick, staccato symbal taps), they insist that any (musical?) sound repeated three times suffices. very post mod, i guess. anyway, check out the music.
