!!! (pronounced as any three repeated sounds—most people say “chk chk chk,” but you can call them “ding ding ding” if you feel like it) turn punk purists into disco fanatics and stiff asses into funk jelly. !!!’s eight members combine horns, percussion, guitars, and live effects into taut funk and psychedelic disco backdrops for Nic Offer’s goofy dancing and like-I-give-a-fuck vocals. Song titles like “Get Up,” “Freak the Funk,” and “Take Ecstasy with Me” disclose !!!’s mission: total dance-floor hedonism. (Neumo’s, 925 E Pike St, 709-9467. 8 pm, $13 adv, 21+.) Eric Grandy

I believe the proper phonetic pronunciation for an exclamation point is, "EEEEEEEEEE - pop!"

(Dr. Demento used to air a routine by some Brit comedian - I believe - who would vocalize the punctuation marks in a particularly banal piece of contemporary literature).
