!!! (Chk Chk Chk) at The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth

On a quiet weeknight at Portsmouth’s Wedgewood Rooms saw US band !!! (Chk Chk Chk) start the UK leg of their tour for their newly released eighth studio record ‘Let It Be Blue’.

Despite the lack of attendance at the venue the band brought huge energy to the small, independent venue. Frontman Nic Offer brought his infamous flamboyant vibes to Portsmouth. Offer spent all set swapping between jumping up and down on stage and getting in amongst the crowd to sing and dance with everyone. Something that’s bot often seen by artists when they perform, but !!! used the space in the crowd to their advantage.

Disappointingly !!! chose not to play any of their classic tracks but it was great to hear their new material from a proper sound system and to see how it came across in a live capacity. For a band with now over 25 years experience, they certainly know how to entertain.
