!!! (Chk Chk Chk) Release New Video Ahead Of UK Tour

• 3rd Feb 2016

!!! have released a new video collaboration with Casper Kelly, creator of Adult Swim’s viral sensation “Too Many Cooks” video.

This time its for the song “Every Little Bit Counts,” which you can watch exclusively over on Funny or Die right now.

Casper Kelly comments on the project:

“Every Little Bit Counts” excited me because it is such a fun, fun song and tonally different from the weirder, darker stuff I usually do. The basic idea is there’s a stuffy world, in this case the news, and Nic comes in like Willie Wonka or the Cat in the Hat and has a bit of fun with it. Crazily and coincidentally, while shooting on the set Nic told me he once did a thing like this in real life – he was walking somewhere and there was a news crew interviewing a man opposed to gay marriage, and Nic popped in and said something in the mic. If someone by chance taped that newscast he’d love a copy.”

!!! are also about to head out on a UK and European tour and have a special surprise. They’ll be supported on the road by Stereolad, which is them…but covering Stereolab.

About the idea to tour as tribute band as support on their own shows, front man Nic Offer says:“Why? Just for a kicks, for a laugh, just cuz we want to. Same reasons we’ve been !!! all along. But seriously, we like a challenge, it seemed like a fun way to press our boundaries, we like to play, it was cheaper than hiring the real Stereolab to open for us and I look fantastic in a dress. So there. That seems like enough good reasons, no?”
