trying to find the name of a band...

edited January 2015 in Chit chat
was reading about when Prince changed his name to that symbol, and I remembered this band whose name was also a symbol. but I've been googling and cant find anything

their name was something like this:

< > >

and apparently it was supposed to be pronounced something like 'tick tack tock'?

they were Australian, apparently about in late 70s early 80s ish, so maybe Karingal might know. and they were possibly punk so maybe mel or grey key might recognise it?

literally can't find anything at all, I cant even remember where I got that info from. possibly an old john peel show

    Ha! I was reading about them the other day. They have a wikipedia page. Give me a second and I'll dig it out.

    Hmmmm I know of !!! or chk chk chk as it seems to be written these days, and that's who I was going to reply with, even though they're not Australian, but I guess I don't need to now.

    I'd probably never know about chk chk chk or !!!, but one of the members is a previous member of the Yah Mo's, and I quite like that band.

    nice one Lee! :smile:

    was starting to think I might've been making it up

    'experimental' not punk, but I wasn't that far out with the pronunciation. all I got was some Japanese band called Tic Tac Toe

    doesn't seem to be any of their stuff on youtube, tried searching the symbols and "tsk tsk tsk"
