(chk chk chk) at the Classic Grand, Glasgow on Radio Magnetic.

Since the release of their eponymous debut album in 2000, !!! (or Chk Chk Chk) have gained a well deserved reputation for their amazingly energetic, vital and at times manic live shows.

Now, the band have returned with a new album,  Strange Weather Isn’t it? recorded in Berlin, New York and Sacramento. We think its their most consistent LP to date.  So, with a record full of new songs burning a hole in their back pockets, the band are set to embark on a world tour. Showcasing the best of their new material, classics from the back catalogue and the energetic live performance that they have become synonymous with. Expect psychedelic funk, punk, house reworkings and extended versions of their tunes at this gig. We can’t wait to see them again.

One of the dates is at Glasgow’s Classic Grand on Saturday 30 October and we’ve got a pair of tickets to give away. To be in with a chance of winning simply answer the easy peasy question below. Good luck!

This October label mates James Yuill and Silver Columns are gracing the Fence Records Halloween party at Glasgow’s Stereo as part of a country-wide tour.

We think its an inspired pairing, with both receiving support from RM shows like Orbit and Jim Gellatly’s new music.

Since his debut LP in 2008, James Yuill has gained an army of fans due to his beautiful, emotional songwriting paired with quality beats. He’s now in high demand around the world, demonstrating the wide appeal of this unique one man band.

We’ve been fans of Silver Columns since their debut appearance at the Fence records Homegame in February. Like their tour mate, they defy categorization. Call it electro, call it synth pop, call it new wave, call it whatever you want. All we know is that the Yes and Dance LP packs some serious punch, and with a summer full of festival appearances and a brilliant Caribou remix under their belt its advised to see these guys before they explode.

Luckily, we’re in a generous mood here at Radio Magnetic, so we’re giving you the chance to win a pair of tickets! For a chance to be there for free simply answer the easy peasy question below.  Good luck and god speed.

Well done and the answer to our question was, of course, Benjamin Pettit is Zinc’s real name.

We’ve emailed you with details Sara. Have an great night!

This should be a top night, the one and only DJ Zinc will be making his long overdue return to Glasgow, bringing his new found crack house sound to the masses. Recent collaborations with Benga, Dave Spoon and Ms Dynamite as well as his remix of La Roux have shown us he’s still dance music royalty, no matter what he plays or how he plays it.

L-Vis 1990 makes his HYP? debut, bringing with him the new sound of London. Recent releases on Mad Decent, Dress 2 Sweat, Sound Pellegrino and Night Slugs as well as remixes of Primary 1, Diplo, DJ Mujava & FrankMusik have confirmed him as the most exciting new names in dance music. Renowned for his fast and frantic mix of funky, dubstep, bassline and mega bass, he’s sure to push the Bodysonic system to it’s limits and show us all how he gets down.

Joining these two will be our very own A La Fu of Radio VaVa and Big Dada notoriety on the warm up…

Tickets are still available at £10 a pop from Ticket Scotland and Clubtickets.com
