(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.

Watch this video excerpt from Behind Closed Doors Vol.2  featuring FS Green on Radio Magnetic.

Our resident videographer and film maker, Andy Brown, has been part of the extended RM team for some time now and is responsible for most of the film production work we produce with our parent company, Inner Ear. Currently working on projects for T In The Park and the 5 Minutes In Edinburgh series, he also, in his spare time is an integral part of the Louis Den collective of artists.

Andy has been making waves in amongst the YouTube community since early 2006 with a range of music production related videos and since then his YouTube work has collectively clocked up over a million hits. He’s also involved with Birmingham based music producer community Louis Den and in August 2007 he met Darren Hay and what started as an ambitious idea finally turned into an 80 minute DVD! Check out the excerpt from the DVD above.

This is FS Green, he’s 20 years old, from Amsterdam and he features in Behind Closed Doors Vol.2, a hip hop production DVD magazine filmed, edited and released by Andy Brown and Darren Hay. They pressed up a limited run of 500 hand-numbered DVDs and have 200 left for sale. The 80 minute DVD features talent from up and down the UK as well as overseas in Holland. There’s inside tips, tricks, beatmaking techniques, interviews, insights and of course beats! Vol.3 is currently in the works and is expected to be released sometime in 2011.

You can buy Behind Closed Doors Vol.2 over at the Louis Den website and tell the guys what you think over at twitter: @ab0181 and @kosyne

At T in the Park 2010, Radio Magnetic joined forces with The Skinny magazine to record and film a series of stripped back acoustic sessions with some of the best up-and-coming talent on show at this year’s festival.

Over the coming weeks you can watch the videos and hear the sessions in full here at Radio Magnetic and over at our friends, The Skinny’s website too.

Next in the series, formerly known as Paper Planes, we bring you Astral Planes. Three young men from Glasgow fronted by the understated charm of US-born singer, Jennifer Paley. The band blend the post-punk pop of 1980s Scottish acts like Aztec Camera and Orange Juice with Southern soul and country-blues flavours to wonderful effect.  Only three of the band took to the stage in our little kitchen in the media village after the full quartet had wowed the T Break fans earlier in the day. The fourth member had other things on his mind… Hope you enjoy the set.

Check out their set by clicking stream in the menu bar above or by clicking the player beneath that. And have a look at the video of them performing over at The Skinny website.

Keep an eye out for our sixth exclusive acoustic session next week. And have a listen to all Radio Magnetic and The Skinny Sessions at: radiomagnetic.com/titp

Well HE-LLO there, you handsome stranger, you! Welcome to this month’s Wrong Island podcast. There’s a lot happening on the Island this month:

First of all, Larry and hopefully Teamy, play at The Universal Wrong Island Versus Kitty Kat Klub on Saturday 4 September.

Teamy is covering at David Barbarossa’s Thing in Nice N Sleazy’s on the evening before this too, Friday 3 September. He’ll be trying his best to fill the disco legend’s beard that weekend, so expect proper disco and funk jams all night long. If only there was room for roller skates!

Then it’s our third birthday on Saturday 11 September so we’ll be having a big party in Sleazy’s where we’ll also be having the live debut of T&A as part of the celebrations. T&A for those who don’t know already, is the music/remix production name that Teamy works under with our good buddy, Aleks Jurczek. Check out some stuff here: soundcloud.com/tandaproduction

The live show should be a bit tougher: close to the stuff Daft Punk did in the mid to late 90s.

We’ll see you on the dancefloor.

As if all that wasn’t enough in September, a week later, Teamy is playing the Menergy Heathers party. Glasgow’s finest gay/tranny dance night has picked the film Heathers for the theme this month so jump back to the 80s, get yr scrunchies and yr croquet mallets out and get ready for some BIG FUN.

This month’s mix is pretty much a taster of what you can expect to hear at The Flying Duck on the Friday 17 September. HOW VERY.

Oh yeah, AND we just did a mix for the excellent LuckyMe Collective, so go check that out too: thisisluckyme.com

This month’s podcast is dedicated to all the Martha Dumptrucks in the world who hated school but now meet the Heathers from their childhoods and think ‘YOU were the cool kids?!? and also to Tranny Paul: Glasgow has lost some sparkle this month. RIP.

And check the rest of Wrong Island’s mixes on Radio Magnetic.

With Love from Glasgow

Larry and Teamy
