The Pastels at La Chunky

The Pastels record their new album at La Chunky.  The legendary Glasgow indie stalwarts have chosen the studio to work on their latest release with engineer/producer Alistair “Bal” Cooke. Recordings have gone splendidly and mixing is about to begin - direct to ½” analogue tape, an increasingly rare request! Studio techies are busy with line-up tones and oscilloscopes getting our trusty tape machines ready for action. Oh how we love tape here at the Towers!! 

NBC 4 in the United States has named 'See Heart See Muscle' by Amplifico as #10 in their list of "Must Buy CDs of Early 2008", alongside the likes of Portishead, Lenny Kravitz and REM! The album was produced and mixed by Ronan and Colin at the studio during 2007. Buy it! It is fantastic.

Isosceles record latest critically-acclaimed single at La Chunky: after being spotted by Alex Kapranos, Isosceles scored a coveted support slot with Scottish indie pop royalty Franz Ferdinand. Onwards and upwards, the band are now about to launch the latest single, ‘Kitch Bitch/Watertight’, - recorded at La Chunky Studios. Launch party is on 18th April at SWG3, Glasgow

La Chunky Demo helps win record deal for hotly-tipped Glasgow band Correcto. Domino Records, home to Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand were so knocked out by the band’s recent demo and live shows that they signed the band up to a recording deal AND a publishing deal. More proof that a Chunky recording reaches places other recordings can’t.
