Technicolour Dreaming

This week’s show featured a variety of Australian artists, both new and from the past, including a song from this week’s “No. 1” album on 3D Radio by Adelaide’s own Avant Gardeners, as well as the ‘A-side’ of the new 7” single by the Amcats... the vinyl revival continues to gain pace! From the 80’s, we played a favourite from the Church and from the 60’s, a track by the brilliant, but largely forgotten, Toni McCann... she is, in our view, one of the best rockin’ singers of the era, the equal of the ‘stars’ such as Normie Rowe or Stevie Wright of the Easybeats! Also featured this week were tracks from the new six CD “Circus Days : Pop Psych Obscurities 1966-1972” box-set compilation and of course, a song from our new “Album of the Month” for June, “Crystal Theatre” by Belles Will Ring, the second album from this great Sydney psychedelic-flavoured outfit...
