Technicolour Dreaming

It was a solo Brat presenting this week’s show... but I was not left totally alone, because I was joined by a couple of members of premier Adelaide psych/fuzz band, Ride Into The Sun, for a chat and a preview of two new tracks, which may appear on their forth-coming new EP. I also played a slew of new releases, including tracks by the Barbarellatones, the Horrors, Thee Oh Sees and the Lord Street Sound, local bands Friends and Hit the Jackpot, plus the new single by Black Cab. Of course there were also some 60’s songs by the likes of the Monkees and the Monks, an instrumental Bowie classic and a rare track by Dave Davies of the Kinks. I finished with our new “Release of the Month” for July... the long-awaited debut E.P. by Australian psych band, the Laurels, entitled ‘Mesozoic’...
