Technicolour Dreaming

On this last day of winter, the Cat & the Brat played an all-Australian show, with the exception of four of our favourite ‘overseas’ bands, which of course meant playing some Velvet Underground... how could we not! The bulk of the show though, featured current bands such as Adelaide’s own Like Leaves and brillig, Melbourne’s exciting Frowning Clouds and Sydney’s Black Cab, then travelled back to the 80’s, including 2 bands with new ‘best of’/rarities albums, the Lighthouse Keepers and the Ups and Downs, plus a few singles from the likes of the Church and Lizard Train. And we bade farewell to the Sand Pebbles in their final spin as ‘Album of the Month’......
