Technicolour Dreaming

Usual co-host Peter Brat being ‘indisposed’, your presenters for this week’s show were ‘the Bryan & the Cat’, playing our usual mix of psych, garage, surf, pop, punk, electro and so much more... including, from the vaults, Adelaide music from the Dagoes, the Brats and Liz Dealey, plus the un-released single by Exhibit A (produced by Tony Cohen in Melbourne in 1982, featuring Peter Brat, Stu Spasm, Chris Walsh of the Moodists, Richard Ploog from the Church and Brendon Walker) ... a clutch of classic Lipstick Killers, Jason Crest and Revillos tracks, plus artists ranging from perennial favourites Sparks through Apples In Stereo and Japan to the Detroit Cobras. They also featured recent recordings from bands such as Scotland’s the Fast Camels, the Horrors, the Brutes and Adelaide’s All the leaves have fallen plus, of course, our new “Album of the Month” by local legends Almost Numan...
