Technicolour Dreaming

This week the Cat and the Brat featured old songs and new, favourites and obscurities, with different sounds from both here in Australia and from the rest of the world... definitely Technicolour Dreaming! Beginning with a woozy track from the 2001 album by Texan trio, Lift To Experience, we ventured through some disparate psychedelic music from the likes of Suns of Arqa, Mother Tucker’s Yellow Duck, Scorpio Tube and Espers, to the garage beat of Melbourne’s Los Hories, UK band Thee Attacks, and Adelaide’s the Molting Vultures, local punk from Standard Union, Nederbeat from the Outsiders, dropping in some classic Easybeats and Death In June, with the Suburban Lawns “new-wave-novelty-hit” from 1979, ‘Gidget Goes To Hell’, thrown in as.... well, as a ‘novelty’! New to the station library were some fairly recent albums by UK band, the Psychotic Reaction, dropped in by a former member, Luke, who also brought in an advance copy of the debut album by Adelaide’s surf/garage kings, DieselWitch, his current band... so of course we played a track from both, ending the show with a ‘different’ take on Duran Duran’s “Planet Earth” by veteran Adelaide punks, Fear and Loathing!
