Technicolour Dreaming

We were joined on Technicolour Dreaming this week by Isomer’s David Tonkin (and his daughter Lara... at age 7, possibly our youngest interviewee yet!) who came in to promote his latest project, the debut CD by Bordel Militaire, a collaboration with a couple of Melbourne experimental /electronic /noise /punk musicians plus a few guests, including Boyd Rice. As well as playing a few songs from the album, David also ‘guest-hosted’, so scattered through the show were songs by such diverse artists as Scott Walker and Les Baxter through to Sabbath Assembly and Areyfu. Of course we also featured our regular psychedelic content, beginning with the Beatles and followed by the likes of a classic single by Hearts & Flowers, an early Bee Gees number [featuring the late Robin Gibb] and a song from the Higher State’s new album, as well as a dash of punk from the Slimeballs and early DouglasP band Crisis, plus lots more before we concluded with the Lovetones, our current “Band of the Month”.
