Technicolour Dreaming

After coincidentally beginning this week’s edition of  Technicolour Dreaming with Norway’s the Apricot and Wales’ Apple, the Cat & the Brat just couldn’t resist a ‘fruit-salad’ set – the Electric Prunes even had a fruit-referencing song -  from around the world, but once we got to Quincy Conserve, it had to stop, because there are so many and we could have done a whole show of them... so we moved into more psychedelic sounds starting with perennial favourites, Wooden Shjips. Later, there were a bunch of local bands from different eras, such as Systems Go from the early 80’s through to debut releases by Jim Jennings [of God God Dammit Dammit fame] and the title track from the cassette-only EP by Major Crimes, plus the debut  Zoot single in support of singer Darryl Cotton’s battle with cancer, before we ended the show with the Sunnyboys in their first appearance as our new ‘Band of the Month’.....
