Technicolour Dreaming

the Cat& the Brat were unable to do this week’s edition of Technicolour Dreaming, but fellow 3D Radio announcer Bryan, of Tuesday morning’s great “Mellowscream” show, dropped into the control console and saved the day! Following the Cat & Brat show guidelines [psych, garage, surf, punk, pop, glam etc ...] was no stretch as these included his faves as well, so we heard a diverse bunch of tunes encompassing all these and more... including three tracks on which Peter Brat played, from a teenage single with Rashamra up to the most recent with the Molting Vultures. Thanks Bryan, much appreciated! So, without further ado....

..... here is the playlist, with some video accompaniment .....

Technicolour Dreaming

As always, we wandered through genres and decades, beginning with an Australian 60’s classic by the Black Diamonds, followed later in the show by an American classic of the same era by the Sonics. We featured an Eno track from his brilliant 1973 debut LP, a fave from Norway’s Deleted Waveform Gatherings, a very cool track from the debut EP by new Adelaide band Fabels and a great version of ‘Holocaust’ by This Mortal Coil featuring Howard Devoto, as well as some Black Hollies, the debut single by French punks Metal Urbain and even a spot of ‘guru-bashing’ from the Beatles, before finishing with Thee Oh Sees, our January “Band of the Month”... all brought to you by the Cat and the Brat on 3D Radio...
