Technicolour Dreaming

This week, on the stinking-hot first day of autumn, I featured a couple of new releases from the wonderful UK vinyl-only label, Fruits de Mer - Sendelica's sublime, surreal, and lengthy take on Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust", and a track from the new 7" EP from Italian singer-songwriter Claudio Cataldi, "Here She Comes Now". And closer to home, the long-awaited new album from Melbourne's The Citradels, "Are They Still Here?" also got a spin - the band are in the middle of their national tour, and will be playing in Adelaide at The Grace Emily this Friday March 11, so check them out if you get the chance! I'll be chatting with Sunny from The Citradels on the show next week, so tune in - don't forget, you can listen to the live stream of the show by going to www.threedradio.com ...and here's the playlist from the show!
