Technicolour Dreaming

As always, the music this week ranged far & wide.... through tracks by the likes of Billy Nicholls and ? and the Mysterians from five decades ago, via Truth [a late incarnation of Them], Roxy Music, Dog Age and Galaxie 500 in the succeeding years, to the latest releases of Doug Tuttle and the Citradels, and scattered across both hemispheres, from the northern climes of Iceland, the abode of the Dandelion Seeds, to the southern reaches of Tasmania, from whence come the Green Mist. Whenever or wherever, we hope you enjoyed the ride.....

Technicolour Dreaming

Sometimes the best-laid plans for a show just disappear once you go to air, which is what happened this week! A phone call from a listener requesting an Atlantics song led us into some 60’s kicks of (primarily) the Australian kind, from Normie Rowe and the Easybeats to the Red Angel Panic and the Hergs amongst others. But different eras and locales were not to be ignored... new music from Canada’s Metz and the UK’s Galileo 7, 80’s singles by the Dentists and Close Lobsters, plus a brand new demo from Adelaide’s Alpha Beta Fox and the return of Go Kart Mozart... most of these were not on our original agenda, but hey, who really wants agendas anyway! The penultimate appearance of Ride Into The Sun as our “Band of the Month” and that was Technicolour Dreaming, and the Cat and the Brat, for another week......
