Technicolour Dreaming

Some old 60's Aussie favourites, a few new discoveries, and the usual suspects - this week's show had it all. I particularly liked the track by Sir Robin and the Longbowmen, who hail from Dresden in Germany - can't believe that I hadn't come across this band before! Somehow I also managed to miss the latest release from The Selfish Cales, which came out last year - more psych goodness from these natives of Torino, Italy. Speaking of which, I've also included (at the end of the blog) a groovy promo clip that I came across, of the 2014 Psych Out 25 Degrees festival in Italy - the things you find on YouTube. Enjoy!
