technicolour dreaming

Another show, another Dream... this week courtesy of 3D Radio compadre Bryan! Beginning with a blast of the psychedelic from the Asteroid Belt through some 80’s Melbourne psychobilly from the Corpse Grinders onto the black leather glam of classic Suzi Quatro and the whirling acid folk of Circulus, he played a mass of good music from all over, including a number of songs from various Adelaide bands and performers such as Kamikaze, Van Cleef and the mandolin strum of Madeline Hudson plus others from around the world, such as the Apricot from Norway, the UK’s Terry Edwards and Dark Ocean Colors from the USA, before finishing with the Zoot, our current “Band of the Month”... a great show. Thanx Bryan!

Technicolour Dreaming

Bryan was the show’s host this week and he certainly found some very cool sounds to play, including a song from the debut EP by a great new Adelaide band Horror My Friend, a live recording from 3D Radio’s ‘Sound Lounge’ show by the Aves and, from the 1990s, a Lou Reed track plus one by local punks the Crazies. There were a bunch of 60’s treats from the likes of the Electric Prunes and the Atlantics,  the debut single by the Zoot and plus one from the Sonics, whose gig here this year is eagerly awaited... we’ll keep you updated on that one! He also featured the surf sounds of the Beach Chromers and Cosmic Bikini as well as a few punk classics from, amongst others, the Adverts, Patti Smith and Wire... he also played a track from new Melbourne band Wolfy and the Batcubs, whose recent show here rocked! And of course, he finished with another band whose gig here has also been eagerly awaited, Thee Oh Sees, our current “Band of the Month”... all of this and more on Technicolour Dreaming! Thanx Bryan!

Technicolour Dreaming

For the final show for 2011 we played a selection of our favourite music, new and old... pretty much your regular Technicolour Dreaming really! We roamed from the new Horrors album to the debut from Adelaide’s Systemaddicts, from the psychedelic harmonies of Mikal Cronin to the garage brilliance of Clinic and from a Rolling Stones gem to a great version of a ‘wormy’ classic by Adelaide’s brillig. We also paid tribute to the late Sean Bonniwell... the Music Machine were one of the great bands of the 60’s, precursors of punk dressed in black and leather, who did the ‘one-gloved-hand’ thing way before that Jackson guy! We also featured a track from our newest boxset (though it was released in 2009)... a very groovy collection by the Dukes of Stratosphear [i.e. XTC in psychedelic disguise] packaged in purple velour and including a jigsaw puzzle... what better holiday gift could we get ourselves! And in finishing with the last pick from the current “band of the month”, Paul Revere and the Raiders, we bid our listeners/readers [i.e. YOU] a “Happy New Year” and we look forward to bringing you more great music in 2012...
