Technicolour Dreaming

A diverse range of bands from round the world - Chile, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia and the Netherlands - found their way onto the Technicolour Dreaming playlist this week, but then again, that’s nothing unusual! This was really a show of old favourites, both Harry’s and The Cat’s, and one of those particular favourites is Adelaide stalwarts, the Molting Vultures, who are playing one of their infrequent gigs at the Grace Emily this Saturday night 26th September, and bringing with them Melbourne’s rock’n’roll garage swamp-meisters Red Motors, - so don’t miss it!!

Technicolour Dreaming

The Brat was ‘flying solo’ for this edition of Technicolour Dreaming, but was not alone in the 3D studio... Seth Sutton from the USA, who records under the banner of Useless Eaters, plus Jack Petty, a member of his touring band, were guest DJs on this week’s show, prior to their gig later that night at the Metro. They came armed with a large box of vinyl to plunder, including  Useless Eaters latest 7”, a Viva la American Death Ray song, a reissue of Figure of Light’s 1972 single, classics from God and the Pretty Things and lots more... plus we spun Adelaide bands Rule of Thirds and Big Richard Insect, who were playing the Metro show as well... Also featured this week were a few of the current wave of American garage/psych purveyors such as Moon Duo, Lumerians and Ty Segall, before we ended with local outfit Brillig, our current “Band of the Month”. So a good time was had by all... but I do hope the Cat returns to the airwaves next week!
