Technicolour Dreaming

Here's the latest batch of tunes from the show - couldn't resist a few old favourites from the likes of The Died Pretty, The Move, Naz Nomad and the Nightmares (an off-shoot from The Damned, while Captain Sensible was having his run of hit singles - far prefer this to "Happy Talk"!), The Seeds, and perennial favourites Vibravoid. Also featured were 2 tracks from the soon-to-be-released Systemaddicts CD, "Broken Hearted on the Nullarbor" (for those not in the know, Nullarbor literally means "no trees", and is an area of desolate desert to the north-west of Adelaide, the band's hometown, which any road-trip to western Australia heads right through the middle of  - a famous spot for cars breaking down!). Anyway, as there are no clips for the tracks played (yet), included at the end of the blog is a little taster of a recent live show - enjoy!

Obscured By...

Featuring The Damned as the psychedelic group Naz Nomad & the Nightmares, from an album purporting to be the soundtrack of a non-existant film.  Also starring a rare orchestrated Fraternity B-side, some Moving Parts and a Radioactive Sandwich.  Ably supported by The Searchers, Nico and rare Australian power pop from the abysmally named but somewhat groovy Beaut.  International stars included Singapore Sling, the Golden Earrings, Pussycat and the interestingly named Ladies WC.  All this and more, produced by Michael Hunter, Cat & Brat dot dot dot.
