Technicolour Dreaming

The Cat and the Brat were back again this week, with both new and old favourites... Amongst the Australian selection, we played a track from the re-issue of the Reels classic 1979 album “Quasimodo’s Dream”, some Screaming Tribesmen and a Ray Brown and Moonstone psych gem, plus hometown tracks from Roo Shooter and Isolation Valve. We visited Peter Sellers’ movie The Party via the Wondermints, went to 70’s UK with the Normal, went Scandinavian with Serena Maneesh, revisited a Canadian deejay’s 1965 bogus band doing ‘Like a Dribbling Fram’ and checked out, from the 60’s, the Knack (same label but no relation)... And we finished with ‘DieselWitch Will Kill You’, our new ‘Album of the Month’, by local surf/garage heroes DieselWitch...
