Technicolour Dreaming

It was once again a diverse show this week, with the Cat & the Brat ranging through old favourites such as Iggy & the Stooges, Clinic and Magazine through Adelaide stalwarts the Asteroid Belt and Van Cleef, plus some recent releases from Ty Segall, Crystal Stilts and Maya. We also sadly bid farewell to a couple of our favourite Australian bands, Belles Will Ring and the Amcats, who have both announced their final performances and that they are going on an indefinite hiatus, as well as playing the Dukes of Stratosphear’s final showing as our “Band of the Month”, plus of course, much more, so without further ado.....

Technicolour Dreaming

The Cat and the Brat are back... and thanks to 3D compadre Phil J for filling-in for us again at short notice last week! We devoted half the show to Australian bands this week, beginning with the wonderful Go Go Sapiens from Melbourne, before continuing with acts such as Ride Into The Sun, Thee Wylde Oscars and Love Parade, as well as new local band Summer Flake and fondly-remembered 80’s outfit, Toyland. Spreading out to the rest of the globe, we played new stuff from Gravenhurst and King Tuff, plus a song each from two of this week’s visitors to Adelaide, the Raveonettes and the Brian Jonestown Massacre... and of course there was a track from the Lovetones, our current ‘Band of the Month’! These, and more, and it’s another Technicolour Dreaming for your delectation....
