Technicolour Dreaming

For one week only, "Obscured By..." alumni Michael Hunter filled in for Technicolour Dreaming.  Unsurprisingly, a few obscurities therefore surfaced such as the completely unknown Australian band Melody Mae, and Adam & The Ants' cover of a Village People song! Some sad RIPs were also acknowledged for Gulliver Smith and John McInerney (both from classic Australian 70s band Company Caine), and Jim Keays' excellent new, posthumous album, chok full of garage classics.

New psych-folk-rock from Trembling Bells and Wand also merged with 70s jazz rock fusion from Mackenzie Theory, and it all made sense, in a Technicolour Dreaming kind of way!

Technicolour Dreaming

Trawling through the 3D Radio library’s “new releases” section provided us with a huge pile of music to add to the already large stack we’d chosen to bring in, way too much for just one show, so we cherry-picked, but just had to start with the insidiously catchy pre-release single from the upcoming new Jim Jones Revue album. From there, it went all over the place... from Geelong we played a track by the Citradels, from the Central Coast of NSW we heard the Mandelas, all the way from San Diego some psychedelic grooviness courtesy of the Koolaid Electric Company, from England came the title track from the debut LP by the Galileo 7 and from here in Adelaide, the True Detective and a demo from Rocket Frog. Throw in a variety of styles and sounds, including the psych drone of Lumerians and Crystal Stilts, both from the USA circa 2011, plus our current Band of the Month, Adelaide’s own Ride Into The Sun, and it was another edition of Technicolour Dreaming, done and dusted.....
