Sitars, theremin and mellotron, backwards guitar, phasing and fuzz, fringes and mohawks, paisley, black, velvet and leather, feedback, bass and drone, beads, berets and safety-pins, Shindig! and Creem, 3 chord wonders, teenage symphonies and snarl, Rickenbacker, Farfisa and 4-track recorders... onstage at CBGB's, Max's Kansas City or the Trip, the Roundhouse, the 100 Club or the Crystal Ballroom, Catcher's, Big Daddy's or the Squatters Arms.... and the Cat and the Brat on 3D Radio!
Three D Radio announcer, MeganCat (up until recently with her husband, the late Peter Brat)lives in "The BratHaus" a rural seaside home about 100km from Adelaide on South Australia's scenic Fleurieu Peninsula. Veteran musician Peter, and artist/musician Megan, were long-time DJs onThree D Radio 93.7fm, Adelaide's eclectic independent music station. Together Peter & Megan, known as "The Cat and The Brat" created this blog to allow listeners to review the playlists of their radio show, "Technicolour Dreaming", watch clips of selected songs and simply join them in the enjoyment of their favourite music... psychedelia, 60's garage, surf, punk/post-punk, pop, folk-rock, glam, 'Krautrock', goth, 80's electro... and much more!
But The Cat is carrying on the tradition, with guest co-presenters, and "Technicolour Dreaming" will continue in the same format, drawing from the huge "Cat & Brat" music collection, with the addition of new releases and reissues to keep things current. The Brat is hugely missed, but the show must go on, as he wanted...

It seems that 2007 was a good year for Australian compilations, seeing the release of the excellent "Tomorrow is Today - A Tribute to the Australian Psychedelic Scene 1966-1970", as well as Off The Hip's "Burn Your Fingers on The Sun", both of which are well worth tracking down if you can find a copy. I featured tracks from both comps, as well as Ty Segall's new release "Emotional Mugger", a few classics from the late 60's, and some more recent Australian efforts, plus quite a few cover versions....

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! ...and here's the playlist, with associated visuals...(and I've given up on trying to fix all the different font sizes - it's driving me mad!!!)

It is
appropriate that this edition’s Compilation of the Week
is the 2014 Electric Sound Show 5-CD box-set,
a series that describes itself as ‘An Assortment of
Antiquities for the Psychedelic Connoisseur’, which, in part, is what we
aim to play for our listeners each week, along with more recent releases we pick from the current
psychedelic outpouring and its 20th century predeccessors! It
has a slightly murky history (you try getting any CONSISTENT, accurate
information about this series on the internet!) with the first
instalment of the original vinyl series, the “We
All Live On Candy Green” LP, put out by Soundshow
Records in 2004, followed by “In King
Solomon’s Minds” in 2010. The next LP was “Apricot
Hash in the Hourglass” in
2011, “Paper Thoughts of Polly Pan” (2013)
and finishing with “Green Eyed Gods of Smoke” (also
2013). The set covers rare 60’s psychedelia from Britain and the USA,
plus what is variously described as ‘Pop-Psych’, ‘Mindblowing Nuggets’ and
‘Heavy Psychedelic Stoners’ from the rest of the world. The limited edition 5CD
box set released by ParticlesRecords that is our particular focus this week is
based on the original vinyl albums, but with some different tracks to confuse
the issue.... whatever, it is a great boxset, and deserved its place as
our feature. Another highlight was a rare interview with Nickof Adelaide’s Molting Vultures... much merriment ensued as he
regaled us with tales of the music scene in Melbourne where he now resides. This
move several years ago means however that the Molting
Vultures now only play occasionally in either city, but have a great
turnout of loyal garage-psych aficionados whenever they appear and hopefully a
new album release will also ensue in the not too distant future with Nick promising he has some new songs ready for the
band to develop. For the rest of our playlist simply see below, and so until
next Tuesday, between 2
and 4pm (Central Australian Time)
on 3D Radio, we bid you “adieu”.....
......
and here’s the complete song-list, including some associated clips, including scenes from the Cat & Brat's wedding performance of 'Life On The Dole' with the Molting Vultures, the complete Andy Warhol tribute, “Songs for Drella”, played
live in 1990 by John Cale and Lou Reed, plus an episode of Julian Cope's "Modern Antiquarian" TV show..... Enjoy!!

This week’s show featured a journey
around the current world of psychedelia,
plus assorted oddities and a side-trip back in time to the first pop psych
explosion. So much music to play, and only two hours each week to squeeze it
all into! We recently acquired a copy of the brand new addition to Born Bad Records’ wonderful “Wizzz!Psychorama francais 1966
– 71” compilations, Volume 3, making this series a serendipitous
choice for our Compilation of the Week, mais oui! Back in the present, we
played new tracks from the Wands, Pretty Lightning, Jacco
Gardner, the Noble Krell and the Barbarellatones latest demo (love the lyrics!),
fitted in some surf from Chile and Denmark, and some 60’s faves such as Gary Walker and the Rain’s much covered classic, “Francis”. And we finished up with Vibravoid’s ode to the Fuzztones organ player Deb
O’Nair, which can be found on the just-reissued and re-mastered edition
of their classic “2001” LP, complete with extra tracks and quite stunning packaging
– it certainly gets our seal of approval! So.....
..... until next week, here
is the playlist plus associated visuals.....
