Technicolour Dreaming

Little ol' Adelaide has quite a musical heritage, which is probably why it was formally recognised by UNESCO in 2015 as a designated "City of Music", and one of only 116 cities around the globe recognised for their musical culture (OK, 116 is actually quite a few...!) So ahead of next week's Radiothon, I played a broad selection of Adelaide bands ranging from the 1960's to 2003, with some more recent examples expected to surface on the show on the 23rd (ie tomorrow). The eagle-eyed amongst you will probably notice that some of the Adelaide video clips don't match the actual song played (as the clips don't exist - yet), but I've included them as an example of the type of music (for strictly historical reasons - of course). And stop the presses, next week will be an extra special, one-off, "Obscured by ... Technicolour" with the inimitable Mr Michael Hunter returning as co-host - expect some, shall we say, unusual music on the Radiothon show. Playlist and video clips? See below...

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....
