Technicolour Dreaming

We began this week’s show with the debut single by Television, which was released on their manager Terry Ork’s own ORK label in 1975, before rewinding to the 1960’s with songs from such luminaries as the Standells, the Masters Apprentices, the Twilights, the Velvet Underground and the Zakary Thaks, whose documentary we’ve included for your viewing edification. We dug out some vinyl including the classic 7” by Pineapples From The Dawn Of Time, a 1985 single from German band the Nirvana Devils, a Joe South cover by the Black Hollies plus a scuba favourite from the Revillos. To round it all out, there was some surf music from Canberra’s Space Party and psych from the Black Angels and DeWolff, before we finished the show on a glamorous note with our latest “Band of the Month”, the Barbarellatones..... all brought to you by your hosts, the Cat and the Brat.....

Obscured By...

All three ‘DOTS’ were in the studio for this week’s show, which stretched from a rare 1962 New Zealand LP by Peter Posa to a pre-release track from the debut album by English psych band Dewolff, due out soon. Along the way we heard some rare 60’s singles from the likes of 4^th Street Exit, the Zakary Thaks and Melbourne’s Pink Finks, early recordings by the Dots (before they were Paul Kelly and...) plus the Human League, as well as a great version of a Roxy Music classic by ex-members of Christian Death. And finally, we have counted back to A as our ‘Letter of the Week’, thus ending yet another “regular segment”... ahh, what shall we do to replace it? Tune in next week to find out..... heh heh!
