Technicolour Dreaming

It was Bastille Day this week, so we played a set featuring a selection of French artists, from the 60’s to now, ranging from Philippe Nicaud to Blondi’s Salvation, to honour “La Révolution française” and, well, because we like French psychedelia and any excuse to play some more will be taken! Also today we premiered our new “Band of the Week” feature, where we will be playing a few songs from whoever has taken our fancy in the lead-up to the show... it could be an older band or, probably more often, a current band or artist who has grabbed our attention, such as our debut selection, Los Angeles’ Mystic Braves, whose new “Desert Island” album has hardly been off our stereo since it arrived! If you like catchy, reverb-rich garage-psych [with great 60’s organ washes!] we think you’ll agree that it’s a winner! Also on the show were new singles from TD fave Beaulieu Porch and the UK’s Invisible Ships, plus, from local heroes Brillig, a new 3-track single which at last includes their version of the classic “Bang Bang”, a show-stopper in their live set for many years but never before available on record – brilliant! And if you are in Adelaide, Brillig are launching it this Sunday, the 20^th of July, at the Grace Emily Hotel – the place to be this weekend! Of course there was much more, including cuts from the Triptides, Brazil’s Felipe Arcazas and the latest Brian Jonestown Massacre release, before finishing with a long track, a collaboration between MMOSS and Quilt, to bid you “adieu” until next week.....

Naturally there was also a selection of 60’s goodies from Colours, Fleurs de Lys, the Executives and a few French ‘exotiques’ from the likes of Michel Polnareff and les Gypsys. Throw in some Luck of Eden Hall, White Fence, Sand Pebbles amongst others and it’s another sonic adventure with the Cat & the Brat on 3D Radio......
