Technicolour Dreaming

Bryan was the show’s host this week and he certainly found some very cool sounds to play, including a song from the debut EP by a great new Adelaide band Horror My Friend, a live recording from 3D Radio’s ‘Sound Lounge’ show by the Aves and, from the 1990s, a Lou Reed track plus one by local punks the Crazies. There were a bunch of 60’s treats from the likes of the Electric Prunes and the Atlantics,  the debut single by the Zoot and plus one from the Sonics, whose gig here this year is eagerly awaited... we’ll keep you updated on that one! He also featured the surf sounds of the Beach Chromers and Cosmic Bikini as well as a few punk classics from, amongst others, the Adverts, Patti Smith and Wire... he also played a track from new Melbourne band Wolfy and the Batcubs, whose recent show here rocked! And of course, he finished with another band whose gig here has also been eagerly awaited, Thee Oh Sees, our current “Band of the Month”... all of this and more on Technicolour Dreaming! Thanx Bryan!

Technicolour Dreaming

The Cat and the Brat were back again this week, with both new and old favourites... Amongst the Australian selection, we played a track from the re-issue of the Reels classic 1979 album “Quasimodo’s Dream”, some Screaming Tribesmen and a Ray Brown and Moonstone psych gem, plus hometown tracks from Roo Shooter and Isolation Valve. We visited Peter Sellers’ movie The Party via the Wondermints, went to 70’s UK with the Normal, went Scandinavian with Serena Maneesh, revisited a Canadian deejay’s 1965 bogus band doing ‘Like a Dribbling Fram’ and checked out, from the 60’s, the Knack (same label but no relation)... And we finished with ‘DieselWitch Will Kill You’, our new ‘Album of the Month’, by local surf/garage heroes DieselWitch...
