Technicolour Dreaming

The psych-pop classic “We Love You” by the Rolling Stones, with Brian Jones on mellotron and Lennon & McCartney on backing vocals, began today’s edition of Technicolour Dreaming, while, with ‘The Seeker’ from their debut EP, the Sunnyboys, in their last appearance as our “band of the month”, finished it. In between, we played a cut from the soon-to-be-released debut album by the Laurels, recent releases from bands such as Thee American Revolution, Love Parade and Them Plasms, a song from a Brian Eno’s ‘Another Green World’, a track from Paul McCartney’s debut solo album featuring his first recorded duet with Linda, a version of “The Saint” theme by a UK band found on a compilation of instrumentals supposedly from behind ‘the Iron Curtain’ [?], a Ray Davies song given the Redd Kross treatment, the brilliantly-named ‘Krome Plated Yabby’ 1967 single from Australia’s own Wild Cherries and the Count Five’s ‘Psychotic Reaction’, plus much more... all brought to you once more by the Cat & the Brat on 3D Radio 93.7fm.....

      # “Band of the Month”

Technicolour Dreaming - 20th April 2011

Peter Brat here... I hosted this week’s show without the help of my Cat, and so started with Patti Smith’s “Ain’t It Strange” which summed it up! However I played one of her (and my) fave current bands, the Sand Pebbles plus her favourite Models’ song, knowing she was listening in... The show wandered, as is our wont, from the Australian 60s psychedelia of the Dave Miller Set, through the Swedish 80s garage rock of the Wylde Mammoths, to the 21^st century sounds of the Telescopes, Death In June, Black Box Recorder and Adelaide’s Green Circles... plus of course this week’s Monkees song and another track from our album of the month, Moon Duo’s “Mazes”...
