Firstly we’d
like to begin by saying congratulations to Cat &
Brat faves, Chicago’s the Luck of Eden Hall,
for achieving their Kickstarter campaign to
raise over $14,000 to help pay for their tour of the UK and Europe later this
year. They had the bookings but not much cash so we are pleased to announce that
Curvey and his merry band of psychsters
achieved their goal – they are still ‘travelling
on the cheap’ so it gives some
idea of the logistics and cost of a relatively small band to take their music
overseas..... there are many Australian musicians who can no doubt relate.
Anyway, we wish this very cool band all the best and so just had to play a
track from their most recent LP, “Victoria Moon”.
We did get a bit nostalgic on this show and played some older tracks by a few
of our favourite bands, such as Temples, All Night Radio, Dark
Ocean Colors and the Dandelion, as
well as recent ones from the likes of the Black
Ryder, Moon Duo and Melbourne’s Ben Mason. The 60’s were not forgotten either,
with songs from the Rolling Stones and Mike Furber leading up to our compilation of the
week, “Psychedelia : an herbal mixture of psychedelic remedies and freakbeat fantoms”,
a 5-CD boxset of rarities from that era. Four of the sides were originally
issued on vinyl in the 1990s by the UK’s “Tiny Alice” label with the fifth being the
intended but unreleased final release – now it’s a CD boxset compilation and a
great find if you are into late-60’s pop-psych rarities from Europe and the UK. So,
until next week, we bid you “adieu”.....
