Three D Radio announcer, Megan Cat (up until recently with her husband, the late Peter Brat) lives in "The BratHaus" a rural seaside home about 100km from Adelaide on South Australia's scenic Fleurieu Peninsula.
Veteran musician Peter, and artist/musician Megan, were long-time DJs on Three D Radio 93.7fm
, Adelaide's eclectic independent music station.
Together Peter & Megan, known as "The Cat and The Brat" created this blog to allow listeners to review the playlists of their radio show, "Technicolour Dreaming" , watch clips of selected songs and simply join them in the enjoyment of their favourite music... psychedelia, 60's garage,
surf, punk/post-punk, pop, folk-rock, glam, 'Krautrock', goth, 80's electro... and much more!
But The Cat is carrying on the tradition, with guest co-presenters, and "Technicolour Dreaming" will continue in the same format, drawing from the huge "Cat & Brat" music collection, with the addition of new releases and reissues to keep things current. The Brat is hugely missed, but the show must go on, as he wanted...

Obscured By... April 12th, 2011

It was a briefer version of “Obscured by...” this week, with guest ‘dots’ Rodney & Jude, followed by Talbot Duckmanton, filling in until the very late arrival of regular ‘dot’, Peter Brat. But nonetheless, obscurities were still shown the light of day as usual... from the 1979 Australian single by Johnny Topper & His Beatnik Buddies to late 60s French psych band Dickens through demos by Adelaide bands, the Bad Poets and the U-Bombs, from the punk era, as well as classics by Mike Furber, the Leaves, the Rising Sons and Tony Worsley from 1965/66, it was again an eclectic show!
