Technicolour Dreaming

As our nod to the holiday season, we thought we’d feature a pile of songs about ‘The Trip’, and as you can imagine, there was no shortage to choose from... from Dr Timothy Leary to Kim Fowley, with Dantalion’s Chariot, the Intercontinental Playboys and Bobby and Laurie thrown in as a tongue in cheek warning against the perils of travelling.  For this penultimate show of the year, we also played a slew of Cat and Brat favourites including Black Cab, Black Mountain, the soon-to-be-touring Australia Thee Oh Sees and Sun Araw, and Canada’s Andrew Douglas Rothbard...  and of course, another pick from our “Band of the Month”, 60’s hit makers Paul Revere and the Raiders...
