Obscured By...

After our regular opening set of Australian rarities, which included a couple of songs from the ‘Big Beat Cellar Scene’ compilation of Adelaide 60’s obscurities which came out in 2010, plus a Janice Slater track from a very rare promotional EP for legendary Adelaide club “Big Daddy’s”, we cast our net worldwide for tracks from that era and brought you gems from acts such as Venezuela’s Ladies W.C. and Germany’s Wolfgang Dauner Quintet. Having procured a DVD copy of the classic 80’s music film “Urgh. A Music War” over the holiday break, we felt the urge to play a couple of tracks from it, including one by Magazine, which then led us to first playing a song from their new album, ”No Thyself”, their first in 30 years... irresistible! We randomly selected bands from the huge 3D Radio library featuring D in our regular ‘Letter of the Week’ segment, which gave us our first opportunity to play a song by Doris Day (a double D no less!), played some demos, including one by Adelaide’s U-Bombs, plus a single by the She Creatures, an all-girl, all-blue band allegedly from the planet Venus... the clip of whom you can see for yourself below...  and then continued our tribute to the ‘Boxset’ format by featuring some unreleased 60’s tracks from the classic Rubble series. All this and much more on this week’s Obscured by... brought to you by yet another combo of ‘DOTS’, this time Michael Hunter and Peter Brat.....
