Technicolour Dreaming

This week’s show once again delivered a diverse listening experience, ranging from the ‘comedic goth’[?] of the Scary Bitches and the ‘psychedelic poetry’ of 60’s US radio host Dave Diamond with the Higher Elevation, to the instant pop catchiness of the Merry-Go-Round and the 80’s Aussie punk attitude of the Hitmen. Then there were the playboys – the James Bond twang of 60’s instrumentalists and Normie Rowe backing band, the Playboys, and the garage grit of current Australian rockers, the Intercontinental Playboys. We also heard the woozy stirrings of Beach House and the latest demo from Adelaide’s All The Leaves Have Fallen as well as a few covers from the likes of Ashram Poets, the Brood and the She Creatures, finishing with our current “Band of the Month”, the awesome Thee Oh Sees... all brought to you by a solo Peter Brat.....
