Technicolour Dreaming

We began this week’s show with the debut single by Television, which was released on their manager Terry Ork’s own ORK label in 1975, before rewinding to the 1960’s with songs from such luminaries as the Standells, the Masters Apprentices, the Twilights, the Velvet Underground and the Zakary Thaks, whose documentary we’ve included for your viewing edification. We dug out some vinyl including the classic 7” by Pineapples From The Dawn Of Time, a 1985 single from German band the Nirvana Devils, a Joe South cover by the Black Hollies plus a scuba favourite from the Revillos. To round it all out, there was some surf music from Canberra’s Space Party and psych from the Black Angels and DeWolff, before we finished the show on a glamorous note with our latest “Band of the Month”, the Barbarellatones..... all brought to you by your hosts, the Cat and the Brat.....
