Obscured By...

 Just two ‘DOTS’ this week - the Cat and the Brat - but still the show explored place and time in the regular manner, ranging from 60’s Australian rarities by the Sect, Daisy Clover and the Others, through local examples of the worldwide impact of punk with Jab, the U-Bombs and Nuvo Bloc, right up to a slab of modern psychedelia from Munich band, Liquid Visions. Along the way we sampled the 80’s Spanish garage of Sex Museum, prog ‘supergroup’ Captain Beyond, some French psych weirdness from Docteur Legume et les Surfwerks and heard the Edgar Broughton Band attempt to exorcise American imperialism from the UK [which got them to #39 on the singles chart!) before witnessing die Sputniks’ surfbeat rising from under the boot of Soviet repression in 60’s East Germany, plus much more... Obscure? oh yeah!
