Again there were 3 DOTS to curate the show, which began as always with a
selection of Australian-related songs, paying tribute to Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees
and Mal McGhee
of the Wild Cherries,
Python Lee
Jackson et al, who both passed away this week. There was also a
selection of Adelaide rarities, including tracks by 80’s bands Toyland and
the Iguana Twins,
both featuring Annalisa
Vague-Hope on vocals, a single from Adelaide footballer Graham Cornes
[co-written by the
Mixtures’
Evan Jones],
plus a track from the Esperanto Rock Orchestra LP of 1973. Add to
that a strange group of cover versions by artists with provenance unknown [except
perhaps country of origin], finish with Nico and some very cool French 60’s pop [including
a favourite from Brigitte
Bardot] and you have another edition of what we like to refer to as
“Obscured by...”!

Thanks guys for playing Toyland again & The Iguana Twins. This time I got to hear it in full for the 1st time in about 30 years. Love the chorus, it didn't disappoint. Keep up the great work. Cheers Jon
