Technicolour Dreaming

It was another stylistic and regional meander this week. Beginning with a spot of late 70’s electronic rock from John Foxx’s Ultravox, Suicide and the original Human League, plus a couple of current Adelaide purveyors of similar ilk, Nekkro-Electro and Radio Spectacular, we then ventured into more psychedelic waters, featuring, amongst others, the Dolly Rocker Movement, Colour TV, the Deaths and a track from the wonderful  new Higher State album. Add some songs from a clutch of new releases including the Molting Vultures, the Hives and Major Tom & the Atoms plus a few 60’s singles from the likes of the Seeds before closing with the final appearance of the Lovetones as our ‘Band of the Month’ and there it is... another edition of  Technicolour Dreaming from the Cat & the Brat.....
