Technicolour Dreaming

This week we had another of those ‘surprise guests’ that join us occasionally... Sam from Subtract-S dropped their hot-off-the-presses EP into the 3D Radio studios during the show, so we naturally asked him to stay for a short chat... Subtract-S comprises ¾ of the now-defunct Almost Numan, whose sole album is a Cat & Brat fave, so we were keen to learn about the new band, inform our listeners about upcoming live shows and hear their debut CD, all of which Sam was happy to do... and much jollity ensued! Of course we also played a myriad of diverse tunes, ranging from the Sand Pebbles through to Earthless [who are coming to town on December 9^th], a rare Luke Haines track and a song from Lothar & the Hand People’s 1968 debut LP. We featured a Bowie cover from both Brillig, our current ‘Band of the Month’ [joined on this occasion by the lovely LeighStarDust], and another from the Barbarellatones before finishing with the Triffids from their 1984 EP...
