Some new, some old, some local, others from....Iceland? Yes, another
trip into the psychedelic, the garage, the punk and even the ‘80’s from anywhere/anytime with the Cat & the Brat on this week’s show. Of particular note were new albums from Clinic, Toy & Melody’s Echo
Chamber – all no doubt will be receiving further examination in weeks
to come! And as today was the birthday for Elvis, Bowie and Dot from Almost Numan, we naturally had to give them a celebratory spin... especially
with the news of a new record from David being imminent at last. On a sadder note, we noted the passing of Lee Dorman, bassist with Iron Butterfly during their prime, so just had
to play a song from their oft-overlooked early period. Throw in a few covers, some ‘previously unreleased’ gems
[including the full version of the theme song from an iconic Australian surf movie], and lots more... and that’s Technicolour Dreaming for another
week! Check out the clips we’ve found,
and dig
in......
