Technicolour Dreaming

It’s the 1^st show of the year and we had a large pile of new vinyl and CDs to play and thus begin as we intend to go on..... with a “kerrang”, as it were! Apart from all the formerly forgotten ‘lost’ classics from the past that are again seeing the light of day and finding appreciative audiences due to the dedication of ‘re-issue’ labels making them affordable again rather than just the preserve of a few well-heeled ‘collectors’, there is a rising swell of new, young bands from all over the world who are building on these roots and creating a plethora of new psychedelic sounds – 2014 promises to be another interesting year for psychedelia and associated sounds! So, without further ado.....
