Technicolour Dreaming

We went from Perth, Australia and Copenhagen, Denmark in 2014 back through to mid-60’s Los Angeles and many points in between on this week’s show, including new tracks from Mt Mountain, Chad & the Meatbodies, the Allah-Las and Paul Messis plus some older faves from Devo, Sun Dial and the Zombies. Our “Band of the Week” feature highlighted Finnish psychedelecists Octopus Syng who first came to our attention via songs on various Fruits de Mer label compilations and have now released their new album, “Reverberating Garden Number 7”, on Mega Dodo, another fine independent UK label. Then, topically, there were songs from both the Ukraine and Russia, by Ummagma and Polska Radio One respectively. So, until next week.....
