Technicolour Dreaming

the Cat and the Brat began this week’s edition of Technicolour Dreaming with Nuvo Bloc, a band that received quite a bit of airplay when 3D Radio (under the moniker of 5MMM) first started broadcasting way back in 1979, and then dropped in a few bands such as Almost Numan and Fluffy who’ve had similar recognition more recently, before finishing the show with the winners of the TOP 101 for 2011, Ride Into The Sun. Along the way, we played some 70’s and 80’s favourites such as Roxy Music, the Associates (featuring the brilliant voice of Billy MacKenzie) and Big Black, as well as some new music from Dewolff and La Bastard, with a sing-a-long from the Rutles thrown in... mainly so we could put up the accompanying clip from their movie..... heh heh!
