Technicolour Dreaming

On this, our final show of 2014, we’d hoped to complete our “Best of the Year” picks in the categories of album, single, anthology, re-issue, compilation and boxset, which we started last week.... but because there are so many, we’ll probably be adding some more on our first show of 2015, because it truly was a great year for psychedelia. Indeed the past few years are now being hailed as “the third wave of psychedelia”, with a world-wide upsurge of young [and some not-so-young] musicians re-inventing and experimenting with their influences to make music that is all their own, not just a pale copy of the original 60’s garage/acid-punk/psych template, and a growing audience who are discovering these sounds, past and present, as witnessed by the popularity of “psych fests” around the world, while some bands such as Temples and Ty Segall [coincidentally our “Artiste of the Week”] are even gaining “mainstream” acceptance with commensurate record sales. So 2014 was an exciting year for new psychedelic music, which is reflected in the difficulty we had trying to play all of our favourites, as we mentioned at the start, because there were simply so many brilliant releases.  

So, all the best for 2015 to you from the Cat & the Brat and 3D Radio 93.7fm and let’s see if this “third psychedelic wave” continues to gather force in this coming year....
