Technicolour Dreaming

Here's the latest batch of tunes from the show - couldn't resist a few old favourites from the likes of The Died Pretty, The Move, Naz Nomad and the Nightmares (an off-shoot from The Damned, while Captain Sensible was having his run of hit singles - far prefer this to "Happy Talk"!), The Seeds, and perennial favourites Vibravoid. Also featured were 2 tracks from the soon-to-be-released Systemaddicts CD, "Broken Hearted on the Nullarbor" (for those not in the know, Nullarbor literally means "no trees", and is an area of desolate desert to the north-west of Adelaide, the band's hometown, which any road-trip to western Australia heads right through the middle of  - a famous spot for cars breaking down!). Anyway, as there are no clips for the tracks played (yet), included at the end of the blog is a little taster of a recent live show - enjoy!

...and here's the playlist, with associated visuals...(and I've given up on trying to fix all the different font sizes - it's driving me mad!!!)

Technicolour Dreaming

On this, the third-to-last show of 2014, our choice for “Band of the Week” was Denmark’s Halasan Bazar, who regular listeners will recognise from previous shows – we do play them a lot, but for good reason – just listen to their music and you’ll surely become a fan! We first discovered them though through their collaboration with France’s Tara King th. – another Cat & Brat fave – on the “8” album, released through their common  label, California’s Moon Glyph Records, and worked back from there to their earlier releases – great stuff! During the rest of the programme, we did play a few new releases, such as tracks from Ty Segall’s “$ingle$ 2” anthology and Los Trasgos Muertos’ new EP, but the bulk of the show featured some of our faves of this year, such as Balduin, les Limiñanas, the Chemistry Set and Southern Boutique, as well as a number of older releases which we discovered [or rediscovered] this year, such as Slight, the Rain Parade and Morgen. It’s been a great year for psychedelia and we look forward to the next two shows, when we’ll feature our picks for “best LP/single/band/etc of 2014” amongst all our other favourites of the year [and beyond!]! It should be fun, so tune in to 3D Radio and join us.....

Technicolour Dreaming

Another eclectic show which wandered from our opening song by July from their 1968 LP through to the1978 debut EP by Brisbane  legends the Riptides, onto a song put out by the Mysterion Art Factory by Idaho Nash featuring a faux-Dylan video clip, a brilliant pairing of Danish outfit Halasan Bazar with French popsters Tara King th. through to a 1985 version of “Lucifer Sam” by Adelaide band, the Spikes, with some Gene Clark, Beach House and Scott Walker added to the mix, amongst others. And we remained in Europe for our latest “Band of the Week” – specifically les Limiñanas who hail from Perpignan, France. We’ve been hailing their virtues for quite some time now, playing tracks from all three of their albums plus the occasional 7”single and so we were pleased to see a new ‘rarities’ anthology released by the excellent US label “Trouble In Mind”, and even happier when our own copy arrived in the mailbox! If you haven’t discovered the delights of les Limiñanas thus far [and it’s a mystery of the modern world as to why this band is not yet huge! ] this new compilation is as good as anywhere to start... you won’t regret it! So, until the next edition, this is the Cat and the Brat signing off.....
