About Me

My photo
2023 book THERE HE GOES WITH HIS EYE OUT (lyrics 1980-2023) 2023 reissue Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes Night Of The Wolverine. Double vinyl release. 2023 ROCK album with Clare Moore IN A MISTLY . WORKSHY - 2017 memoir out on Affirm Press. Available at shows or via website. Moodists - Coral Snakes - mistLY. I don’t know what I am and don’t want to know any more than I already know. I aspire, in my music , to 40s B Movie (voice and presence) and wish I could play guitar like Dickey Betts, John Cippolina or Grant Green - but not in this lifetime, I know.

Harry Howard and the NDE Euro dates. Graney and Moore in London , Berlin and Paris. Other links and clips.

The FEARFUL WIGGINGS tour has been quite extensive, though we have yet to make it to WA or to Tasmania. In time.
There was no real concept or idea other than to play the music from the album, as if we were IN CONCERT, no matter where we were setting up. Also, there were no real rave up songs with drums on the album so Clare Moore was on keys and percussion for the most part, though she improvised a bass drum ( with a snare case) and sometimes had both a snare and a ride cymbal.

Thanks to Barry C Douglas for this clip of the last stop on the tour- the Northcote Social Club in Melbourne on a  Sunday afternoon.




Stu Perera's solo on that track is the best! Clare also shifts between organ, percussion and a backbeat. Stu Thomas on his Burns Baritone as bass.

Did many other interesting musical things during the year too. Such as this Lou Reed tribute at RRR performance space. I screwed up the lyrics a bit. (Was perfect at soundcheck a half hour before). The strings were arranged by Bronwyn Henderson from the SPOILS.




 I also sang "Charleys Girl" from Coney Island Baby.

We'd started the year in Geelong. Outside. In the cold. In the street. I was getting used to my new OLD Ibanez jazz box. Thanks again to Barry for capturing it. We played THE SHERIFF OF HELL as a trio.



Had a great time playing in off the wall, off Broadway kinds of places where people have set up their own situations to listen to music. Hospitality school graduate run rock venues are the worst. I mean places where food and security comes first and music last. Screw you guys!

Also, look out for DAVE GRANEY DAY on Basic fm out of the UK. A digital station. 24 hrs of Dave Graney music! September 30th is the day.

And this great story Chris Hollow wrote about Tony Mahonys work on all our imagery for 22 years. Its just been put up on the Double J site. Chris did the interview and wrote it up about three months ago, as we were heading out on these dates.

Dave Graney and Clare Moore with Robin Casinader - In Concert

ONE MILLION YEARS DC

Starts with a Kinksy groover sketching a 21st century populist tyrant who coasts in power on waves of public resentment at those on the lowest rungs of the ladder (He Was A Sore Winner). Sweeps across a sci fi terrain with nods to songs in the sand at the end of the world (Pop Ruins) and nods to the ties that bind in the underground communities (Comrade Of Pop and Where Did All The Freaks Go?). Songs about intense, long relationships, defunct technology that didn’t answer back, severe social status definition (I’m Not Just Any Nobody), people wandering through your mind as if it was a garage sale, the anxiety of the long running showman (wide open to the elements again) and ends with a song that’s “a little bit Merle Haggard and a little bit Samuel Beckett”. " Edith Grove! Powis Square! 56 Hope Road! Petrie Terrace!.. The Roxy! The Odeon! Apollo! Palais! Olympia! The Whisky! Detroit Grande!” Pop Ruins!"

ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS?

ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS? (The title comes from the chorus of “Song Of Life” ) is a classic rock’n’roll album. Classic if you lived through what has become known as ”the classic rock era” as it rolled out new and even broke onto the beachhead and morphed into punk. That’s the direction Dave Graney and Clare Moore have always been coming from. They have spent their lives schooled by and immersed in rock ‘n’ roll culture. Neither attended higher education and they dived in deep and kept swimming. From the Moodists through the Coral Snakes /White Buffaloes to the mistLY This is an album with their band, Dave Graney and the mistLY. Stuart Perera has played guitar with them since 1998 and Stu Thomas on bass since 2004. MARCH 2019 ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS? 2019 album out on Compact Disc - available here via mail order...

FEARFUL WIGGINGS

2014 solo album from Dave Graney. *****"If I've learnt anything in my years of writing about music it's that if you are going to do anything of worth in this tough game, you better have your own thing. Today's generic is easily replaced by tomorrow's. And yet you need to be flexible, to follow wherever the songs demand. In the case of this, only the second credited as a solo album among 30 or so Graney releases, it's a curious yet welcoming lane he walks you down, with acoustic guitars, not much percussion, vibes, smooth sounds. At the end of it you feel like you've awoken from a strange yet pleasant summer's dream. As shot by Luis Bunuel. It ranges from off-kilter reveries (A Woman Skinnies Up a Man, The Old Docklands Wheel) through to the softly seductive (How Can You Get Out of London) and the downright arch (Look Into My Shades, Everything Is Great In The Beginning.) This is music that is neither folk, nor blues, nor country, but it's all Graney, somewhere out to the left field beyond Lee Hazlewood's raised eyebrow. It's astringent on the tongue but sweetens in the telling." Noel Mengel Brisbane Courier Mail
