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.

I'm A Good Hater - February release at itunes and Bandcamp.

I'm A Good Hater was cooked up at our  Ponderosa Studio in the hills on the outer edge of Melbourne in early January 2016. That's me and Clare Moore.

I was at a  party late last year and a friend turned to me and said "You're a good hater, Dave!"
When a  friend says something, I thought, it must be true...

I'm A Good Hater is a positively, gleeful yet POISONOUS brag about HATING on something or someone. Hard. But Fair.


  
The singer says he's "a rank detester/ a super loather/ a champion raspberry blower/ a righteous disliker...."

Driving acoustic guitar, synth bass, tambourine, wah wah, handclaps and more synth lay down the texture and the tarmac for the singer to stroll out on. He's "a good hater/one of the best, I've heard/ from someone who says they should know..."



Released Feb 18th on itunes and now at Bandcamp, the first of many single tracks to come out in 2016. The next will be out in early March.


I'm A Good Hater.  From Dave Graney, written, performed and recorded by Dave Graney and Clare Moore.

LYRICS


I'm a good hater, I've been told
a real alligator
a smiling assassinator
a cold potato
I'm a good hater

revenge is a pie flying towards your face in super slow motion

I wanna do you slowly
you keep hangin' 'round
I hooked you in
I'm a good hater
one of the best I've heard
from someone who said they should know
you can depend on me

a ranked detester
a super loather
a champion raspberry blower
a righteous disliker
I got my wings and bars
I'm a made guy - officer class

got it goin' on
poison workin; while I sleep
I'll take my time
then one day at the bust stop I'll turn and smash ya

I'll stew on you
I'll brood on you
I like a familar groove
I'm a good hater
a great conflater

I'm the best detester
you screwed up Hazel, when you crossed me
you're in the red
I'm counting
you're carried over
I was open
you swung

I got legs
I got reach
I'm a good hater
a real alligator
a smiling assassinator
a cold potato

a ranked detester
a super loather
a champion raspberry blower
a righteous disliker
I got my wings and bars
I'm a made guy - officer class

I'm a good hater
a real alligator
a smiling assassinator
a cold potato

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
