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.

PARLOUR SHOWS! Our QLD dates and what we are hoping to do in 2019.

Hey I'm  up for some PARLOUR GIGS. It's a system or portal where you can book artists to come play in your PARLOUR - House - Apartment - Ranch etc.
Click here for more details.



 Our October shows in NSW and Canberra were all packed and so enjoyable. Thanks to everybody who came along in Coogee, Marrickville, Hardys Bay and Canberra. Robin Casinader joined us for the latter and we had a great time. He has been in Melbourne to play his own dates and has one more November 22nd at the Open Studio in High St Northcote.

Smiths Alternative in Canberra Oct 2018

I then did 5 dates in QLD in 3 days with Clare Moore.
Firstly we played at the Bison Bar in nambour, a wonderful venue run by real qualitymusic people. Pete has the fruitiest vinyl record stash that he "djs". Pre breakthrough ABC, RACEY, Nik Krewshaw, Kim Wilde. Pete also plays in the quite briliant SHIFTING SANDS. (There is another SHIFTING SANDS who hail from Dunedin in New Zealand and I got to say they are pretty amazing too).

We did the Bison bar show with Clare on keys and vocals and me on acoustic and electric guitar.

We then did 4pm and 7pm shows at the Junk Bar in Brisbane. Clare borrowed a beautiful set of vibes from Kym who plays in THE VIEW FROMS MADELEINE'S COUCH.

We played a lot of fresh songs and included a Stone's cover (Time Waits For No One) and a Go Betweens one that we'd learned for the recent  16 Lovers Lane show (Twin layers Of Lightning). The latter was fun to do with old friend Robert Forster standing in the room.

Hardys Bay NSW Oct 2018.


Recording and mixing almost completed for the first of two  albums slated for release in 2019.The first off the rank will be a Dave Graney and the mistLY album. Titled ZIP A DEE DOO What Is/Was/That/This?
It features ULTRAKEEF, Is that What You Did?, Where's My Buzz?, Your Masters, Song Of Life, Gloria Grahame (both re-recorded), Baby I Wish I'd been a Better Pop Star and some more surprises.

There will be alternate takes of several songs as well as original versions of those previously released as digital tracks. (Though those will also be remastered and remixed)

Double J played a wild 1991 recording of Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes live at the Prince Of Wales. (This show was released as LURE OF THE TROPICS in 1992. Mostly improvised and with Robin Casinader playing on a sparking old Leslie speakered Hammond organ that was found on the stage and too heavy to move. They were opening for an acoustic Bob Mould. Great luck that the ABC truck was there and had so many tracks left free to record the whole band.

The winter and cold season has already begun and that we ought to choose our winter appearance. initial of all we tend to area unit Friendship Bracelet looking in our last winter season wardrobe to envision that things are often reproduced and wear for the second season. Besides our vintage (we will name our last winter season things as vintage)

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
