Live dates in July. South Australia, QLD, Melbourne and NSW.

We have a new song out right now. Its a re-recording of Saturday Night Bath which originally appeared on Hashish and Liquor in 2005.

The song and accompanying clip were all captured in the tv studio at RMIT. Thanks to everybody who worked on it.

Its a pre-pandemic recording. No overdubs, just a tight combo all paying together in a studio.

saturday night bath
steam and heat electric light
the world is really happening down in the city
but I am here at my place
with my big toe in the tap and a wet cloth over my eyes
I am out of time, baby
I am fresh and rested now
tomorrow people will be madly reading the newspaper outside their cafes
looking for a life where they could lay down
one saturday night in a bath of hot water
and let the world world go by
I am irrelevant
I am just not there
I am here
I am not in the moment of the world
I am havin a moment of our own here in this house
in this part of the world
the trees black and swaying with the wind in the darkness outside
there's a dirt road leading to this house
I've stood in the field and looked across at the lights in the night
and wondered what it would be like to come across this scene
a saturday night bath stickin my leg out the side

I played the guitar, bass and sang on the original 2005 recording. Clare Moore played the piano and Warren Ellis plucked some violin stuff in there as well. (He sent it from his studio in Paris).

We never subsequently played the song live much but whenever we did so people really reacted to it. Must be one of those songs that has a funny, folkie charge in it. Though its really reaching for some jazz tones in it. This is the 2021 version at Bandcamp.

Clare Moore and I have been in the studio recording some songs for the two projected releases we have in mind. These songs are more for a Graney and Moore collection. Just loose, weird songs, not meant for a band to play.

We have started the following ...

The Smoking Years

I Was No Captain

Ronnie Loves To Hear People Talk

Where Did You Glom Your Glimmer?

Everyday Its The Blues, Period.

The Ballroom Blitzed.

The Anita Effect

Beckett And Joyce

Diaghelev And Nijinsky

Ice Bergman

I Knew The Wild Angels

We go into a studio in Melbourne in a couple of weeks with the mistLY to record songs for a more rock'n'roll collection.

What Used To be There?

We Need Cash

The Old Swagger

Wilco Got No Wilcos

Where Are You In The Underworld?

Now You Must Die

Tang

Silver Bullets

Velvets MC

There are quite a few other songs happening as well. And Clare Moore has her own album to do....

In the meantime we have some dates to do. Most of these are by Clare Moore and myself, except for July 17th at the Brunswick Ballroom which will be a rare Dave Graney and the mistLY event. Why is that? Mostly the pandemic. Numbers of people allowed in rooms is limited in most states so a duo makes sense. Also, things are so open to last minute changes and border closures. When its just us two, we aren't having to mange too many changed flights or hotel bookings.

“I caught a set from Dave Graney and Clare Moore at Finding Fillmore’s in Kiama.
As always I just dig their vibe.
Doing it their way, with their
smooky sounds (smooth and kooky, a term I have coined just for them) weird and hilarious songs and stories and Dave’s golden voice.
Cool venue too!”

Jodi Phillis

We watched the last season of RAY DONOVAN. I highly recommend this show! This season was epic in its grim, deathly gripping of ya. Like tv Death Metal. Apparently it was cancelled after this but due to audience outrage (like Deadwood) a movie is to be made which will tie up all the loose ends.

I also bought a hardback book which has five books by Vladimir Nabokov in it. Wow! Lolita was such a horror story! And such a clear eyed view of the USA in 1947. Granted, by an evil minded and perverse freak but it is such good writing. I haven't seen the Kubrick directed movie in many years but I read that it was very much influenced by what was allowed to be filmed in Hollywood. The code. In the book, the girl, Dolores (Lolita) is twelve years old.

Be seeing you.

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

Dave Graney and Clare Moore - In A Mistly

Classic Jewel Case Compact Disc. A rock album. Guitars, drums, bass and vocals. Some vibes and keys –oh and some saxophone. Four songs recorded with the mistLY- i.e. the band with Stu Thomas on bass and Stuart Perera on guitar and eight songs on which Dave Graney and Clare Moore play all instruments. And three songs on which Dave Wray (occasionally Frank Bennett) plays sax. “This is the album we meant to do before Everything Was Funny. Restrictions on movement around Melbourne delayed it, but we kept the songs back that we wanted to play with the mistLY. ”

Dave Graney and Clare Moore - EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY

This is the fifth official album release (out of roughly 30- plus a dozen others) credited to Dave Graney and Clare Moore. Their last studio release was ONE MILLION YEARS DC in 2019. “funny like Warren Beatty funny…” “I liked it-it was funny!” “if there was somethin’ funny goin’ on that’s what I tuned into and took away that was my take away…” A wild and willful yet very focused set of songs. All instruments played by Dave Graney and Clare Moore. Produced by Dave Graney and Clare Moore. “I don’t need a pandemical lockdown to happen to write some songs. Same way I never read any”war poets”. If they need a war to write something it’s not really worth it!” Dave Graney

ONE MILLION YEARS DC

ONE MILLION YEARS DC . This is their second album for 2019, coming hot on the smoking wheels of ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS? That was a “band” album - a “mistLY” album and this is an album of songs. The focus was on the eleven songs. ONE MILLION YEARS DC Pop sounds from the end of the world. How is it ending for you? ONE MILLION YEARS DC. A vivid, rich and sparkling collection of songs. Reflective, searching and personal. ___________________________________________________________ ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS?
