Looking forward to playing these shows with original Coral Snakes Clare Moore on drums, Rod Hayward on guitar and Robin Casinader on keys and violin. Stu Thomas will be sitting in with us on bass.
We will be playing two sets, the first being the Night Of The Wolverine
album and the second filled with songs that came before and after that
breakthrough (for us) record. Its a decade of licks, moves and changes
compressed into a couple of hours. Powerful. We also have plans to be issuing a
vinyl version of the album (It came out on Compact Disc originally).
This will be a double album with gatefold sleeve.
Classic Album Of The Week for Night Of The Wolverine recently on ABC Double J FM.
Caroline Tran did and interview with Clare Moore and myself which is up on their page. We talked about the experience around the making of the record and several songs. It was nice to chat about our work and all week people have been in touch via social media in regard to this album. It has been very positive.
Also, thanks to everybody who came to our shows for IN A MISTLY. The Nightcat gig in Melbourne with Mick Medew and Ursula was great. Such a wonderful venue. Melbourne is the place where we get the least support from the rock community but our own community turned out for us. Thank you! It was excellent to play with Stu Thomas and Stuart Perera again. Powerful!
Canberra at Smiths was a great two set affair with Adele Pickvance joining us on bass. A great crowd of people, like playing in a small club theatre environment and Bevan always gets such a tremendous sound. We then played in Sydney at THE GREAT, a venue which has been bedevilled by a noisy complaining neighbour but I hope they win and are able to keep open. Dave Wray came from Lismore to play sax with us again. Incredibly good musician. Our Sydney band! Two sets again and it really hit some amazing high spots.
On the Sunday Adele had to run a 4ZZZ community radio gig in Brisbane so Dave Wray, myself and Clare travelled to Woy Woy on the Central Coast. Our booker Steve Griffiths brought along a bass and sat in with us for about eight songs - including two from our Moodists period. That was great. We were almost involved in a fight with a drifting mopoke before the show as we tried to eat our food after a long drive. I had no patience with the schmo. He sat himself down too close to me and also to our food and was drunk at lunchtime and proceeded to tell us how he didnt know we were in a band and how was he to know and who are we anyway and ..... etc etc etc . Dave Wray eventually figured out he was not a friend of ours or Steves and ushered the fellow away. (He weaved back past us again in an attempt to annoy Dave - which worked).
Anyway, it was a great time at Woy Woy!
Clare Moore and I then stayed in Sydney for a week and caught up with some friends who we only normally see as we rush through town doing a show. All the NSW gigs were SOLD OUT which was a great tonic for myself and Clare.
Dave Graney and Clare Moore West Australian dates for our album IN A MISTLY have been re-scheduled for May. Martyn Casey will be playing bass with us at these shows.
Get the album on CD here.
