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.

Dates in NSW and WA in May and a discography leading up to our 2024 release.

 


 

 

Our Melbourne single launch went well. A 1:30 pm start at the Northcote Social Club. Two sets with Stu Thomas on bass and Stuart Perera on guitar. Dave Graney and the mistLY. We had last played in Melbourne late 2022 at the Nightcat when we launched our album In A Mistly.  This was/is an album full of great rock songs and sounds and dynamics. One of our best ever. So we played a lot of it at this show. Hopefully there will be another Melbourne show this year.


We had one rehearsal a couple of nights before out in Hallam which is a short drive for Clare and I and Stuart but a long one for Stu who lives in Western Melbourne. We usually rehearsed at Soundpark but were under the mistaken belief that it was shutting down. (It was going to be moving as of December 2023 but plans have changed). Thats great because its our favourite studio to record in. The best!

Thanks to everybody who came to the show. Melbourne has been full of all sorts of touring acts both international and local for all of this year. Crazy busy. So yes, thank you to everybody who somehow tuned in to our wavelength and came to the show. We love playing daytime gigs.

 We have some other shows booked. These are confirmed so far. 

Friday May 3rd Dave Graney and Clare Moore play The Agrestic Grocer in Orange, NSW.

Saturday May 4th Dave Graney and Clare Moore play THE BAROQUE ROOM, Katoomba, NSW.

Sunday May 5th Dave Graney and Clare Moore play the Stag and Hunter in Newcastle, NSW

Friday May 10th Dave Graney and Clare Moore play Lyric Lane in Maylands (Perth) WA

Saturday May 11th Dave Graney and Clare Moore play the Duke Of George in East Fremantle, WA

 Wherever we can we will be playing a rock show. Bass, drums and guitar music. In NSW we will be playing with Greg Thorsby on bass and in WA we will be playing with Martyn Casey on the bass. 

I thought I would put a rough discography here so as people could see what led up to this new album.

Dave Graney and Clare Moore with Georgio "the dove" Valentino and Malcolm Ross

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...

LETS GET TIGHT

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
