A pillar of Australian indie music scene Dave Graney has today announced a tour with his old band The Coral Snakes to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the classic album ‘Night of the Wolverine’ which will include an expansive Australian wide tour.
In a two-set performance, the original members of Dave Graney and The Coral Snakes will perform ‘Night of the Wolverine’ in full, plus classics and deep cuts from their mid 90’s “window of heat” on a 13-stop tour that takes in 6 states and territories.
Including the hit ‘You’re Just Too Hip, Baby’, the 1993 album made a major impact on the global music scene and set the standard for Graney’s debonair style and the band’s mix of baroque pop and measured lounge-room lizard style. The original members, Dave Graney on vocals, Clare Moore on drums, Rod Hayward on guitar, and Robin Casinader on violin and keyboards, recorded ‘Night Of The Wolverine’ in 1993. They will be joined on this tour by Stu Thomas on the bass.
Graney says he is stoked to be reforming The Coral Snakes for the tour.
I love reconnecting with the songs as played by Clare, Rod and Robin. They play so wonderfully – so cleanly and powerfully and its also great just to spend time with them as people and friends. We went through a lot together and these shows are like a decade of moves, licks, grooves, changes and melodies all compressed into a couple of hours. Its powerful! For us and the audience!
Here’s a taste of the joy we can expect:
