Shortly before Stu D aka Stuart Thomas aka le comte d'alucard left for a European tour with Kim Salmon and the Surrealists, he recorded an album with Dave Graney and Clare Moore. This is the 12string, vibes and bass sound that they have been playing with all year. Songs include a cover of Suicide's "Diamonds fur coat champagne","you put a spell on me" (written with Matt Walker and recorded by him in 2000) , "parchman farm" by Clare Moore as well as the following songs re recorded and re interpreted in the new super shimmering, acoustic sound...

Lt Colonel, Cavalry
am I wearing something of yours?
a million dollars in a red velvet suit
biker in business class
there was a time
the stuff that night is made of
vengeance is on its way (don't worry)
everybody's gone (from somewhere)
a lot to drink about
anchors aweigh
lets live properly (like we're stoned)
Who of us two? (Originally "Qui de nous deux?" by French artist "M")

This album is called "KEEPIN' IT UNREAL" and is out on Reverberation and via itunes now.

Dave Graney was asked to mc at the AGE EG 21st birthday party at the POW on Friday 27th October. As a mad idea to "represent some melbourne weirdness" he asked Mick Harvey and Rowland Howard to play some Birthday Party songs with himself on vocals and Clare Moore and Chris Walsh from the Moodists. Rowland was otherwise engaged but Steve Miller from the Moodists stepped in . They followed Bonnie Tyler who appeared out of nowhere, singing " total eclipse of the heart" . Schlock like that is hard to follow but ran through "the friend catcher", "mr clarinet" and "happy birthday".It was weird and wild. Half the audience went nuts and the other half had the look of stunned mullets. It was a pristine, totally preserved sound of 1983. They brought the moise. Nothing that could come out of any particluar pedal or compression box. It was real. Hurrah!

The following news is just in from Stu Thomas, (...aka Stu D...aka Count Dracula...) bass and trumpet player in the Lurid yellow Mist in regard to his ongoing activities outsid the tent...
"Hey Dave,, On The Paradox (the Stu Thomas Paradox, the music outfit fronted by Stu Thomas...aka Stu D...aka Count Dracula...) front, we're in the pre-production stage of recording a new LP. Nothing on the live front, as all energies get routed to the record and subversive photo sessions.

Lurid yellow Mist guitar and vocal magician Billy Miller was part an acoustic Gypsy/flamenco trio called Poco Loco that played at a fesival in Norway in July (sjyrock.com) . Bill then returned to Australia to be a part of the Countdown Spectacular live show around Australia. Billy played songs from his band the Ferrets who had several number one singles and a number one album in the late seventies.

Clare Moore recently performed as part of Henry Manetta and the Trip, playing a nights tribute to the music of Sun Ra at jazz club, Dizzys.

Why not try the 2005 double cd by Graney and Moore. One disc by Dave Graney and one by Clare Moore. Titles is / are "Hashish and Liquor". More details here.....
Graney titles include "I will have always been here before", " I've got dimensions", " sometimes you can see yourself", "only the stoned can see me", "there he goes with his eye out" and " my schtick weighs a ton".
Moore titles include " a lot to drink about", "the town bike song", "alphonsus will get you", "long train of misery", "out of where" and " a taste of the abyss". The latter is a nod to French poet Charles Baudelaire who penned several poems and essays on wine and hashish. One was " a taste of the abyss" and the other was " a taste of infinity".
Most music is played by Graney and Moore. Some piano was played at one of the original sessions by Melbourne jazz legend Mark Fitzgibbon. Stuart Perera from the Lurid Yellow Mist has added some guitar. Warren Ellis from the Dirty Three has played violin and flute on several songs. Otherwise it is Graney on guitar and bass and Moore on drums and keys.

Australian music icon and superstar Renee Geyer recorded a song written by Clare Moore for her latest album released on ABC records. The song is called "lost in space" and closes the cd in six minutes of string laden, latin/circus arabic style grooves. The record was produced by renee and Magoo and features the cream of Australias studio cats on top form on what must be surely among the best albums of her long career.

Former Coral Snake keyboard player Robin Casinader has recorded and released a new cd, "Useful Tunes". This ambitious and highly enriched sound can be accessed vi hia web site which can be found HERE.

Dave Graney and Clare Moore also mixed seven tracks by Melbourne trio the Muddy Spurs. The songs are very ambitious and very good and the performances are extraordinary. It is rocking in the musical area and features the most ass kicking vocals of Catherine McCarthy. She needs neither a microphone or a PA to be heard!

Clare Moore has also been working on further recordings with Melbourne singer Kaye Patterson. Clare Moore on drums, Adele Pickvance ( formerly with the RDGShow) on bass and Kaye on piano. (Again , an all female situation). Kaye insists on recording vocals and acoustic piano at the same time which makes it harder but also gives it a real old school edge. It helps that she is a rock hard player who knows her material inside out.

Stuart Thomas (aka Stu D aka Count Dracula) is the new bass player in the Lurid Yellow Mist. He follows Adele Pickvance. Who followed Gordy Blair. Who co chaired with Andrew Picouleau. Who followed Gordy Blair and Chris Walsh. Who followed David McClymont. Who followed Chris Walsh.

The soundtrack to Bad Eggs is now officially out on Liberation Music.... It's a completely instrumental 20 track CD, save for the inclusion of "I'm gonna release your soul" by Dave Graney'n'the Coral Snakes . There is also a fair spray of dialogue shot through the whole piece to keep some of the noise that the music appears with in the story. (No sound effects though) It's all kept in the same order as the music rolls out in the film, some tracks having been expanded and others edited.
The CD also includes two film trailers and some footage of us working on the film in the studio..."

The Moodists Compilation ,"two fisted art" is out on the on the WMinc label . It is available on the Hot label in Europe. It is a wild two disc affair. 19 studio tracks fro the 1980 - 1986 life of the band and then 16 live tracks on the other disc. These live tracks were perhaps the main spur for putting the cd out. All unreleased and most never recorded, they capture the band in great sound in three distinct periods. These are in 1982 at the Sedition Festival in Sydney (Mick Turners first gig with the band), 1984 in Melbourne ( Mick Turners last gig with the band) and 1985 in London. All the tracks were selected by Steve Miller , David Graney, Clare Moore ,Chris Walsh and Mick Turner and the WMinc label is run by Steve Miller and Graham Lee. Not many reissues happen in such an in family/ in house manner. This compilation happened because we all wanted it to and felt that the music deserved another listen. Most had never been been released in Australia and all of it had never been released on CD at all.You can find the label by following this button link.

There has been much updating of the Moodists section of the site, with a new bio entry and several new pages of pictures and reviews from the 80's period. There are also some pages of peoples views of the times. People who were there commenting on the scene from todays perspective.

The lyrical dimension of the Moodists is also available ( for the first time ever.)
