the brother who lived
all our friends were stars
like a millionaire
a boy named epic
the royal troll
clingin’ to the coast
I am your humble servant
midnight to dawn
anchors aweigh
I’m seein’ demons
twilight of a villain
while you dream,I live
I ain’t natural
are we goin’ too fast for love?
she looked at me from out of her eyes
I don’t know anything
my old gloves
commercial street east (starry)

Soon enough, Graney, Clare Moore on drums, and Stu on bass took the stage. Kicking into “Bring Me My Liar” which was an almost spoken word prog-jazz jam, including highly amusing self-references. I couldn’t understand why there were only less than twenty people in the room, I guess playing so frequently can be slightly demanding. Graney still howls like an excited Lou Reed and a lazy Jonathan Richman but more accurately, it seems like the current Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds vocal style has a lot to answer for. The self-proclaimed and intended introductory tune “We Don’t Belong To Anybody’ probably summed them up the best. An entertaining display of sublime clean guitar workouts and falsetto chorus’s, Graney has some amazing guitar chords and progressions that should put him up there as one of the country’s most underrated. “A Man On The Make” was about a guy stuck in a nightclub full of hookers, sailors and dogfights for a week where “Night of the Wolverines” was a slice of pop-sing along heaven. It’s like sweet tropical jazz, gonzo journalism and Zappa-esque lyrical absurdities wrapped in a tight three piece.
In my mind, all of the songs of the set are should be hits and that’s even including the new songs “Midnight to Dawn”, and “All Our Friends Were Stars” off the forthcoming record Super-Modified. They aren’t a novelty band as some might suggest, the brief bursts of white boy funk, tropicalla and reggae are merely just modes of transport for the song itself. Towards the end of the set, Graney cheekily yells out “Any requests”, I decided to shout out “Play Body Snatcher Blues”, so they did. There are benefits to playing at a small venue to a small crowd, and this is one of them. “Let’s Kill God Again” is the hit single Roxy Music should have written as their swansong before becoming shit towards the end of their career. They finished off with “Sell Out” off last years Knock Yourself Out, though I felt like they could have played an hour longer. Very few bands in either Australia or Internationally can claim the fame to writing so many hits. If Graney turns out to be the Australian equiliavant of Kevin Coyne, I am going to be mighty pissed. The man has still got it.

"Lure of the tropics" . The legendary 1992 cd that shows Dave Graney'n'the Coral Snakes at their wildest, most improvisatory , raggedy assed best. Recorded at one show in Melbourne in 1991 with their last cd ("my life on the plains")being released two years before and the subsequent one ("I was the hunter and I was the prey") seemingly never to see the light of day and "Night of the Wolverine" still two years in the future, this is a recording of a band running on sheer bravado, guts and glory. Features the title track, a ten minute improvised, raging jam around an anonymous 19th century poem and the equally spontaneous "Jesus, what'd I do". This is a hell of a record and only available through this site.
