The Moodists were contemporaries of the Birthday Party, the Laughing Clowns
, the GoBetweens and the Triffids. In many ways they were the roughest
of the lot and spent most of their career in the UK.
Dave Graney 'n' the White Buffaloes
"My life on the plains"Fire Records 1989 (UK), produced
by Phil Vinall (Later to work with Gene/Placebo/Auteurs). Also has four
tracks from the first ep produced by Barry Adamson. Contained songs by
Gram Parsons, Fred Neil, Gene Clarke. Very late 60s singer songwriter
in inspiration. In parts it predated much of the later American "alt
country" sounds. By the time that had come along, Moore and
Graney had moved well along the trail.
Dave Graney 'n' the Coral Snakes
"I was the Hunter and I was the Prey" Fire records 1990
, produced by Phil Vinall. These first two albums were realeased on Fire
records. Label mates at the time being Pulp and the Blue Aeroplanes. The
whole operation being funded by sales of the Spacemen 3 records.
"Lure of the tropics" Shock Records 1992. A wild, semi
improvised rock'n'roll animal style set.
"Night of the wolverine" Universal Australia 1993/This
Way Up 1996. Produced by Tony Cohen . First Moore and Graney record to
be released by a large label in Australia.
"You wanna be there but you don't wanna travel" Universal
, 1994. Produced by Tony Cohen. First Moore and Graney record to appear
on a chart in Australia. Contained "Livin' out our tomorrow"
the lyic co written by Moore and the instrumental "the confessions
of Serge Gainsbourg" which was co written by Moore.
"The soft'n sexy sound" Universal , 1995/ This Way Up
1996. Produced by Victor Van Vugt (Just after he'd done Beth Orton's Trailer
Park). A gold record for Moore and Graney. Contained Moore writing
credits for "Morrison floorshow" and "Dandies are never
unbuttoned".
"the Devil drives" Universal 1997.Produced by Moore
and Graney. Recorded in Melbourne, mixed in London with David Ruffy and
Kenny Jones. The most psychedelic , ambitious record released by the Coral
Snakes. Their last. Moore wrote the opening instrumental "the oblivion
seekers" as well as co writing the title track, "I love your
gravity" and "feelin' kinda sporty". She also sang the
duet "Pascal and Caroline" with Graney. This is the record where
Moore really came to the fore in wanting to bust out of the role she had
been filling in a band situation.
This whole 90's period was spent mostly in Australia, touring intensely
(very difficult in a place so big and sparsely populated) and releasing
an album every year.
The Dave Graney Show
"The Dave Graney Show" (Festival 1999). The first Dave
Graney Show cd. Produced by Moore and Graney. Military in flavour,
contained the marching psychedelic meisterwork, "I'm a commander!"
(music co written by Moore). Other co written songs included "am
I wearing something of yours?", "they wanted to be players"
and "twixt this world and the next". All the instrumentation
on these tracks was played by the increasingly studio savvy, multi instrumentalist,
Clare Moore.
"Kiss tomorrow goodbye" (Cockaigne , 2000) The second
Dave Graney Show cd. Now released in the UK and Europe by Cooking Vinyl.
Produced by Moore and Graney. Contained "Don't be true"
,co written and sung by Moore. Other co written songs included "vengeance
is on its' way" and "the big fella"( only with the "drugs"
single).
"Heroic Blues" (Cockaigne, 2001)
The third Dave Graney Show cd. Produced by Graney and Moore. A 'singer
songwriter " type record. Contained "don't mess with the blood"
and "eye of the vibe".
The soundtrack to the movie BAD EGGS, (Liberation 2003).The entire
score written, arranged and recorded by Graney and Moore.
"The Brother who lived" by the Royal Dave Graney Show,
