Flashback to 1995: Dave Graney was crowned ARIA Best Male Artist and ”The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound” was certified gold (when it meant something) in the Australian charts. As someone once said: “Those were different times”.
Flash forward to 2025 and Dave Graney and The Coral Snakes are undertaking an Australian tour in October and November, playing “The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound” from go to whoa.
In the words of Mr Graney: “Looking forward to getting back into this Shelby GT500 of an album for a celebratory tour.
“The previous year’s album ‘You Wanna Be There But You Don’t Wanna Travel’ had been a Monaro GTS and ‘Night Of The Wolverine’ was, of course. a second-hand Ford. ’The Devil Drives ‘- a Statesmen ’73 Caprice/leaded – lay in wait in the future."
These Coral Snakes will be Rod Hayward on guitar, Robin Casinader on keys, Stu Thomas on bass and Clare Moore on drums. Expect the album and then “a set of classics from our corner of rock from before and after 1995.”
