Dave Graney and Clare Moore play Wauchope Arts hall (SOLD OUT)
Dave Graney is one of the Australian music scene's most enduring, and strangest, stars.
After moving to Melbourne in the late 1970s he formed his first band the Moodists, featuring wife Clare Moore and future Dirty Three guitarist Mick Turner. Stylistically, the Moodists were influenced by other alternative Australian bands of the time, as well as Iggy Pop and the Velvet Underground.
Over the years Dave and Clare have fronted or been involved with numerous bands and released dozens of live, studio and compilation albums. Along with regular appearances at big festivals including Falls, Livid and the Big Day Out, Dave has nine ARIA Awards including a Best Male Artist award in 1996 and Best Video in 1997.
During the initial Melbourne pandemic lockdown Dave and Clare started doing online shows every week, sometimes twice a week and revisited songs from all these albums as well as workshopping new material. They kept their performing nerve and playing and writing skills sharp.
The duo’s latest album is a classic Compact Disc packed with too many songs for vinyl. It’s an album for the freaks called EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY.
They’ll be playing some of the album cuts – mixed in with old classics from their extensive songbook – along with some choice interpretations of other people’s songs.
