ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS? (The title comes from the chorus of “Song Of Life” ) is a classic rock’n’roll album. Classic if you lived through what has become known as ”the classic rock era” as it rolled out new and even broke onto the beachhead and morphed into punk. That’s the direction Dave Graney and Clare Moore have always been coming from. They have spent their lives schooled by and immersed in rock ‘n’ roll culture. Neither attended higher education and they dived in deep and kept swimming. From the Moodists through the Coral Snakes /White Buffaloes to the mistLY This is an album with their band, Dave Graney and the mistLY. Stuart Perera has played guitar with them since 1998 and Stu Thomas on bass since 2004. MARCH 2019 ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS? 2019 album out - available here via mail order... album available at our Bandcamp page either as a digital copy or a Compact Disc.

(A site usually tuned into all things "Detroit/Birdman/Stooge-ish") Dave Graney "Under The Grill with Mikey Cahill" at the Herald Sun. Great review of ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS? in Your Music Radar by Brian Parker. "This is your Guernica, your Imagine, your XYGTHO Phase 3, your Raging Bull. Everything you have created before has culminated in this true masterpiece of recorded music. Life, Death, Pathos, Humour, Groove and above all Aplomb = Zippa Dee Do what is-was that-this? Congratulations to you, Clare and the mistLY and thank you for an album that will be on regular rotation in my shack for the remainder of my days". Great Review of the album in Music Trust by Noel Mengel. "Excellent writing on the album by Bob Osborne at Analogue Trash Radio". "With ZIPPA DEEDOO WHAT IS/WAS THAT/THIS?, Graney set out to make a BAND album this time around and the MistLY revel in the creative freedom of tracks like Is That What You Did?, an eight minute-plus opus executed in the spirit of the great jam bands such as The Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead. Credited to all four band members, there’s a sense of space in the song which allows the band to explore some wonderful musical ideas, taking great advantage of the opportunity to lay down some tasteful, complementary licks.

details here Available at Bandcamp and itunes..... "There’s a fine mix of recent and back catalogue material here with a good nod towards Coral Snakes era tunes. The “audience” feel of the recordings does give a sense that you are actually there in the room enjoying the laid back ambience of the proceedings. The arrangements are both fascinating, effortless and rich giving a new life to a lot of the compositions. The sequencing of the material allows for a seamless listening experience, in some instances the transitions between the songs are little works of art in their own right with a feel of the tone poems of Miles Davis on “Get Up With It” in one instance. The occasional witty inter-song commentary is worth the price of admission alone. The highlight for me is a funky stroll through a complete reconstruction of “The Stars Baby, The Stars” which takes an already excellent song to a completely new place."

"DAVE GRANEY FEARFUL WIGGINGS (Fuse) *****If I've learnt anything in my years of writing about music it's that if you are going to do anything of worth in this tough game, you better have your own thing. Today's generic is easily replaced by tomorrow's. And yet you need to be flexible, to follow wherever the songs demand. In the case of this, only the second credited as a solo album among 30 or so Graney releases, it's a curious yet welcoming lane he walks you down, with acoustic guitars, not much percussion, vibes, smooth sounds. At the end of it you feel like you've awoken from a strange yet pleasant summer's dream. As shot by Luis Bunuel. It ranges from off-kilter reveries (A Woman Skinnies Up a Man, The Old Docklands Wheel) through to the softly seductive (How Can You Get Out of London) and the downright arch (Look Into My Shades, Everything Is Great In The Beginning.) This is music that is neither folk, nor blues, nor country, but it's all Graney, somewhere out to the left field beyond Lee Hazlewood's raised eyebrow. It's astringent on the tongue but sweetens in the telling. Noel Mengel - Brisbane Courier Mail 2014 solo album from Dave Graney , FEARFUL
WIGGINGS. Begun early
in 2013 and vocals recorded with Lisa Gerard (Dead Can Dance)
at her studio in rural Victoria. Most instruments played by Dave Graney
with Clare Moore on percussion, drums and vibes and also UK guitar genius Nick Harper on two songs. A single will be released in early 2014. Its
quite pop. Begun with acoustic guitar tracks. A singer songwriter record
in some ways.
Story about FEARFUL WIGGINGS from Australian Musician Magazine Tracks on FEARFUL WIGGINGS include A woman skinnies a man up, everything was legendary
with robert, how can you get out of london? flower of the earth, country
roads unwinding, I was there, look into my shades, I'm the stranger
in town, I know you can't see me, everything is perfect
in it's beginning, fearful wiggings, je est un autre, the old docklands
wheel.

Dave Graney, Clare Moore, Stu Thomas- Brixton 2008- pic dave western 2004 A recent show by the Moodists in Melbourne once again saw the aristocrats of the underworld come out to check out something real and scary. The band scared themselves . Here are some reports from this rare sighting Mick Geyer, friend and former manager of Dave Graney 'n' the Coral Snakes, passed away on the 13th April 2004 and was buried in the town he was born and gew up in, Sunbury, Victoria. Dave Graney has written a brief story about Mick Geyer HERE. 2003 The Moodists Compilatio ,"two fisted art" was out on the on the WMinc label . 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.Available on itunes. David Graney tries to explain where the Moodists songs were comin' from , here.... Reviews of "two fisted art" can be seen
here. What
the papers were saying in 2003. Clare Moore writes about her first concert experience. The Rolling Stones , Adelaide, 1973.
