Dave Graney And The Coral Snakes To Reunite

Dave Graney And The Coral Snakes, the beloved Aussie rock group that made music from 1986 until 1998, is taking the show back on the road this July and August, commemorating the 30th anniversary of Night Of The Wolverine.

The title track and You’re Just Too Hip Baby reached #48 and #59 on the triple j Hottest 100 of 1993.

Ian McFarlane, an Australian music historian, said about the iconic album: “At the end of 1992, Graney scored a publishing deal with PolyGram Publishing, and the Coral Snakes entered the studio with engineer/producer Tony Cohen to record their breakthrough album Night Of The Wolverine.

“Helping out were Andrew Picouleau (bass; ex-Sacred Cowboys), Amanda Mitchell (backing vocals) and Tex Perkins, who guested on one track. Night Of The Wolverine (April 1993) was a certified Australian rock classic. It captured Graney at the peak of his songwriting powers. Tracks like You're Just Too Hip Baby, Night Of The Wolverine, I'm Just Havin' One O' Those Lives and Three Dead Passengers were full of elegant and eccentric detail.”

Now, in a new interview with The Guardian, Graney and Clare Moore have revealed that it’s time to celebrate the seminal 1993 LP.

Dave Graney And The Coral Snakes - guitarist Rod Hayward, keyboard player Robin Casinader and drummer, percussionist and Graney’s partner, Clare Moore - are making a rare return to the road. In July 2016, the band hit the Corner Hotel for Leaps & Bounds Festival, along with The Sand Pebbles and The Ancients, following a hugely successful run of shows in 2015.

“I appreciate people still being interested in our music, and we’ve learned which songs have kind of lived on in people’s brains,” Graney told The Guardian. Indeed they have.
