HASHISH and LIQUOR - 2005 DOUBLE
at itunes nowYOU'VE BEEN IN MY MIND - 2012 album - dave graney and the mistLY
at Bandcamp now
you’ve been in my mind is the new album from dave graney and the mistLY (aka the lurid yellow mist).
An album of short, whip-smart pop rock songs with lashings of ideas, flash,wit and bounce.
That’s dave graney on electric 12 string guitar, stuart perera on blazing left handed Rickenbacker, clare moore on drums and stu thomas on bass, with everybody singing too.
recorded with engineer andrew “idge” hehir at soundpark in Brunswick and mixed by dave graney at the ponderosa, its the first collection of new graney songs since “knock yourself out” in 2009.
a few words from dave…
“ this bunch of songs was recorded quickly, just the way I like it. Its not about layers of sounds, its just the simple setup of the band in the room and the songs. We knew them all pretty well so every song was put down to the machines with absolute certainty, power and poise. Its got all the flavours and tones about music that I’ve loved.They all came out in this session. . I guess the bedrock tone and attitude of my music is 70s rock. That’s the west coast american sound in the vocals and my guitar and the r&b grooves and the jazz voicings of the chords. They are all the changes and tempos that come out of me, naturally. Its pretty upbeat and begins with a 2:40 second song called blues negative that’s over before you know it and doesn’t let up”.

KEEPIN' IT UNREAL
Originally released 2006.
2015 reflections.....this was a representation of a certain type of live show we were doing around this time. "Hashish and Liquor" were albums that needed the right situations to playthem in. And Mark Fitzgibbon on deck all the time. That wasn't always possible so we did shows in this trio style. Then we decided to record it. A way of approaching songs in a "remix" type of way but "mixing" the songs through the filters of different instruments. We did this again later with both "Supermodified" and "rock'n'roll is where I hide".The songs came from all sorts of previous albums of ours. the earliest being " a million dollars in a red velvet suit: from 1991's "I was the hunter and I was the prey" and "there was a time" from 1994's "you wanna be there but you don't wanna travel". we did a lot of touring with this setup. Vibes, bass and 12 string acoustic. It was very portable. Suited theatres the best.We also covered Suicide, Mose Allison and M.

WE WUZ CURIOUS - 2008 mistLY MASTERPIECE via Bandcamp now
or at itunes now
2015 reflection... From Hashish and Liquor (via Keepin' it unreal) to this. It was a real rejuvenating period and I was full of artistic ambition and excitement. Coming from the band I guess. Stu Perera really stepping out and having Stu Thomas in the band. Then adding Mark Fitzgibbons' amazing chops. I love this album. All my favourite records that we've made start from "the devil drives" in 1997. That and "the dave graney show" in 1998 were also real artistic high points although I was in a much darker, beseiged, clossed off frame of mind then. I was like a punchy boxer.
By the time of "we wuz curious" I was in a much happier place. Playing a lot more guitar got me back into performing music in a different way. I love the r&b feels and the twin guitars and amazing keys on this album.
Fave lyric ... "douglas was in bed with a young girl / mary walked into the room
he said "who are you goin to believe? me or your eyes?"
he lit a cigarette and stared / the girl got dressed and left / comforted his wife made his bed and waked out himself
are you fuckin with me?"
dave graney - "night of the wolverine demos/early 90s songwriter demos " - digital only release 2015
Seven
songs recorded in 1991 on a 4 track cassette that eventually ended up on
the album, Night Of The Wolverine, which was recorded in a weekend late
in 1992.
The other songs were recorded around the same time. Dave Graney felt hollowed out after the failure to geet the album I Was The Hunter and I Was The Prey out. (Recorded in London with the original Coral Snakes in 1990. It eventually came out in 1992 on Fire Records in the UK).
The idea of gathering another head of steam or bunch of songs as strong as that seemed impossible and Dave thought his future lay in being a songwriter for other artists.The last four of these songs were intended to be sung by a female. "I walked with a Saint" and "I'm gonna live my life" which was eventually covered by Lisa Miller.
"Somewhere in the world" was recorded by Tex Perkins for his debut solo album, "Far be it from me" in 1996.

Track Listing
you wanna be there but you don’t wanna travel 4:15
This song was first recorded in 1990 on “lure of the tropics” – a live performance cd- and then in the studio for the album of the same name released in 1994. We were playing this in a different instrumental style on this 2014 tour. No drums, just guitars and keys. The lyric strongly relates to “everything was legendary with Robert” which we were playing on the same dates.
I will have always been here before 6:04
This segues from “you wanna be there…” but we took this song from a later date in the tour. There were some loud audience members talking on the Adelaide version. Song originally recorded for HASHISH and LIQUR in 2005. I played bass and guitar on e original. Lyric inspired by a Roky Erikson song, “I have been here before”. Also by a friend of my nephew who once shushed me by holding up his hand ( with back to me) and saying “cease-mortal!”
you wanna be loved – 4:32
More of an electric guitar work out from a show in Adelaide in 2013. Stuart Pereras lyrical playing is quite amazing here, as is the power of Clare Moore and Stu Thomas on the drums and bass. A song originally from the album “you wanna be there but you don’t wanna travel, released in 1994.
the stars, baby the stars 5:47
Details as above. Played in this sequence at the show. Song also originally appeared on the 1994 album, “you wanna be there but you don’t wanna travel”.
we don’t belong to anybody 4:58
A song recorded for “rock’n’roll is where I hide”, an album of re-recorded 90s songs we did for Liberation in 2011. This was the only “new” song on that disc. Here it is played in the Council Chambers at Sth Melbourne Town Hall. Featuring the mistLY with the addition of Mark Fitzgibbon on acoustic piano. Again, nothing really mic’d up and played at a very low volume level. The song was intended as a “story of the band” type tune to play at show. “Hi-this is who we are”
are we goin too fast for love? 4:04
From the Sth Melbourne Town Hall shows. We did four nights there in early 2011. Song originally recorded for “heroic Blues” in 2001.
