Dave Graney - October single Matey, From On High. Bennetts Lane Oct 23rd with the mistLY

Fresh from another EPIC show with the Coral Snakes 2016 , Dave Graney releases his eighth single for the year with the jazzy groover , "Matey, From On High".




Dave Graney played acoustic guitars, electric guitars and bass guitar and keys.
Clare Moore played the drums.

Stu Thomas played the trumpet and contributed some wonderful backing vocals.

Will Hindmarsh and Emily Jarrett, courtesy of Go Go Sapien, also sang like a choir.

It's got a nagging hook like a lot of the vocal chants from Sun Ra.  The beat swings and the chords keep rising all the time.

Title taken from a  line in the book, THE APES OF GOD, by Wyndham Lewis. The early 20th century author and painter is pictured on the bottom right of the single image.




A show with the mistLY will happen Sunday Oct 23rd at Bennetts Lane in the heart of Melbourne.
Tickets Here.

Southern Belles - show at Memo Music Hall Sunday Oct 30th

Background

The Southern Belles was a sell-out at the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in June.

Co-Artistic Director of the Festival, Ali McGregor, had appeared in an earlier version of the show programmed for Morning Melodies at the Victorian Arts Centre in 2011.

She thought the show could be re-worked as a cabaret production with the addition of a narrative, and it was performed there to great acclaim by Jane Clifton, Nichaud Fitzgibbon and Carla Lippis.

Clare Moore (drums) and Rosie Westbrook (bass) shared Musical Direction of the show for the Adelaide season as they do for the MEMO Music Hall performance – appearing with a seven-piece band including a high-powered brass section.

Nichaud Fitzgibbon and Jane Clifton, who were both in the original Victorian Arts Centre season, are joined by Rebecca Barnard for the MEMO Music Hall performance on 30 October.
