I Need To Be Hot - January release from Dave Graney and Clare Moore - further inormation

I Need To be Hot is the January release for Dave Graney and Clare Moore.
This is the first for 2017 and follows a release more or less every month since February 2016. Most have been credited to Dave Graney and Clare Moore as they have been studio creations cooked up by those two rather than formal recording sessions with their band the mistLY.

It is available at itunes and Bandcamp.

A clip has been posted to Youtube. Camera work on Dave Graney by Will Hindmarsh and other footage shot at Glenelg Beach in South Australia in December 2016 by Dave Graney.

LYRICS

I need to be hot
sorry to be so cold
I need to be hot
you know
ttsssssssss!
I'm not talkin' about trendy
I'm not talkin' about cool
I can't afford to be cool
I need to be hot
hot
hot
you know
hot
tttsssss!
I need to be hot
get out of my way
What is my way?
toward the sun
not just the light
the fire!
I need to be hot
I need to be hot
I'm not talkin' about trendy
I'm not talkin' about cool
I can't afford to be cool

Live dates are lined up beginning February 10th at the Caravan Music Club .

Dave Graney and Clare Moore- January 2017 single I NEED TO BE HOT

January 2017 has seen Dave Graney and Clare Moore involved in the BOWIE IN BERLIN series of shows - musical director Mick Harvey - around Australiaand also coping with a recent flodding of their Ponderosa Studio. All is detailed here in Dave Graney's blog.

A review from the show at the Enmore theatre in Sydney.

We are here to talk about the January digital release I NEED TO BE HOT.




Dave Graney leads it in with hs new 24' ultra short scale bass , Clare Moore on drums and electric guitars again by Dave Graney. A sly and soulful groover of a song. The chorus building and building. Very economical with the words. A BIG chorus.

Hot vs COOL. Two polarities long worried at in popular music.

Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhardt were HOT.
Miles Davis was there at the birth of the COOL. Chet Bakerwas there. Charlie Parker had both.
Drugs helped. Elvis and Little Richard were HOT. Scott Walker COOL.

Money helps with cool. You don't worry with cash or a long credit line from home. Money from Home. COOL.

People respect cool. Gregory Isaacs, the COOL RULER. He did it with style and ganga.
Slick Rick. COOL. LL COOL J - invariably HOT! Rakim - you know it!

James Brown? Definitely hot. Curtis Mayfield COOL. Fridgelike!

Drugs? Paradoxically, Ice seems to make people hot.

Jim Morrison -cool . Rob Tyner - hot.

Television? Hell and Verlaine - the COOLEST!

Flippping the coin, Dave Graney decided he needs to be hot.

I guess it's the heat from outside he's talking about. The track itself is COOL. (He's on a  Birdseye Kick!)
