Put Friday 4 August in your diary for what will be a special night when Dave Graney and The Coral Snakes take to the stage in The Brewery at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi to perform as part of their 30th Anniversary Tour of ’Night Of The Wolverine’.
Dave Graney and the original members of The Coral Snakes will reform to perform the landmark album, Night Of The Wolverine, in full. In a two set program, they will also perform classics and deep cuts from their mid ’90s heyday.
Dave Graney and The Coral Snakes made their own way through the ’90s.
Nobody stood near them. They cut through with wit, flash and weirdness for four albums. They won through without being indie in nature or grunge by nature or demeanour. They had ambition, power and style.
They also had grooves and bounce and Dave Graney used street slang and literate word bombs to fully state his case.
“This band is a Black Statesman – 73! Caprice! Leaded!”
The band played every kind of festival happening at the time, were regular performers on national TV, had Gold Discs and ARIA awards. They were an island for groovers in the grim grunge years.
This album marked their unlikely move into the mainstream consciousness and widely regarded as a classic of Australian alternative rock music. Dave Graney on vocals, Clare Moore on drums, Rod Hayward on guitar and Robin Casinader on keyboards were the original players who recorded Night Of The Wolverine in 1993. They will be joined on this tour by Stu Thomas on the bass.
This is an 18+ event. Doors open at 7.30pm. TICKETS: $50 (+booking fee) through Oztix.
