Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes Soft and Sexy Sound 30th Anniversary Tour October-November 2025
"Dave Graney ‘n’ the Coral Snakes 30th anniversary tour for the Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound album is happening in October-November.The rehearsals have begun and it’s great getting into a lot of songs that we rarely or never played. It was a really deeply serious set of songs. Deep Inside A Song, Scorched Earth Love Affair, the Pre Revolutionary Scene, Morrison Floorshow, I’m Not Afraid To Be Heavy, I’m Gonna Live In My Own Big World, Rock n Roll Is Where I Hide, The Birds And The Goats, Dandies Are Never Unbuttoned and more! A thing of it’s own. Produced by Victor Van Vugt. Great art by Tony Mahony, including our genre/logo AOART. There were also little messages all over the booklet alluding to the times such as Tenez Le Droit, Baby. That was the motto of the Victorian Police and Melbourne in the first half of the 90s was a scene of police and gangland revenge and retribution due to the Walsh st shootings. There was some other text floating around, "Whiskey Fast and Honey Slow" which is a line from a Tim Buckley song which I thought could have described some of the music. Also "Woe Is You", which appears in the song Outward Bound and which I thought encapsulated the angst free but not necessarily meek and mild stance from which I was delivering the conceptual bombs of which the album was made.
The music is sounding great. There have only been a couple of times since we recorded it that I have sat and listened to this record intensely. I am so proud of it. Really no weak part to it. Diverse? Hell yes! Made under pressure. Victors recording and production was amazing. I am sorry if I never thanked him enough. Cannot believe how he recorded some of the vocals so well at almost a whispered volume.
We will be playing the entire album in order and then another set of songs from albums before and after. Join us!
