Sounds Like
Tricked up r&b. Or a country soul band led by a hard boiled crime writer who's hopped up on turn of the century French poets.

In music. I’ve found it all depends on what room you’re playing in. I’ve always pitched my stuff as long and as far as possible. For the most part I was trying to keep it elevated and suspended as much as I could. I was after airtime. I still do that. Each album release is a leap into the void. I never expect to be playing to the same room I was in last time. Its probably a stupid way to approach things but those are the tracks I’ve made and I’m rolling.
At one point, in Australia, I was a small figure in a BIG room. I made the scene where all the players were. It was cute. I mostly know people who have been BIG in small rooms. They like that and its kept them warm , and alive. Tight clinches creep me out! In those kinds of places, because of the way I’ve pitched and leapt, my form is indistinct and faint. I’m a bit of a ghost. Even though I was there at many supposedly powerful points in mythic time.
What am I saying? I guess that I have never been in any kind of genre or club. Though we've played in clubs. And theatres and tents and houses and once or twice on the back of a truck.We wuz there at punk rock and post punk and was on Au Go Go and Creation and Universal and we’ve played at the Sydney Opera House , Continental, Big Day Out, Livid, Marquee , Hacienda ,Crystal Ballroom, Danceteria and been on every kind of stupid tv show , though never, ever on Commercial radio. Roots? Are they roots? Or clouds. Is that a room? Or a labyrinth.
BIO- Dave Graney - Clare Moore- Lurid Yellow Mist
Dave Graney and Clare Moore live and work out of Melbourne Australia. They played with the Moodists from 1978 to 1986. They then played with the White Buffaloes/Coral Snakes from 1987-1997. “knock yourself out" will be the 21st album release they have been involved in producing , writing, arranging and playing on.
Dave Graney and Clare Moore had been playing music since punk rock in the late 70s.
Dave Graney plays guitar and sings and sometimes just sings and moves the songs.
Clare Moore plays drums and vibes and keys and sings.
Stu Thomas plays bass and also releases his own music as teh Stu Thomas Paradox. Stuart Perera has played with Graney and Moore since 1998, the longest time any musician has dome so. He plays around Melbourne constantly in the bands rocking the clubs.
Graney and Moore broke ranks with all Indie Orthodoxy decades ago. They like to arrange songs and choose sounds rather than semi religious faith in inspiration and spontaneity. They hate loud guitars ( though they both play in SALMON which features six electric guitarists and two drummers). They resile from emotive spewing forth.
They love authors and people who claim authority as opposed to people who wish to exist completely within defined boundaries of particular genres or forms, people who aspire to disappear within the deathly folds of “folk” or “public domain”.
The old stories that surround many of their peers from the early 80s, the sad postscript that always laments that such and such were “cruelly ignored” and that their music was too good for the cretinous public does not wash with Graney and Moore. When exposed to the Middle Mass, they have vaulted right into the main square of the village and HAPPENED.
They use the vernacular and modes of NOW and always have.

I am back in Melbourne on Wednesday night for a very special
performance with the immortal Victoria Williams. We are playing The
Empress Hotel in Fitzroy. It starts at 8:00pm. So come on down and
spend an evening with us before Victoria bids Australia a reluctant
fare-the-well and heads back home to the beautiful expanse of the
Californian desert …
