Gather up folks for one of the best tours coming your way this year. Dave Graney ‘n’ The Coral Snakes are hitting the road this October/November for a national tour to mark 30 years since the release of their iconic, 1995 Gold-selling album, The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound.

This anniversary tour is a major moment for the band, who are long celebrated for their stylish mix of art rock, pop, and lounge-inspired grooves. Originally recorded at Metropolis Audio in Melbourne and produced by Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, P.J. Harvey, Sarah Blasko…), The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound highlights Graney’s sharp lyrical flair and genre-blending sound, which resulted in him picking up ARIA Award for Best Male Artist back in ’96.

Fast track 30 years, the upcoming Anniversary shows promise to bring the cool and collective sounds of DG & The Coral Snakes’ acclaimed album to life in full on the stage. The setlist will dive deep into The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound, with standout tracks such as  “Rock’n’Roll is Where I Hide”, “I’m Not Afraid to Be Heavy”, and “I’m Gonna Live in My Own Big World”, along with a second set of classics and fan favourites.

Featuring Dave Graney, and original Coral Snakes members Clare Moore, Rod Hayward, and Robin Casinader, the tour will be a nostalgic celebration full of energy and authenticity. Whether you’re a longtime follower or discovering their music for the first time, the tour offers a rare chance to experience a band whose style and storytelling have stood the test of time…and Dave Graney is here for it: “The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound. 1995. Gold status. ARIA award for Best Male Artist (I called it “king of pop” as that sounded less pretentious). Rock’n’Roll Is Where I Hide, I’m Not Afraid To Be Heavy, Apollo 69, Morrison Floorshow.

Looking forward to getting back into this Shelby GT500 of an album for a celebratory tour. (The previous year’s album You Wanna Be There But You Don’t Wanna Travel had been a Monaro GTS and Night Of The Wolverine was of course a Second Hand Ford. The Devil Drives – a Statesmen ‘73 Caprice/leaded – lay in wait in the future).

Great to be playing with guitar master Rod Hayward and Robin Casinader on keys again. Robin insists we play the album in order so we are going to do just that. Then a set of classics from our corner of rock from before and after 1995. Count us in Clare Moore and see you at a show!”
