It's a rock album with grooves, upbeat tempos, drums, guitars and bass and vocals. So when they’ll be doing gigs – making show – they’ll be playing as a band. Dave Graney and the mistLY. A group with an engine room and a powder room.
Playing songs from Laburnum Of The Mind as well as songs from across the 40 something albums, Dave Graney and Clare Moore have been involved in writing, playing and producing.
Dave Graney and the mistLY is Dave Graney on guitar and vocals, Clare Moore on drums and vocals, Stu Thomas on bass and vocals (since 2004) and Stuart Perera on guitar and vocals (since1998).
They're from Melbourne but they're not like those other Melbourne bands and they're a rock band but not like those other rock bands. Remember, keep your head down and yourself tidy! Hits Are The Worst!
"the Serge Gainsbourg/Lee Hazelwood/Jim Morrison/Scott Walker/Skip Spence/Ern Malley/Lenny Bruce of Australian music.
A genius songwriter with effortless presence and command, and yet also an invisible chameleon, a reflecting surface, an anonymous conduit.
Anyone who saw his and Clare Moore’s ATP sets last year will not want to miss these.
Dave is one of the all time greats. I learned much of what I know from him. Rock and Roll is where he hides”. Stewart Lee
"Last nights Dave Graney gig at Leith Cricket Club was seriously one of the best gigs I've been to in a while. Imagine Robert Forster channelling Frank Zappa whilst dressed as a cowboy John Waters. So much charisma" @blasts_of_static c/o instagram Oct 2017.
"It’s all worth the evening — busted shoes, city munters, a missing twenty-dollar note — when the band finish the main set with Mt Gambier Night, distilling all of The MistLY’s exercises in poise and restraint into four compressed minutes. It’s exceptionally beautiful: still quite pop, but with a layered density.
After pretending they’re not going to do an encore, Graney & co close the night with Rock & Roll is Where I Hide. It crackles over with dangerous energy, Graney delivering his prose with a sneering cadence, and it hits its theme too well: Tinker-Tailor-Spy, this is not a real person you’re looking at.
It isn’t exactly so much fun as essential: merci, comrades…"

"* Dave Graney is one of Australia’s most iconoclastic contemporary music artists. He works outside the mainstream and inhabits that region somewhere between the spotlight and obscurity, consistently producing a prolific stream of high quality work that sometimes sneaks under the guard of the gatekeepers and becomes briefly visible to the masses". Andrew Watt – online interview and review
"Graney remains a sonic explorer, boldly going where no other Australian artist dares. Younger artists would kill to have the energy that’s on display here".
- Jeff Jenkins

Mr graney was as elegant as ever.
I found myself txting snatches of his witty lyrics to my step daughter in tel aviv.
I should also add that his sports coat nearly tealed the show ;) (you had to be there)

Icons of Australian music culture.
Diverse in genre, style, delivery and composition.
Highly creative lyrically and musically, winning Aria Awards early in their careers, marking their success as original dynamic performers.
No two album releases resemble the last.....They stand alone and together as testiment of an impressive body of collaborative work..... Through the encompassment
of experience, talent, creativity and originality arise eclectic compositions, of theatrical poignant witty clever topical ironic reflective cool banana loungesque with a twist of far horizoned interior heat hazed mirages cultural mythology tyrannical distance in second hand cars whose makers are now extinct.
