Tapped By Otherside Presents...
DAVE GRANEY THE CORAL SNAKES NIGHT OF THE WOLVERINE 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR | With Big Boss Man
7:30pm, Sat 11 November, 2023
FreoSocial, WA
When the ‘Night Of The Wolverine 30th Anniversary’ tour was announced by the reformed Dave Graney & The Coral Snakes back in April, there was a massive outcry from Western Australian fans of the band that WA was not included what has become a sell out 16 date tour. We’re happy to announce that in conjunction with our friends at The Freo Social, the tour will now be coming to WA for one show only on Saturday 11 November with special guest Big Boss Man.
For this special 30th Anniversary presentation, 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 90’s era of heat.
Dave Graney & The Coral Snakes made their own way through the
90’s….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 for this show by Stu Thomas on the bass.
“Part lounge, part country, and part straightforward pop, Graney produced a
mini masterpiece with this album. A disarmingly likeable mixture of gently
humorous lyrics backed by the impeccable musicianship of the Coral Snakes,
this album deserved to be huge.”
