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!”* **DON’T MISS DAVE GRANEY ‘N’ THE CORAL SNAKES ON** ***THE SOFT ‘N’ SEXY SOUND *****2025 AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL TOUR:** FRIDAY OCTOBER 3 – SYDNEY, Factory Theatre SATURDAY OCTOBER 4 – WOLLONGONG, Waves SUNDAY OCTOBER 5 – CANBERRA, Street Theatre FRIDAY OCTOBER 10 – MELBOURNE, The Corner SATURDAY OCTOBER 11 – BUNDALAGUAH, Bundy Hall FRIDAY OCTOBER 24 – FREMANTLE, Freo Social SATURDAY OCTOBER 25 – MARGARET RIVER, The River Hotel FRIDAY OCTOBER 31 – BRISBANE, Crowbar SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1 – EUMUNDI, The Imperial SUNDAY NOVEMBER 2 – GOLD COAST, Mo’s Desert Tavern FRIDAY NOVEMBER 7 – BYRON BAY, Byron Bay Theatre SATURDAY NOVEMBER 8 – BELLINGEN, Bellingen Memorial Hall THURSDAY NOVEMBER 13 – NEWCASTLE, King Street Band Room FRIDAY NOVEMBER 14 – AVOCA, Avoca Beach Theatre SATURDAY NOVEMBER 15 – CHATSWOOD, The Lounge SUNDAY NOVEMBER 16 – DANGAR ISLAND, Dangar Island Bowlo FRIDAY NOVEMBER 21 – ADELAIDE, The Gov FRIDAY NOVEMBER 28 – LAUNCESTON, Royal Oak SATURDAY NOVEMBER 29 – ULVERSTONE, The Pier SUNDAY NOVEMBER 30 – LONGLEY, Longley Hotel ***Tickets on sale via ****[www.davegraney.com](http://www.davegraney.com/)** **FOLLOW DAVE GRANEY ‘N’ THE CORAL SNAKES** [Website](https://www.davegraney.com/)** | **[Instagram](https://c9e1a4ac.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=183296&session_recipient_id=110361440&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS653XO4XGS3TTORQWO4TBNUXGG33NF5SGC5TFL5TXEYLOMV4S6%3D%3D%3D&signature=qupd2HQ-m8x_luRTZKHp12Vl0K0%3AJht6ewMj)** | **[Facebook](https://c9e1a4ac.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=183296&session_recipient_id=110361440&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS653XO4XGMYLDMVRG633LFZRW63JPMRQXMZLHOJQW4ZLZNV2XG2LD&signature=wXPBL3XksVYj3sQM3fv49MqFo_k%3AJht6ewMj)** | **[Spotify](https://c9e1a4ac.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=183296&session_recipient_id=110361440&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS633QMVXC443QN52GSZTZFZRW63JPMFZHI2LTOQXTA3DHOFIU2USGOZ5FAVDWPJKEKVL2NE3E6NB7ONUT2SDLGE2U6NDCOVIVCUZNII4HORLKGBDFO4KB&signature=8o7XNmSLwbU3icyBdZBs7QltbeE%3AJht6ewMj)** | **[Bandcamp](https://c9e1a4ac.disco-tracking.net/campaign_redir?business_id=52400&campaign_id=183296&session_recipient_id=110361440&url=NB2HI4DTHIXS6ZDBOZSWO4TBNZSXSMJOMJQW4ZDDMFWXALTDN5WS6%3D%3D%3D&signature=z59usc94nhl71KHVDM7H3krRRTg%3AJht6ewMj) ![](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/originals/23646/uploaded_image-2.png)
