Dave Graney is getting The Coral Snakes back together for a national tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their 1995 gold-selling album, The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound.

Produced by Victor Van Vugt (Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, Sarah Blasko) and recorded at Metropolis Audio in Melbourne, The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound is an iconic Australian album that earned Graney an ARIA Award for Best Male Artist.

The album showcases Graney’s acclaimed lyricism and the avant-garde, art rock of The Coral Snakes and produced fan favourites ‘Rock'n'Roll is Where I Hide’, ‘I'm Not Afraid to Be Heavy’, and ‘I'm Gonna Live in My Own Big World’.

The upcoming tour features Graney alongside original Coral Snakes members Clare Moore, Rod Hayward, and Robin Casinader, with the band performing The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound in its entirety, followed by a second set of tracks spanning their career.

“Looking forward to getting back into this Shelby GT500 of an album for a celebratory tour,” Graney says. “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!”
