Dave Graney is a good hater, a real alligator, a smiling assassinator! He’s also an ideas man and he’s set himself a challenge to release a new single each month until … well … his next good idea. First up was the track ‘I’m A Good Hater’, released on February 18th and available here. Next up will be a tune called ‘This is The Deadest Place I’ve Ever Died In’.
‘I’m A Good Hater’ was cooked up in their Ponderosa Studio in the hills on the outer edge of Melbourne by Dave Graney and Clare Moore in early January 2016. It’s a positively, gleeful yet poisonous brag about hating on something or someone, wrapped in a cruisy, multi-instrumental groove, decorated in Dave’s whimsical delivery style. “Hard. But fair,” says Dave of the song’s lyrics.
Dave Graney and the mistLY’s next gig is on March 24th at the Old Bar, Melbourne. It will most likely be the last chance to see the band before they head to the UK and Europe for shows including an appearance at the Stewart Lee curated All Tomorrow’s Parties 2.0.
