Players Please - Harry Howard and David McClymont talk with Dave Graney
Harry Howard and David McClymont have collaborated on an album called UNDER THE WORLD.
David was once in Postcard Records band, Orange Juice as well as in the latterday Moodists for their last two EPS. That was in 1986-87. Then there were years travelling the world and doing nothing in the music arena. Then in 2012 he suddenly started to produce music, learning new tech and releasing a dazzling array of solo works and collaborations. He released two CDs with the Scottish musician Momus and a steady stream of independent recordings as a solo performer and in collaboration with other artists. He recently released Centuries, a double vinyl retrospective on the Last Night From Glasgow label.
Harry Howard played in the second - 80s version - of Crime And The City Solution and then These Immortal Souls with his late brother, Rowland. Then there was the legendary Pink Stainless Tail. He the released three albums with Harry Howard and the NDE (featuring Clare Moore on drums and Dave Graney on vocals) before performing as DUET with then partner Edwina Preston, the electro collaboration that was ATOM and his first solo album Slight Pavilions.
They talk about the recording and how it came about and also about Australian culture and film and tv and football, as seen by an outsiders perspective.

Players Please - Dave Graney talks with The Johnnys
Dave Graney interview with Billy Pommer Jnr and Graham "Hoody" Hood from the Johnnys in regard to their new album (recorded in 1990) Live in Lyon.
The conversation ranges from the bands beginnings in early 80s Sydney and Melbourne to their experiences in the Australian live music and recorded music scene.
Touring up to and over 300 dates a year in 1986. Hardcore driving and playing. Songwriting and forming bands, venues, cities, regional towns, record companies.
Kim Salmon talks with Dave Graney about his new album/project/collective/live show which goes under the name Smoked Salmon. From the first question Kim goes back in time and the long conversation winds between shared experiences in teh underworld of Australian music, London and Europe in the 80s and 90s, working with large and small labels. It wanders!

Dave Graney talks with Twinkledigitz aka Will Hindmarsh
Twinkledigitz aka Will Hindmarsh, once led his band of merry pranksters Go Go Sapien. Madly costumed and highly conceptual yet sophisticated and cartoonish all the while. Will and his partner Emily have guested on many Dave Graney and Clare Moore tracks over the last decade. Will also occasionally played with Clare Moore on her solo ventures as well as the Dames. Emily, Will, Clare and Jane Dust also perform as The Routines. Emily and Will also occasionally perform with Damian Cowells Disco Machine. Will and Dave Graney have also been "working" on their "hip hop/electro prophets" act as Wam and Daz for more than a decade. Time flies...
Twinkeldigitz is Wills first solo outing. All electronic, totally lyrical and conceptual FIRE! Half of this talk was aired on Dave Graneys BLB program on RRR in Melbourne and teh rest was continued off air. They spoke of many things. Tasmania, Melbourne, Twinkledigitz' school days , Go Go Sapien, electronics, technology, AI, humour (is it bad for a musician?) and snacks.
