5. The Moodists - Gone Dead

  1. Gone Dead
  2. Chad's Car
Here's a blues-punk single from our Australian pal Dave Graney. It's the second of eight singles by The Moodists, but I've heard a few on this Youtube they have now and they're not quite as good as this one.  I found out about this band through Stewart Lee's great book How I Escaped My Certain Fate - The Life And Deaths Of A Stand-Up Comedian, which you must buy, now.  On the Peel side of things, they did two sessions, in '84 and '85, but never really attained the cult following that many of their fellow post-punkers-on-Peel did. I guess they came just slightly too late to the post-punk scene. Wikipedia claims that Dave Graney had a bunch of other projects as well, but I can't really be bothered to listen to them right now and have no plans to.

1981, Au Go Go Records
