	Luna Kafé - The Moodists: Two Fisted Art (1980-1986)
		Also in the band was Mick Turner (currently Dirty Three and Tren Brothers) and The Moodists' sound engineer Victor Van Vugt (now residing in New York) whose credits include Beth Orton, PJ Harvey and Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds.
		The second disc captures The Moodists live in all their blistering menace.
		Although largely ignored in Australia during their existence, The Moodists' influence can't be denied; this here punter can hear their attack echoed in the moody urgency and lurching bass of nineties band Crow and current Sydneysiders, the confronting Bluebottle Kiss.

	TrouserPress.com :: Moodists
		Originally from Australia, the Moodists are graduates of the thump'n'grind school of gothic punk.
		The Moodists' reign of terror continues on the six-song EP.
		There's also a spooky version of "The Streets of Laredo." With a new combo that reunites the Moodists' rhythm section, the music is supple and textured, providing a perfect vehicle for Graney's increasingly accomplished writing and singing.

		Fact was, the Moodists seemed to make more headlines for being the Darlings of the British Rock Press - just like their contemporaries, the self-obssessed Birthday Party - and that was enough to piss off someone who was living (in his mind's eye) in a musical suburb of Detroit.
		I had the Moodists pegged as the Birthday Party's little bruvvas, when a good listen would have shown them to be related, but also on their own trip.
		It shows the Moodists to be as dark and intense as the rest of the Seaview Ballroom set - but blessed with a wry sense of humour.

	The Moodists at the Tote Hotel
		The reunion of the Moodists was yet another such event, and further testament to the Tote’s ongoing reputation for memorable inner-city rock’n’roll moments.
		Judging by the size of the crowd on Saturday night, the Moodists remain a cult interest for most music fans, even in their adopted hometown of Melbourne.
		A Moodists reunion is a rare treat, and something that every pub rock lover – especially those born after 1980 –; should never miss.

	The Space Music Feature: Dreamers and Dealers
		Mount Gambier was too small to hold them and six months after their first and last ever show the Foreskins morphed into The Sputniks and headed to Adelaide, where they found the teenage drummer, Clare Moore.
		By early 1987 the Moodists had totally burned out and Miller was tour managing full time.
		The wearying and thankless life of a tour manager was not the life he had hoped for though, so in August 1988 he returned to Australia and found a flat in Melbourne.

		I never really knew what to make of the Moodists when they were around in the ï80s, mainly I guess because I had no clue and believed what the music press wrote.
		So when the music press said that The Moodists were in the same vein as fellow AustralianÍs The Birthday Party, I went along with it.
		So whilst I would certainly not have bought The Moodists records when I was a kid, these days IÍd heartily recommend them to anyone with a modicum of soul and a passion for the ïrightÍ kind of Rock sound.

	The Moodists
		Nevertheless, The Moodists were an important band in the history of Australian rock, not least of all for giving us the wonderful Dave Graney.
		Even before The Moodists had established a reputation beyond the independent scene in Australia, they had decided to relocate to the UK.
		They revealed that, while The Moodists had toned down somewhat, the band had lost none of its ability to craft unique and compelling songs.

	Missing Link Records: The Moodists
		The Moodists were one of the groups of Australian bands that failed to find fame in their homeland, went overseas to London and found some fame there, but not too much.
		Nonetheless, the Moodists are easily as significant as many of other Australian band also exporting music at the time, such as The Birthday Party, The Triffids, The Scientists, The Go-Betweens, and The Laughing Clowns.

		It's been a long time coming but the Moodists revival seems to be gathering momentum.
		You'll genuflect - Christ, even Steve Miller was brought to his knees - all the while stabbing his strat and torquing the tremelo - in an environment of scarce resources the self maximising consumer can do little but suck it up.
		We can't offer to sell you a live CD from the current Moodists (yet) but you can get some idea of the kind of vitality that's missing from your life by checking out the retrospective 2CD set Two Fisted Art.

		The Moodists were one of the great bands of the '80s.
		This two disc set is the only collection of the music of the Moodists that exists on CD music that has stood the test of time.
		Gnarly spawn of Australia's early 1980s post-punk scene, the Moodists were doomed to walk in the inky shadow of Melbourne neighbours the Birthday Party.

		In October 1983 the Moodists did what a lot of the 'in tune' bands of that time did, and relocated to London.
		In the process he listened to a lot of very diverse music, the music which would shift Dave's personal musical focus from the Moodists' punk ethic to the grab-bag of influences which would shape Dave's musical output from now on.
		During 2003 Dave and Clair reformed the Moodists in support of a double CD of the group's recorded work, 'Double Fisted Art'.

		No, Ed Kuepper, the Lighthouse Keepers, the Moodists and X are re-living the "golden age" of Australian music, reports Bernard Zuel.
		He's the promoter and the man behind the double CD of the same name - a CD that pulled together 40 singles from what Pittman considers the golden age of Australian music: 1976-1989.
		However, Kuepper is nearly a household name for longevity and productivity, even among those who have never discovered his genius, and the Moodists' Dave Graney briefly ruled as the king of pop and irony in the '90s.

	Dave Graney & The Coral Snakes - Free Music Downloads, Videos, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Hailing from the small South Australian town of Mount Gambier, Graney moved to Melbourne in the late 1970s and formed his first band The Moodists, featuring Graney's wife Clare Moore and future Dirty Three guitarist Mick Turner.
		Stylistically, The Moodists were influenced by other alternative Australian bands of the time, including the Birthday Party, although they were more influenced by American rock such as Iggy Pop and the Velvet Underground than the English punk and gothic scene.
		Although they released two more singles, The Moodists went through a number of line-up changes before finally disbanding in 1987.

		The Coral Snakes replaced the unsettling thump'n'grind of The Moodists with a more refined, lyrical style of rock with a noticeable Gram Parsons flavour.

	The Mick Sinclair Archive: The Moodists
		Most groups are so gutless and fit into the general scheme of things with shitty sounding records and singers that can't sing so have to be treated in the studio.
		It's been heard that the Moodists are erratic, that their gigs veer from the sublime to the unthinkable.
		The engineer thought he knew what rock and roll music was all about." An aspect of the Moodists' attractive intrigue is in the combination of selfishness and generosity which come at either end of the 'creative process'.

		One of the other highlights at the festival is Live from London: the Moodists.
		If you missed this band's recent reformation shows at the Tote and want to hear one of the best rhythm sections in rock, see Dave Graney in his cocksure prime or Dirty Three guitarist Mick Turner before he mellowed, then this is a must-see.
		The Moodists' dark, mutated blues mirrored the more celebrated Birthday Party and inspired contemporary bands such as the Drones, the Bird Blobs and the Liars.

		Releases included The Moodists' self-descriptive brand of garage and Perth's Scientists - a band whose raw, open-throated sound many credit with being a seminal influence on the Seattle garage/grunge scene of the late 80's.
		The raw, moody garage punk of the Moodists and the Scientists in the early 80s.
		Their support band that night was The Laughing Apple - whose singer Alan McGee later released my (and his label Creation's) first record, as a direct result of my dancing to his band at that show.

		This is usually the first thing I listen to on a Saturday so it was good to see it live and see the artists play on it who included Chris Wilson & Shannon Bourne and Marshall Crenshaw who ended the show.
		Dave Graney and Claire Moore were interviewed concerning a film Dave is in at the festival called "Live from London : The Moodists" it was a very entertaining interview.

		The Moodists: Formed in 1980 from the ashes of South Australian punk group The Sputniks, The Moodists, featuring Dave Graney (vocals), Clare Moore (drums), Steve Miller (guitar) and Chris Walsh (bass) tackled blues, New York styled art-punk, rockabilly and minimalism to create an unholy mess all of their own.
		The post Moodists career of Dave and Clare is well enough known but many would be surprised to learn that the later day Moodists also featured Mick Turner, guitarist for Australia's hugely successful, Dirty Three.
		A CD anthology of The Moodists has recently been released and for this special night all four original Moodists plus Mick will reform for a rare one off treat.
