Thirty years since Night of the Wolverine, the meticulously dressed frontman and his close-knit band are hitting the road again to celebrate their enduring album

. “He really had an individual style that I liked,” Cummings says. Moore, who has also played with Cummings, recalls him reaching out when “there wasn’t really a lot else of that going around, especially from other musicians”.

Graney admits much of the album depicts a fantasy world, but one that comes from a recognisable place, driven by the urge to escape. “It was the same in Adelaide where I grew up,” Moore says. “It was just expected, especially if you were a musician, that you had to get out of there. You had to go to Melbourne or Sydney, and then when you got there, you had to go to London. You didn’t even talk about it, you just did it.”

“We were just screamed at by thousands of people, drunks in Traralgon,” Graney recalls. Moore remembers fights in the car park outside beer barns with a shudder. The band started leaning on new, harder-rocking songs from what became the next Coral Snakes album, You Wanna Be There But You Don’t Wanna Travel.
