Ed Kuepper

The Saints '73-'78 will release a newly unearthed 1976 live recording, Live At Club '76, alongside an Australian tour marking 50 years since the release of (I'm) Stranded.

Ed Kuepper has postponed his upcoming national tour after suffering a badly broken ankle, with the concerts moving to October and November while three major catalogue releases remain on schedule for this week.

Australian songwriter and guitarist Ed Kuepper will celebrate five decades as a recording artist with the release of a new live album, The Exploding Universe - Live, alongside reissues of his 1990 solo album Today Wonder and The Aints' 1992 release Autocannibalism. All three titles will be released on 24 July through Remote Control Records, with a national tour beginning on 30 July and a newly released live recording of Also Sprach The King Of Euro-Disco available now.

The Damned and The Saints '73-'78 will finally share a stage together for the first time in 2025, nearly five decades after both bands detonated the original punk explosion in the UK and Australia. The tour also revives the historic crossover created by late bassist Algy Ward, the musician whose career linked both legendary groups.

Asteroid Ekosystem, the Australian all-instrumental ensemble led by ARIA Award-winning composer and keyboardist Alister Spence, have announced their second studio album, Sounds Have Dreams, along with two rare Sydney performances in March.

Ed Kuepper, twice inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame as a founding member of both The Saints and Laughing Clowns, will finally bring his acclaimed collaboration with Dirty Three drummer Jim White to the United States for the first time this November. The pair will perform in Los Angeles on November 4 and New York on November 17, with support from none other than Mick Harvey of The Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds.

Ed Kuepper and Ivor Hay will take the 2024 edition of The Saints into 2025 for the UK in November for (so far) five shows.
