1984 (and the livin’ was easy). Unfortunately it’s no longer easy for @2ser107.3 who could well go under without a serious cash injection. This wholly important part of Australian culture for over 50 years now needs to survive and thrive. Go over to their website now and see what you can do to help.
“The band is blistering; Peter Oxley and Mark Dawson are locked in as tight as Superglue stuck between two fingers. Alister Spence is masterful on keys. Eamon Dilworth on trumpet brings echoes of Miles Davis’s “Sketches in Spain” set to a solid backbeat. It rocks. “Not A Soul Around” pumps like a locomotive – just as it did when it came out in the late 1980s.” – i94bar.com

From the release of The Saints epochal 7" (I’m) Stranded in August 1976, via the genre-defying Laughing Clowns, an ARIA award winning solo career spanning some 30+ stand alone albums/compilations and live recordings, side journeys into The Aints, The Aints! and movie soundtracks plus continued sonic exploration via collaborations with Dirty Three drummer Jim White and jazznerds Asteroid Ekosystem, to a recent world tour back where is all began with The Saints ’73-’78; Ed Kuepper has forged, flourished and conquered the recorded medium many times over.
“For me Ed is a prime mover, a musician who has transformed music numerous times over, always swimming upstream, always seeking new terrain, always creating on his own terms. It’s a vast, singular body of work, no one else could have produced it. I get the same pleasure listening to Ed as I do listening to Neil Young or John Martyn or Patti Smith or Michael Rother.” - Steve Cross / Remote Control records
