About this concert
"We haven't done this in years… time flies, surprisingly it's been some years since I've done any solo shows, so lo and behold... that is what I'm going to do in April/May. I'll be trying out some new songs, and deconstructing some audience favs and some older beloved tunes in a relatively loving and spontaneous way. Do join me dear friends” - Ed KuepperWith his bands The Saints and Asteroid Ekosystem taking precedence in recent times, plus a collaboration with Dirty Three drummer Jim White, it’s no wonder 2019 was the last time legendary Australian singer / songwriter Ed Kuepper toured nationally as a solo artist. But here we are, at last. The tour comes off the back of a new album After the Flood, recorded with the afore mentioned Jim White in May 2023 and released this March 21 via Remote Control. After The Flood features eight Kuepper originals digging on the material from his past; The Saints,Laughing Clowns and his own lengthy solo career. “We took what Jim and I had been doing live and brought it into the studio. It was important that we captured the immediacy of what we’d been doing, that it wasn’t laboured over. Everything was laid down live”.The first single for Ed and Jim is The Crying Dance. A Laughing Clowns track originally, released in 1982 on the 7” ep Sometimes, The Fire Dance. Hear it here For the April tour Ed will consider these tracks and more from his recent reissue campaign including Electrical Storm, Honey Steels Gold and Black Ticket Day plus new material and old favourites from the before time.

Ed Kuepper Biography
The Exploding Universe of Ed Kuepper returns to stages this April in celebration of the remastered reissued vinyl release of 1992’s ARIA winning (Best Independent release) solo effort Black Ticket Day plus Law Of Nature, the 1984 post-punk classic from Kueppers influential post-Saints outfit, Laughing Clowns.
Released on March 29th and available for pre-order now, Black Ticket Day and Law Of Nature join recent reissued solo efforts; 1996’s Frontierland, the previously unreleased Mr. MiraKle, 1991’s much-celebrated Honey Steels Gold and the 1984 debut Electrical Storm as a part of Kueppers collaboration with Melbourne’s Remote Control records,
“Kuepper’s purple patch of the first half of the 1990s is something extraordinary, and Black Ticket Day (1992) is a jewel in his crown. It’s as expansive as its predecessor Honey Steel’s Gold yet more electric; features pop gems “It’s Lunacy” and “Real Wild Life” but also wig-outs like “Blind Girl Stripper” and “All My Ideas Run to Crime”. Law of Nature (1984) is a heat-haze of an album, drawing as Kuepper has said on memories of growing up in the semi-rural suburbs of Brisbane. It manages to find a perfect fit for the experiental colours of earlier Laughing Clowns releases within a set of disciplined song-forms. A classic of Australian post-punk featuring the original recording of ‘Eternally Yours.'” – John Encarnacao, author, Ed Kuepper’s Honey Steel’s Gold for 33 1/3.
For the April tour Kuepper will again feature drummer Mark Dawson, Sunnyboys bassist Peter Oxley, pianist Alister Spence and brass arranger Eamon Dilworth.
“This was a mesmerising performance with Kuepper’s band, containing decades of experience, delivering a thrilling set that was like a greatest hits collection. Celebrating the release on vinyl of two of his solo albums (‘Honey Steel’s Gold’ and ‘Electrical Storm’), Kuepper solo work is a brilliant mix of the esoteric, jazz, psychedelic and absolute unadorned commercial pop – sometimes all within one song.” – Backstreet Mafia
“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.” – i94bar.com
