Legendary singer / songwriter / guitarist Ed Kuepper and celebrated drummer Jim White (Dirty Three, The Hard Quartet) team up off the back of their brand new and much celebrated debut release After the Flood for a rollercoaster run-through of Kuepper classics from The Saints, Laughing Clowns and Ed’s own extensive solo career.
"...it’s a masterful display by this Brisbane legend and his new musical compatriot, long may Ed’s local reign over us continue." Rhythms
"...… the results are stunning. Playing tunes as old as The Saints Swing For the Crime and as new as The Ruins (from Kuepper’s 2015 Lost Cities), the album is a brilliant roll of invention" The Wire

Joining Ed Kuepper and Jim White are special guests Bleak Squad
Bleak Squad is a new Melbourne four-piece comprised of true Australian art-rock royalty. Featuring Mick Turner (Dirty Three, Mess Esque), Mick Harvey (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, PJ Harvey, The Birthday Party), Adalita (Magic Dirt) and Marty Brown (Art of Fighting), the unlikely quartet unite for the first time on Bleak Squad's brooding, noir-rock debut LP Strange Love. Borne from spur of the moment jam sessions, Strange Love sees all four members juggle multiple instruments, songwriting, their own idiosyncrasies, and lead vocal duties between Adalita and Harvey. The result is a confident nine-song set of love, loss and lonesome-ness, set to fizzing guitars, slippery basslines, and the signature illogical squawk of Turner’s guitar. With Strange Love, Bleak Squad announce the boldest of entries into the Australian music landscape. City Recital Hall marks their debut Sydney performance as special guest of Kuepper and White.
