Two titans of the Australian underground reunite.
Lauded as the hardest working men in showbiz, their individual influence on Australian music is mighty and immeasurable. Together, they're a force to be reckoned with.
From his time as a founding member of iconic punk band The Saints and genre-bending outfit Laughing Clowns, to more than 15 solo albums, Kuepper’s unique guitar style and distinctive vocals have captivated audiences and critics alike.
Following a sold-out national solo tour, Kuepper returns with renowned master drummer Jim White (Dirty Three, The Hard Quartet) off the back debut album, After the Flood. Re-imagining songs from Kuepper’s expansive career, witness his fierce genius collide with White's eclecticism in a night out that will have you talking about the show long after it’s over.
Praise for Ed Kuepper Jim White
‘… 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
‘This is a superbly magnificent collection of gems that capture the ethereal songwriting skills of Kuepper over the years with the added frisson of White's innovation and creativity, adding numerous layers and nuances to the tracks.’ – Backseat Mafia
‘Extended crowd appreciation finally coaxes the two musicians back into the fray and we’re treated to a robust rendition of Kuepper’s solo track Rue The Day to bring things home, both Kuepper and White standing by the end of the righteous and powerful performance and seemingly as engrossed in the music as the adoring, sold out throng before them.’ – Rhythms
