“Rock music in the ’70s was changed by three bands—the Sex Pistols, the Ramones and the Saints” – Sir Bob Geldof.
Following a hugely successful debut Australian tour in 2024 (12,000 payers over 12 shows) The Saints ’73-’78 will make their UK debut this November.
Featuring founding Saints members, guitarist Ed Kuepper and drummer Ivor Hay alongside honorary Saints; singer Mark Arm of Seattle rockers Mudhoney, former The Birthday Party / Bad Seeds guitarist Mick Harvey and bassist Peter Oxley of Australia’s legendary Sunnyboys, The Saints ’73 -’78 carry on where the original band left off in 1978 performing the material from their three incendiary albums (I’m) Stranded (1977), Eternally Yours (1978) and Prehistoric Sounds (1978).
“The Saints first three albums rank among the best records ever made. They have been a part of my life since stumbling upon them in the early 80s. Their influence looms large in Mudhoney world. I am stoked, stunned, and humbled that I get to join in on this Rock ‘n’ Roll Reality Camp with Ed, Ivor, Peter and Mick!”– Mark Arm
The tour also comes off the back of a recent 4 LP box set of 1977’s ground breaking debut (I’m) Stranded which features the original album remastered for vinyl for the first time in over 40 years, the previously unreleased 1976 mix of the album, a 5-song live performance from April 1977 at Sydney’s Paddington Town Hall, a full live show from the London’s Hope and Anchor in November 1977 plus all recordings from the 1977 Top 40 charting This Perfect Day and 1-2-3-4 ep sessions.
In their original guise The Saints existed from 1973 -1978 self-releasing the legendary (I’m) Stranded single in September 1976 in the process pre-dating releases from Sex Pistols, Damned, Buzzocks and The Clash. Following the release of their debut album, also titled (I’m) Stranded, in February 1977, The Saints moved to the UK in May playing their first show with Ramones. Over the next twelve months the band would release their only UK charting record, the exquisite 7” This Perfect Day, record and release the 1-2-3-4 ep and record two further albums, the critically acclaimed Eternally Yours (1978) and Prehistoric Sounds (1978) before calling it quits.
