The 1001 Albums Challenge # 73: The Saints – “Eternally Yours”

I met Ed Kuepper a couple of years ago. I was the DJ before and after his set – he played a great gig and I felt lucky to be “on the bill”, sharing the bill with a legend. He was very polite, he approached me a few times during my opening set to ask […]

Stubs: # 213 – The Stranglers, Wellington, 2016

No doubt some people wanted to whinge and moan and say “It’s not really The Stranglers” – half a band at best – but usually those people are the ones who don’t go to the show. No one could have gone to this and been upset. It was all the hits – and yet it […]

Playlist: Random Record Crate # 18

I figure it’s time for another Random Record Crate playlist. This one is based around a recent/ish DJ Set where I played some records before and after a (terrific) set by Ed Kuepper. It certainly counts as a random record crate though – I really had no idea what to play or if anything would […]

Gig Review: The Stranglers (Wgtn, April 14)

The Stranglers w/ Ed Kuepper Opera House Thursday, April 14 In the end it was only two original members (drummer Jet Black suffering a bout of ill health) so it was up to JJ Burnel (bass, vocals) and Dave Greenfield (keys, backing vocals) to sell the sound of authenticity – the “new kid” Baz Warne […]

Ed Kuepper: Lost Cities

Ed Kuepper Lost Cities Prince Melon Records Ed Kuepper shows no signs of slowing – and here there’s a hue to his voice that’s reminiscent of Climate of Hunter-era Scott Walker; basically Scott but not full-warble. Kuepper’s songs are little highway ghosts – as on Fever Dream which feels like the very perfect evocation of […]

Ed Kuepper The Return of the Mail-Order Bridegroom Valve/MGM Here the Australian legend revisits material from his solo career and his time as a Saint and Laughing Clown; covers and originals – one minute he’s stripping Hey Joe back down to its murder ballad essence, in a voice that’s not all that far off a […]
