 Eye Weekly - MUSIC: Ed Kuepper's sporting life - 04.13.95   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Kuepper's treatment of his past work is more akin to the jazz tradition than the more hindsight-impaired tendencies of rock -- one song may show up in bruising electric and delicate acoustic forms on different records, often years apart.
As Kuepper says in an interview the next day, his songs are true and special to him, delicate things to be protected, but they're not everything.
Kuepper started over again in 1989, with an extraordinary and haunting record called Today Wonder, with just himself singing and playing guitar, accompanied solely by drummer Mark Dawson (this set-up is repeated on Character Assassination's companion album, Death To The Howdy-Doody Brigade).

 Long way to the middle? - smh.com.au
No, Ed Kuepper, the Lighthouse Keepers, the Moodists and X are re-living the "golden age" of Australian music, reports Bernard Zuel.
However, Kuepper is nearly a household name for longevity and productivity, even among those who have never discovered his genius, and the Moodists' Dave Graney briefly ruled as the king of pop and irony in the '90s.
Kuepper plans on playing a set of new songs, road testing them for his next album, rather than digging into the vaults.

 Ed Kuepper: Erik Roberts | Haiku Review
Kuepper recently previewed his new set of instrumental pieces in the lounge of David Pestorius' suburban Brisbane home, prior to a giving a giant-screen performance in Melbourne as part of the Australian Centre for the Moving Image's Live@ACMI series.
It is somehow fitting that Ed Kuepper's initial foray into the world of film should take place in the lounge room of a Brisbane house.
Kuepper's concert closed with a reprisal of Tusalava - much to the audience's pleasure - followed by one blast of Swinging the Lambeth Walk so we could all go home with a smile and a reinvigorated sense of wonder.

 Ed Kuepper and Jeffrey Wegener - Gig Reviews - Music - Entertainment
Although Kuepper quit the band two years later, frustrated with record label lack of interest and an increasingly fractious relationship with singer Chris Bailey, he never doubted the worth of their achievements.
So, on Kuepper's return from Europe, the band he was to form would be an extrapolation of ideas he had already begun pursuing.
Wegener had been at high school with Kuepper and even drummed in an early incarnation of the Saints, but his scattershot drumming style was something rarely heard in rock'n'roll.

 Ed Kuepper and Jeffrey Wegener - Reviews - Music - Entertainment - theage.com.au
No matter, the night was rich enough in surprises as it was, as Kuepper revisited four decades of his material, from the immortal punk of the Saints, the jagged punk-jazz of the Laughing Clowns, to his at times brilliant solo pop poetry - even throwing in some left-of-field covers for good measure.
The sonic marvels Kuepper and Wegener conjured between just the two of them was nothing short of gobsmacking.
One of Kuepper's few comments to the crowd was to introduce "Northcote's own" Wegener to the audience, to a fitting roar.

 The Cornish Arms - Artists' Biographies
The Saints without Ed Kuepper went on to record several more, forever tarnishing their name - which is precisely why Ed decided to form the contrary Aints in the early 90s.
This stuff was true Saints and Kuepper redefined the band’s history by compiling this knock-out album that almost never saw the light of day – appropriately titled ‘The Most Primitive Band In The World – The Saints –; Live From The Twilight Zone, Brisbane 1974’.
When I caught up again, Ed was in the middle of releasing a brace of Mail Order Only CDs - 1995’s intimate, acoustic ‘I Was A Mail Order Bridegroom’; the same year’s atmospheric, filmic ‘The Exotic Mail Order Moods Of Ed Kuepper’ wherein he took Nick Cave and the Animals to task.

 Details for Ed Kuepper/This Is The Magic Mile at CDconnection.com
The average rock fan is probably aware that Ed Kuepper was one of the founding members of the Saints, who along with Radio Birdman, share the honors as Australia's first great punk bands.
More intense followers of Kuepper 's career are aware of his jazz -flavored post-punk group the Laughing Clowns and his blazing latter-day proto-punk outfit the Aints.
With only a tiny fraction of Ed Kuepper 's recorded repertoire available in America, This Is the Magic Mile thankfully covers plenty of ground and serves as a well-deserved sampler from a man who richly deserves a higher international profile.

 Official Ticketmaster site. Ed Kuepper tickets, concerts and tour dates
The Saints were one of Australia's premier punk bands, and Kuepper played on two albums before leaving in 1979 to form the Laughing Clowns, a band whose sound was jazzier and quite a bit more experimental than his former group.
Kuepper led the band through four additional albums, but became a solo act beginning with the surprisingly pop-oriented Electrical Storm in 1986.
After another pop album, Rooms of the Magnificent, Capitol took a chance on Kuepper and signed him; his response was Everybody's Got To, his third great pop album in a row.

 The Saints Eternally Yours
While the lyrics are comparatively highbrow, Chris Baileys vocals are practically feral -- combined with Ed Kueppers crushingly powerful guitars and a set of LOUD, LOUD speakers, and youve got a record to reckon with.
At this point Bailey and Kuepper seem telepathically entwined; when they later had an inevitable falling out over artistic differences (or whatever...), the band went soft and postpunk, and while that stuff aint bad, this record is amazing.
Buzzsaw guitars, courtesy of the great Ed Kuepper, hover and zigzag over the galloping rhythms generated by Ivor Hay and Alasdair Ward, while Chris Bailey intones in his deadpan drawl insightful tales of horror and/or disaffection in the Western World.

 Ed Kuepper - This is the Magic Mile :: Music Review :: ABC Ballarat
Rare are the artists who could fill a triple album's worth of material; Ed Kuepper is is more than a rarity, he's a national treasure, having arguably helped change the direction of modern music itself as lead guitarist for the Saints in 1977 with the single I'm Stranded.
What's interesting here is the compilation does not follow a linear progression through that decade - the listener gets a free ride on Ed's coat-tails as he plays DJ with his own legacy, jumping across the different lineups he's played with, from duo to five piece to solo and back again.
This country is still gripped by an urge to hear old musicians knock out watered-down acoustic echoes of their former greatness - Ed Kuepper is the Grange Hermitage of Australian musicians, only improving in taste, quality and value as time progresses.

It's simply that the feral assault of their first three records (when co-founder Ed Kuepper was in the band) is more interesting and exciting.
After Kuepper left in 1979 and the band became Bailey's show, the twists and turns he took them through (horns, folk/blues arrangements, as well his numerous solo excursions) produced some good music, but it was mostly too scattershot and lacked focus.
Kuepper left to form the arty Laughing Clowns and eventually made a number of records as a solo act.

There is no shortage of stellar moments on This Is The Magic Mile, but from the get-go it must be said that anybody who has contributed the brilliant tune Everything I've Got Belongs To You, is worthy of their place in Australian rock celebrity.
