ED KUEPPER Ed Kuepper has been announced as the replacement for
Mick Harvey in Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Kuepper will join the
Bad Seeds for a string of European festival appearances starting
in and including headline spots at the Southside & Hurricane
Festivals in Germany and the Oxygen Festival in Ireland.
Kuepper, formerly of Australian bands The Saints and Laughing
Clowns, completes the current Bad Seeds live line up of Warren
Ellis, Martyn Casey, Thomas Wydler, Jim Sclavunos and Conway
Savage.
Kuepper has been, and continues to be, a significant influence
on contemporary Australian music. He formed the original version
of the proto-punk band The Saints in 1973 whilst in high school
and when the original Saints split he formed what, in the eyes
of many, was an even bolder enterprise - Laughing Clowns. The
Clowns broke up in 1984 and Kuepper launched a prolific solo
career which has seen the release of more than 20 albums and
several film and soundtrack projects. His latest studio recording
was 'Jean Lee and the Yellow Dog' in 2007.
This full schedule of festival dates promises to include some of
the best and most exciting festivals that Europe and the British
Isles have to offer.
Before he leaves, however, Kuepper will perform three shows with
the aforementioned Laughing Clowns - recently reunited at the
request of Nick Cave for the inaugural Australian All Tomorrow's
Parties series of festivals - appearing at the Melbourne Jazz
Festival and over two nights at the Basement in Sydney. Joining
the Clowns at both Basement shows will be Juliet Ward and Greg
Appel, the singer and guitarist (respectively) of early eighties
icons The Lighthouse Keepers. This will be the first Sydney
appearance for Juliet & Greg since 2004 when the Lighthouse
Keepers briefly reunited for the launch of the double CD, 'Tales
of the Australian Underground'.
