Brisbane based Kuepper’s work with The Saints in the 70s pre-empted The Clash, The Damned and The Sex Pistols, announcing the advent of punk, despite Kuepper steadfastly maintaining a cautious distance from that scene. Through the early 80s he ventured into new musical territory with his post-punk outfit Laughing Clowns.
Ed Kuepper has released 20 studio albums under his own name since 1986, winning two ARIA Awards along the way. He toured the USA, UK and Europe in 2025 with The Saints ’73-78 and they return to tour the UK alongside The Damned later in 2026.
