Ed Kuepper & Jeffrey Wegener
Ed Kuepper, an Australian guitarist, singer and songwriter co-founded the seminal punk band The Saints, the experimental post-punk group The Laughing Clowns and later the grunge-like The Aints. He has also recorded over a dozen albums in his own name with a variety of backing bands, notably Ed Kuepper and the Yard Goes On Forever, Ed Kuepper and his Oxley Creek Playboys, Ed Kuepper and The Kowalski Collective just to name a few. He was probably Australia's most prolific recording artist in the early nineties.
In recent years, Kuepper has been involved in sound tracking radio drama and experimental films. Ed Kuepper's most recent release is the 2007 album Jean Lee and the Yellow Dog, which is loosely based on the story of Jean Lee who was the last woman hanged in Australia, and features amongst others, performances by Jeffrey Wegener (Laughing Clowns), Peter Oxley (Sunnyboys), Warren Ellis (Dirty Three), and Chris Bailey (The Saints). Jeffrey Wegener is going to accompany Ed Kuepper on stage at Vip INmusic festival 2008.
