Musik<p>2026 marks the 50th year as a recording artist for legendary Australian musician Ed Kuepper. To celebrate he is taking to the road with The Exploding Universe (of Ed Kuepper) a full band performance featuring the added talents of drummer Mark Dawson, bassist Peter Oxley, keyboard player Alister Spence and brass arranger Eamon Dilworth as they tackle material from right across Ed’s illustrious 50-year career.</p><p>From the release of The Saints epochal 7" (I’m) Stranded in August 1976, via the genre-defying Laughing Clowns, an ARIA award winning solo career spanning some 30+ stand alone albums / compilations and live recordings, side journeys into The Aints, The Aints! and movie soundtracks plus continued sonic exploration via collaborations with Dirty Three drummer Jim White and jazznerds Asteroid Ekosystem, to a recent world tour back where is all began with The Saints ’73-’78; Ed Kuepper has forged, flourished and conquered the recorded medium many times over.</p><p>“For me Ed is a prime mover, a musician who has transformed music numerous times over, always swimming upstream, always seeking new terrain, always creating on his own terms. It’s a vast, singular body of work, no one else could have produced it. I get the same pleasure listening to Ed as I do listening to Neil Young or John Martyn or Patti Smith or Michael Rother.” - Steve Cross / Remote Control records</p><hr><p style="text-align: center;"><em>We honour and acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live.
