Ed Kuepper (The Saints) and Jim White (Dirty Three) release their much anticipated collaborative album After the Flood. The record is a reimagined history of Ed’s career to date, including songs from The Saints, The Laughing Clowns, and his solo work.
In April, Ed Kuepper will tour Australia solo for the first time in five years, playing 15 dates across April and May. Further tour details and ticket info below!
The intention for the pairing was to play a few casual shows together in 2020, but the onset of Covid and a turbulent touring schedule saw them perform two sold out nights at the Sydney Opera House and fluke the only gig at Rising before the Melbourne festival was cancelled. From this chaos, a bond was forged that sent them into the studio.
”The record came out of the Covid era touring that Jim and I did. Initially I just wanted Jim to play some shows with me but it became an opportunity to sonically process some of the stuff that was going through my head at that time,” said Ed.
“The tour itself functioned like a guerrilla operation, with shows cancelled at the last minute due to border closures. When we were on stage, we both thought it worked too well not to record it. The sessions were great and we recorded far more than would fit on a single disc thanks to Idge at Soundpark Recording. The title references the 2022 Brisbane floods as does Judi Kuepper’s terrific cover art.”
