To describe Ed Kuepper's career in terms of his unique artistic vision is to understate the impact of his significant influence on contemporary music. His career has spanned over 3 decades, beginning in 1973 when he formed the original version of the proto punk band The Saints in Brisbane Australia.

Recording and releasing that groundbreaking bands first single [I'm] Stranded on the bands own label Fatal Records in 1976 and following that up with three albums that refused to fit into any preconceived notions of 'punk' correctness. The albums were recently remastered and gathered together in the 'All times through Paradise 'box set. [EMI Records] When the original Saints split Kuepper returned to Australia and formed what in the eyes of many, was an even bolder enterprise, Laughing Clowns. A band that drew on Kuepper's past but also moved into relatively uncharted territory with its use of horns and Jeffrey Wegener's avant jazz inspired drumming. The bands studio recordings were recently remastered and released as the three disc set 'Cruel but Fair' {Hot Records]

After the Clowns broke up in 1984 Kuepper launched an extensive and prolific solo career which has seen the release of more than 15 albums as well as several soundtracks and music composed for experimental film.
