Last autumn, Ed Kuepper toured Australia with a reconfigured line-up of punk pioneers The Saints, fronted by Mudhoney’s Mark Arm.
Concentrating on the band’s early material – hence the moniker Saints ’73-’78 – the five-piece added a horn section for their shows at Brisbane’s Princess Theatre, the highlights of which are now being released on a new digital-only EP entitled Nights In Venice Live… Vol. 1, due out tomorrow (May 2).
