The Exploding Universe of Ed Kuepper returns to stages this April in celebration of there mastered reissued vinyl release of 1992’s ARIA winning (Best Independent release) solo effort Black Ticket Day plus Law Of Nature, the 1984 post-punk classic from Kuepper's influential post-Saintsoutfit, Laughing Clowns. 

Released on March 1st and available for pre-order now, Black Ticket Day and Law Of Nature join further solo efforts Frontierland, the previously unreleased Mr. MiraKle, Honey Steels Gold and Electrical Storm as a part of Kuepper's recent collaboration with with Melbourne’s Remote Control records.

"Kuepper's purple patch of the first half of the 1990s is something extraordinary, and Black Ticket Day (1992) is a jewel in his crown. It's as expansive as its predecessor Honey Steel's Gold yet more electric; features pop gems "It's Lunacy" and "Real Wild Life" but also wig-outs like "Blind Girl Stripper" and "All My Ideas Run to Crime". Law of Nature (1984) is a heat-haze of an album, drawing as Kuepper has said on memories of growing up in the semi-rural suburbs of Brisbane. It manages to find a perfect fit for the experiental colours of earlier Laughing Clowns releases within a set of disciplined song-forms. A classic of Australian post-punk featuring the original recording of 'EternallyYours.'" -John Encarnacao, author, Ed Kuepper's Honey Steel's Gold for 33 1/3.For the April tour Kuepper will again feature drummer Mark Dawson, bassist Peter Oxley plus pianist and solo artist Alister Spence and brass arranger Eamon Dilworth.“The band is blistering; Peter Oxley and Mark Dawson are locked in as tight as Superglue stuck between two fingers. Alister Spence is masterful on keys. Eamon Dilworth on trumpet brings echoes of Miles Davis’s “Sketches in Spain” set to a solid backbeat. It rocks.”-i94bar.com‍"This was a mesmerising performance with Kuepper’s band, containing decades of experience, delivering a thrilling set that was like a greatest hits collection. Celebrating the release on vinyl of two of his solo albums (‘Honey Steel’s Gold’ and ‘Electrical Storm’), Kuepper solo work is a brilliant mix ofthe esoteric, jazz, psychedelic and absolute unadorned commercial pop –sometimes all within one song."-Backstreet Mafia
