The Exploding Universe of Ed Kuepper returns with the vinyl reissue of two bona fide classic albums on Friday, 29th March, and an April tour to celebrate. Black Ticket Day and Law Of Nature are available for pre-order now through Remote Control Records.

The two albums follow the recent reissues of Frontierland, Honey Steels Gold and Electrical Storm and the previously unreleased Mr. MiraKle. Black Ticket Day won the ARIA Award for Best Independent Release when it came out in 1992 and features much loved songs, such as the title track and ‘Real Wild Love’. Long out of print, this is the first vinyl reissue since its release over 30 years ago. Available on black or opaque purple vinyl, this is also the first time it will appear on streaming services.

Law Of Nature – the 1984 post-punk classic from Kuepper’s influential post-Saints outfit Laughing Clowns – will be reissued for the first time in over 40 years on black or royal blue vinyl. Long out of print, this will also be the first time it is available on streaming services. Featuring the timeless song ‘Eternally Yours’ the album has long held legendary status.

For the April tour Kuepper’s band will again feature drummer Mark Dawson, bassist Peter Oxley, pianist Alister Spence and brass arranger Eamon Dilworth.

Praise for ED KUEPPER

“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 experiential colours of earlier Laughing Clowns releases within a set of disciplined song-forms. A classic of Australian post-punk featuring the original recording of ‘Eternally Yours’.” – John Encarnacao, author, Ed Kuepper’s Honey Steel’s Gold for 33 1/3

“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 of the esoteric, jazz, psychedelic and absolute unadorned commercial pop –sometimes all within one song.” – Backstreet Mafia
