Two-time inductee into the Australian Music Hall of Fame, founding member of both seminal proto-punks The Saints and avant-garde post-punk pioneers Laughing Clowns AND owner of 15+ solo albums, singer-guitarist Ed Kuepper teams up with the drummer’s drummer Jim White (Dirty Three, The Hard Quartet, Xylouris White) as they tackle the best of Kuepper’s extensive oeuvre.
The shows come on the back of After the Flood, the debut album for the duo released on 12XU records, the boutique label of Matador Records founder Gerard Cosloy. Released in March 2025 After the Flood features eight Kuepper originals spanning his entire career. “Speaking as a massive fan of both Ed Kuepper & Jim White — in virtually every endeavor they’ve been a participant — news of their studio collaboration hit me like a ton of bricks. That their respective skill-sets (uncannily cooperative) would be fully showcased was not a surprise, but the deft reimagining of Kuepper’s songbook (a carefully curated portion, anyway) was more than I could’ve hoped for. I don’t think there’s a more powerful album this year (and if there is, please forward me a link)”

Mick Harvey, the legendary founding member and multi-instrumentalist for both the hugely influential The Birthday Party and The Bad Seeds, as well as spending time as a collaborator with PJ Harvey, Rowland Howard and many others. Mick also boasts a solo career which is now some 13 albums strong and along with Kuepper, Mick features in the reinvigorated The Saints ’73-’78. This too will be Mick’s first ever US solo show.

Shelley Burgon is one of the most accomplished and sought-after performers and collaborators in the world of avant-garde and new music. Her interpretations of works by composers such as Pauline Oliveros, John Cage, Morton Subotnick, and Cornelius Cardew, as well as her collaborations with artists as diverse as Bjork, Anthony Braxton, and Fred Frith have shown her to be an artist with an extraordinary ability to get to the core of the music, surpassing the limitations of technical mastery with a transcendent sense of nuance and feel. Over the years, Burgon’s own compositions, including works for groups such as The Merce Cunningham Dance Company and The Ne(x)tworks Ensemble featuring Joan LaBarbara, have demonstrated these intangible qualities with even greater clarity and shown her to be an artist with a deeply personal, spiritual vision.

In Downtown 81, the unmistakable / elemental aspects of the vocal and guitar work that would mark Lindsay’s 40+ year career are already on full display. Alongside Mori and Wright (& Robin Crutchfield) he helped define the No Wave movement. Appearing with Basquiat in the film- a taste of the heavy intersection of art /music / street art in late 70’s / early 80’s NYC.
