Ed Kuepper

Ed Kuepper is an Australian guitarist, singer and songwriter. He co-founded the seminal punk band The Saints, the experimental post-punk group The Laughing Clowns and later The Aints. He has also recorded over a dozen albums in his own name with a variety of backing bands, notably The Yard Goes On Forever, The Oxley Creek Playboys and The Institute Of Nude Wrestling. Kuepper was awarded ARIAs (the Australian version of the Grammy) in 1993 and 1994 for Best Independent Australian Release (and nominated for similar awards in 1992, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998). He was probably Australia's most prolific recording artist in the early nineties. In recent years, Kuepper has been involved in soundtracking radio drama and experimental films.
