Ed Kuepper, a German-born Australian who arrived in the world in Bremen in 1955, has spent his career refusing to stand still. He co-founded the punk band the Saints in 1973, then headed into stranger territory with the experimental post-punk of Laughing Clowns, launched in 1979, and in 1991 started the Aints!, a rawer beast with a grungy snarl.
Alongside all that ran a solo career of more than a dozen albums with a rotating set of backing bands, and the early '90s were its high-water mark. Honey Steel's Gold, in November 1991, reached No. 28 on the ARIA albums chart, his best on his own, and Black Ticket Day, Serene Machine and Character Assassination all made the top 50 as well. Black Ticket Day and Serene Machine won him back-to-back ARIA Awards for Best Independent Release in 1993 and 1994, and "Da Di Doh" and "Sleepy Head" are the songs rock radio's countdowns picked up in those same years.
