One of rock’s most combustible duos – Chris Bailey and Ed Kuepper from The Saints – will hit the road in May for a series of stripped back residencies in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
Despite years of tension – some of which reared its head at the band’s performance at All Tomorrow’s Parties in Mt Buller – the pair will perform a selection of collaborative tracks from their back catalogue, as well as songs from their respective solo recordings. They will perform three weekly shows in each city: at Bennetts Lane in Melbourne, The Troubadour in Brisbane and The Vanguard in Sydney. Dates below.
Prior to setting off on the road, the pair will record stripped back and reworked tracks from the upcoming tour for release as an acoustic offering via the Liberation Blue label.
Tickets on sale via Moshtix or the venues on Monday (April 12).

photo would've been better without the roadie.
that's not a roadie. it's the fluffer.
i hope they travel in a tarago van from city to city....that'd be 11,000kms by my reckoning. docco anyone??
does anyone else think Chris looks like me grandma?
Granny has less dye in her hair.
Bailey looks like he really really likes Nick Cave.
Nick Cave Is Stranded.
the way the shows are organised it almost seems like some prank to make the promoter suffer by flying bailey and kuepper and their help up and down the east coast a bunch of times.
Bennetts?? Sweet!
The best show I've ever seen in my life was Ed stripped back and solo in a small pub so I hold high hopes for this.
Hope Chris does some shit off Savage Entertainment. I really like that album for some reason.
I think Bailey really really NEEDS Nick Cave
what does that mean?
me too. great unheralded album.
I hope Ol' Bailey leaves his pyjamas at home this time.
Kuepper's smiling!! Or maybe he's smirking. Hard to tell.
it's a trick of the beard, frankie
No, I'm sure he's smiling... I know, it's never been witnessed before. Don't be scared!
I've seen the man smile, just very rarely near Baily.
EK isn't smiling. He's just plain p#$%ed by the looks of him. No wonder then the reunion is on. Looking forward to the gigs at the Vanguard
the between-song banter may well be a highlight...
Come on, stop making such a big deal about Ed smiling, it's widely known that he smiled for the back cover photo for Rooms of the Magnificent in 1986 so it's hardly unprecedented.

In the brief period of time a lifetime ago when I wrote for streetpress, my very first interview was with Ed Kuepper and I was scared shitless. But not only did he treat me very gently but he smiled quite a bit.
Ed has some of the best jokes.
anyone unable to contain their excitement about this? i'm going alright at containing mine
i figure if i go in there with no expectations i might be pleasantly surprised
Just got my ticket for the 30th at Bennetts Lane. I really have to stop buying tickets for shows in Melbourne though.
hm, a few nice moments but generally pretty missable i thought
having kuepper play guitar and sing backing vocals on just like fire would was pretty alternate universe, likewise bailey on car headlights
it was the first one so perhaps they'll hit their stride later on
Damn I'm glad I found this, I'm not missing an alternative universe like that
