THE SAINTS '73-'78, CHIMERS

The Princess Theatre, Brisbane

Monday, 25 November 2024

In mid-2024, founding members Ed Kuepper and Ivor Hay reformed The Saints to tour the 50th anniversary of (I'm) Stranded. The band features Mick Harvey of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Peter Oxley of Sunnyboys and Mark Arm from Mudhoney.

"The set is a dream run through the band’s early catalogue. Helped by a brass section that trots on and off the stage, the songs visit two camps. There are the big, driving ballads from Prehistoric Sounds: ‘Chameleon’, ‘The Prisoner’ and ‘All Times Through Paradise’. And there are the very best of the short, sharp tunes scattered across the first two albums: ‘(I’m) Stranded’, ‘No Time’, ‘Know Your Product’ and ‘This Perfect Day’.” - Robert Forster (Go-Betweens)
