Ed Kuepper has been announced as the new guitarist for the Bad Seeds. He replaces Mick Harvey who, as previously reported, recently quit the band “for a variety of personal and professional reasons”.
Kuepper is going to have his work cut out for him, he has just performed a series of shows with his former band, The Saints, and has announced a reunion show for another former band, jazz punkers The Laughing Clowns, at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival in April, before heading out for festival dates with Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds in June and July.
