United States2 years ago - Ed Kuepper The Saints interview
The Saints are such an important and fabulous band and Kuepper is such an articulate, but down-to-earth raconteur. Great interview with Mike Ajax; looking at all the songs on the seminal ‘I’m Stranded’ album and how Kuepper and Chris Bailey created them. Thank you for a joyous listen.
