Hard to believe that this landmark album started out as a planned EP release only, because the whole of it seamless & necessary… Harder still to believe that this performance was itself the opening slot before Died Pretty came out to recreate Doughboy Hollow …the lucky punters must have felt they’d died & gone straight ta heaven. It’s a bloody miracle, I tell ya. Click on the podcast, ‘cause hearing is believing.

Hard to believe that this landmark album started out as a planned EP release only, because the whole of it seamless & necessary …even harder to believe that it was recently performed live as part of the “Don’t Look Back” series (Aussie style). “Honey Steels Gold”, released in ’91, was where Kuepper veered from the style of his previous bands The Saints & The Laughing Clowns, and rose up with something new, altogether masterful. As a result, it was the first Australian indie album to break on thru the top 40 and then stayed there for a year.

Harder still to believe that this performance was itself the opening slot before Died Pretty came out to recreate Doughboy Hollow …the lucky punters must have felt they’d died & gone straight ta heaven. It’s a bloody miracle, I tell ya. Click on the podcast, ‘cause hearing is believing. If you enjoy this excerpt, you can thank GT, who recorded it, by buying him a slab or 2 of KB Gold.
