Live Delay - Ep 269 - The Aints Pt 2 by 4ZZZ Live Delay

The Aints

The Aints were formed by Ed Kuepper who formed the legendary The Saints in Brisbane which became one of the world’s first punk bands.

There are two iterations of The Aints, they first popped up on the scene in the early 90’s and released a few EP’s before peetering out in ‘94 after an album was recorded but never released.

The Aints as a name is from the old days when an S had worn off the kick drum which originally said The Saints.

For this recent stint in the music world, Kuepper recruited the best of the best to formulate a band which would tear through The Saints back catalogue as well as their own material.

Kuepper recruited Peter Oxley from The Sunnyboys on bass, Paul Larsen Loughead from The Celibate Rifles and The New Christs on the drums, Alister Spence on piano and Eamon Dilworth arranging the brass and on trumpet.

If you’re a keen listener or just a diehard fan you might want to jump back a few episodes to Episode 267 where we featured the first half of this recording of all classic The Saints songs.

This episode however, will feature the second half of that gig where they played the entire set of the new Aints material to an eager crowd.

The Aints in 2018 released an album called The Church of Simultaneous Existence which was an epic piece of work and well received by fans so much so that the title track placed at number 90 in the coveted 4ZZZ Hot 100 of 2018.

Recorded live at The Triffid on the 27th of October in 2018
