    The media release says the tour coincides with the release of The Saints' “’(I’m) Stranded’ boxset, a deluxe four-disc set available on both LP and CD, which serves as “the final word on album that is one of the all-time great Australian records and as well as an all-time classic punk rock record."

    This boxset is long, long overdue. It is essential. And I hope they release a record of these current shows. Put me down for two, thanks.

    On stage: original members Ed Kuepper and Ivor Hay, with Peter Oxley (a former Sunnyboywho's been playing alongside Kuepper for seven years or more), Mick Harvey(former Birthday Party/Bad Seedsand expert musical arranger and accompanist) and Mark Arm(best known for Mudhoney, but similarly accomplished with a wide variety of bands).
