I OFFER FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE THIS SCARCE OZ ALBUM OF
LAUGHING CLOWNS
HISTORY OF ROCK N' ROLL VOLUME ONE
Ed Keupper's Laughing Clowns were a bit more off the beaten path than The Saints, the infamous Australian punk band Keupper played guitar for during the '70s. Integrating jazz influences into their unique take on post-punk, the Laughing Clowns released several records between 1980 and 1985, before Keupper began his solo career. They made their debut in 1980 with a self-titled, six-song EP on Aussie independent Missing Link. At the time of its recording, the band was Keupper on vocals and guitar, Ben Wallace on bass, Dan Wallace on piano, Jeffrey Wegner on drums, and Bob Farrell on saxophone. In 1982, after the release of a clutch of singles and a compilation of old material, called Reign of Terror/Throne of Blood, the group relocated to London and underwent some major lineup shuffling. Only Keupper and Wegner remained on board, with bassist Leslie Millar, saxophonist Louise Elliot, and trumpet player Peter Doyle filling out the lineup. After another single, they released their 1982 debut LP, Mr. Uddich Schmuddich Goes to Towm, on the Prince Melon label.
