MUDHONEY’s Mark Arm has replaced the late Chris Bailey in The Saints.
In one of the bigger announcements by any Australian rock band this year, the punk pioneers will reform in November for a national tour.
Original members, guitarist Ed Kuepper and drummer Ivor Hay, will be joined by the Seattle icon Arm, 62, along with Sunnyboys bassist Peter Oxley and Birthday Party/Bad Seeds guitarist Mick Harvey.
The Saints ’73-’78 Tour will focus on the albums I’m Stranded, Eternall Yours and Prehistoric Sounds.
Bailey died in 2022 of natural causes.
“It’s great to be given the opportunity to run through this set of songs again and especially the chance to work with a group of people of the calibre of Mark, Mick, Pete and especially Ivor, who is one of the most distinctive drummers I’ve had the pleasure to work with,” Kuepper said in a media release.
“I’m feeling chuffed that they’re all on board for this. We’ll be concentrating exclusively on material from and around the first three albums, including stuff that hasn’t been performed live in Australia before… or, at least, for a pretty long time… very much looking forward to this. Catch us if you can, pop fans.”
