About The Aints
Formed 1991, Sydney, NSW, Australia Disbanded 1995 Members Ed Kuepper (vocals, guitar), Artie Sledge (bass, 1991), Mark Dawson (drums), Tim Hopkins (saxophone), Kent Steedman (bass, 1991), Tim Reeves (drums, 1991), Pedro Bull (keyboards, 1992-95), Mike Couvret (bass, 1991), Steven King (bass, 1991) The Aints is a band name used by Ed Kuepper during his prolific early 1990s period for loud, feedback-drenched three-piece performance and recordings. The name is a variation on The Saints, the band Kuepper had formed with Chris Bailey in Brisbane in the early 1970s. It apparently derived from an old Saints bass drum head on which the initial letter "S" had worn off. Kuepper has stated his aim with the Aints was to recapture the energy of The Saints in the late 1970s. Although the band's set started with Saints material, the sound of the band was more a driving three-piece with Neil Young-style feedback. The later original material featured saxophone and a more free-form approach.
