For now that would be any remaining t-shirts from the recent Summer Fun tour plus a literal handful off leftovers from previous tours. There are CDs and DVDs for sale as well.

THE AINTS! ADD MARRICKVILLE BOWLS

Posted on: by

Surprise! The Aints! return to Sydney this April for a final appearance before the recording of their debut album ‘The Church Of Simultaneous Existence’ in May.

This time though Ed, Pete, Paul and Alister will be presenting an epic two-set show; the first set comprised of material conceived and / or recorded in Australia and the years 1973 – 1977 and the second set covering the material written or released by Kuepper for The Saints during 1977 – 1978 and the band’s tenure in the U.K. In effect; more Aints! and more Saints! Completing this alchemy of Herr Kuepper’s teenage blues is a name change with the band from here on in to be known as The Aints! (exclamation mark included). It all goes down Friday 27th April at the Marrickville Bowling Club with limited tickets available from Thursday March 15th via feelpresents.com

See you all again another time?
