Mark on Tour with The Saints '73-'78

The Saints are reforming as The Saints '73-'78 to play shows, and Mark will be singing with them on an Australian tour (singer Chris Bailey passed away). Show information is on the Tour page.

Here's the press release, with a quote from Mark:

Featuring founding members, guitarist Ed Kuepper and drummer Ivor Hay, The Saints '73-'78 are joined by honorary Saints; singer Mark Arm of the legendary Mudhoney, bassist Peter Oxley of Sunnyboys fame and former The Birthday Party / Bad Seeds guitarist Mick Harvey as they recreate the sounds of The Saints hugely influential first three albums (I'm) Stranded (1977), Eternally Yours (1978) and Prehistoric Sounds (1978).

"The Saints first three albums rank among the best records ever made. They have been a part of my life since stumbling upon them in the early 80s. Their influence looms large in Mudhoney world. I am stoked, stunned, and humbled that I get to join in on this Rock 'n' Roll Reality Camp with Ed, Ivor, Peter and Mick!"- Mark Arm

The tour coincides with a deluxe 4LP vinyl box set of the iconic (I'm) Stranded album which features that classic alongside all other studio and live performances from 1976-1977 including the previously unreleased original 1976 mix of the album.

"It's been an exhausting yet thrilling process being involved in the creation of this box set. It's been 51 years in the making and has possibly turned out even better than I anticipated. It's by far the most extensive appraisal of the band, both aurally and visually, that has ever been made available and hopefully reveals some things people may not have known about the band." - Ed Kuepper

Tickets for The Saints '73-'78 are on-sale 12pm Friday 14th. Check feelpresents.com for all ticketing and (I'm) Stranded deluxe edition pre-sale links.
