@ManilaSyndicate; you can say that again: and thank goodness that they don't. who gives a shit about those fakes.rock rock ,rock n roll high school. give us a break what a lot of shit,who cares what school you went too. but not that one....
The Saints really sum up punk better than the pistols, clash etc. Punk, from the beginning was all about DIY. The Saints made their own label, made their own look, made their own amps and even made their own club 2 perfom in for goddness sake.
Punk from the beginning WASN'T all about DIY. That was part of it, and became a bigger element in the early 80s underground, but right from it's earliest stages some of the most pivotal punk acts were major label, as you point out.
Why do people think punk is dead? These guys could survive very well today and all the new punk bands that do, despite popular belief, exist. Fuck we need gigs ha
Brisbane was not the only place that produced good punk music check out all the Australian punk,emphasis on the `AUSTRALIAN` PUNK COMPILATION CD `S around.Don`t get me wrong THE SAINT`S WERE INSPIRATIONAL.. But by no means
The only ones BUCKING the establishment ..Billy orphan Perth punk 76
great band great song, but how Brisbane has changed. A friend now lives in this terrace house at Petrie Terrace, it is renovated and worth around 2 miliion, but still full of memories from the old Brisbane
Ever done something wrong and found yourself walking before too long walls formed by samo faces with attitudes like they're aces quadrophonic more than Sting could be in that film circa '83 herding you around again until you're a leftover man, stranded on your own? Ever felt owned??
Ground-breaking stuff. The Saints filled a void when they hit the scene back in the 70s. The 1st thing I bought when I got my first job was a 4 channel sterio and the way this song jumped from speaker to speaker was amazing- especially with the help of some mind altering substances. I still remember my dad kicking the door in of my sleep-out at 4 in the morning. Priceless stuff.
Great song! Thanks Ed. I'm already playing 'Untitled' for 26 years. Nowadays with 'Het Jankobus Drum & Bas Ensemble'. Before with 'Kobus gaat naar Appelscha'. Hope to see you in the Netherlands.
One thing I remember having had a really depressing effect on me was the first Ramones album. When I heard it [in 1976], I mean it was a great record ... but I hated it because I knew we’d been doing this sort of stuff for years. There was even a chord progression on that album that we used ... and I thought, "Fuck. We’re going to be labeled as influenced by the Ramones", when nothing could have been further from the truth. - Ed Kuepper // (Saints formed in 1973 in a different name until 1974)
@ozseppo If u regret, u can now buy dark side of the moon on vinyl, a mojo reissue. Then u can start all over again, re-experience the 80s, buy the Yngwie albums, get a superstrat with scalloped fingerboard and floyd rose, talk about Vai as the evolution of rock music and that Hendrix was good for his time, but a bit sloppy. Better late than never.
i was there that nite at the 865 club petrui terrace brisbane, The cops shut it down not long after this vid was done .Driven out with other good bands of this era by JOH MAY HE ROT IN HELL.
@SuperJojokelly To be honest there isn't much Australian punk around to put on youtube...I love old school Australian punk but once you get past Radio Birdman and the Saints, your truly struggling to find bands who managed to get music out...Frenzal Rhomb, Screaming Tribesmen, Toys Went Berserk and other have had little to no coverage (Frenzal Rhomb have done well and show that Australians can rebel)...more Australian punk would be welcome from this Scot/Isish old schooler...Slánte
The Saints were amazing for their time. I did get to see a show a few years ago which was the original lineup of The Saints playing the entire I'm Stranded Lp from start to finish with the awesome Melbourne band X playing their entire Staying At Home Lp from start to finish.
If you like this then make sure you check out The Fucken Leftovers from Brisbane Australia
I never heard of them till very recently & i like The Undertones, The Ramones, The Clash & The Boomtown Rats all amazing gr8 punk bands during that explosion of excitement of the seventies of great music. This band (THE SAINTS) is added to my love of punk bands in my music collection.
@dambers1 UK punk started in 1976 my friend...my all time fav band had their first single (since been given the title of the first true punk single ever) in October, 1976...the album I'm Standed was released in February, 1977 (the same month the Clash sold out by signing to CBS)...The Saints released this track independantly in September, 1976...so you are wrong in suggesting The Saints did it before the UK...we all did it at the same time...Punk is dead, but it was fucking fun...Sláinte
@vedicardi What part of "The Saints released this track independantly in September, 1976" did you not understand young man...unlike you, I actually lived through the rise and fall of Punk and have great respect for those Australian bands who came into my life...the truth is that Australia did not produce many bands, and even fewer who actually acheived anything...you stick to Rock Band...if it wasn't for the internet, you wouldn't even know about Australian Punk in the 70's, fact.
@vedicardi Why was I attacking you? That would be because you misread what I wrote, and then wrote up what you thought was a smart comment...as for the bands/internet thing, no it's a very good thing..now explain the "stop being so elitist" comment...what you should have wrote was, "sorry mate, I misread your comment"...I was listening to Radio Birdman and The Staints long before I became an "elitist"..to much Rock Band has messed your eyes up...sorry, still laughing at "elitist"..explain please
@vedicardi No my friend, you are the dick. You made a mistake but couldn't apologise in the correct manner. Anything that follows is of your own making. As for me being alive at the time, it means I don't need to look up the history books, or in your case, the internet, to know what was happening and when it happened. Get your ass back on the Rock Band and maybe one day you too can become a punk. You didn't explain your "elitist" comment, or is it a case that you can't explain it?
@vedicardi Still unable to tell me why I am an "elitist"...know the word but can't form a sentence to argur your point...I am better than you and for this reason...you didn't ask me a question...you my friend made STATEMENT...and here is where you and I differ...if I was wrong I worried have apologised...you are unable to do so because you really have no idea what you are talking about..your first STATEMENT was said as if The Saints actually mean something to you..they mean nothing to you, fact
clip was filmed late 1976 or early 1977-Petrie Mansions, Brisbane. Place got a re-furb after years of neglect-not long after this clip was made. I helped my Dad who was a painter. remember seeing the (i'm) Stranded The Saints written on a wall above a fire place, holes in the floor. Ivor Hay lived there-a sort of small nightclub. Other bands worth listening to which have come out of Brisbane in that era were The (Fucken) Leftovers, The 31st, The Survivors, Razar, The Riptides, Fun Things
Respect to this band for not homogenizing themselves with the look and sound of late 70s UK punk, however, this is probably what made them less well known here; they reached legendary status anyways! And perhaps they got the last word because their 'look' remained contemporary and perhaps, their sound too. This track will always remain pure class!
I taped this song from the Alan 'Fluff' Freeman show back in '77 and loved it but never bought the album... until last week... it's fucking fantastic! Better late than never I suppose. I checked it out after reading an interview with Mark E. Smith who was praising The Saints to an Aussie journalist (The Fall are touring down under soon). Smith said that The Fall's version of This Perfect Day wasn't as good as the original. I just love the album, it's perfect.

Man, all this stuff about where punk originated. There was stuff that sounded like punk back in the 60s. Some of it even became popular here in the US. Listen to a band like the Standells "Riot On Sunset Strip". But who cares where it originated. Who perfected it? That's what's important. & I think the most perfect "punk" if you want to call it that was this song & the album it came from. Listen to "No Time" or "Nights In Venice". You can't get better than that. BTW, I'm from New York.
Man, I love this song & the whole album. I bought it way back in 1977 when I was 16 yrs old & I still listen to it all the time. The best punk album ever and it don't seem anyone knows them. They start out with this & it never lets up through the whole record.
And everyone told me when I got old I'd be listening to Perry Como.
stranded,once the great band,the saints were,but when they for the first time gathered again and played at old marquee club at wardour st,it was the very only gig I left for beeing boring,strange,but true,tiki from belgrade
I never thought that The Saints were influenced by The Ramones. I remember buying your 1st single at Bleecker Bob's in NYC. After that, I was hooked & couldn't get enough!!!!!
if this isnt more than 400% awesome, nothing is worth living for :D i'm fourteen, and my dad told me about this song. i missed a great stage in punk history!!
I recall a great tune of this guys: "there's someone out to get me, and it started to rain (...) and I fall in rain, once again". can somebody please tell me the song's name? Tnx
You're seriously talking out of an arse that cant write cheques for its brain. For a start the Smiths were mid 80's. Way after the Saints. MC5 I can give some credit for, But the B52's? Get out of your nappies kid. And the Damned were English. And in case you'd overlooked it, The Saint's were Australian.
This is punk rock. Fuck all to do with mohicans or studded jackets. Just no-nonsense couldn't give a fuck rock n roll. The Saints were way ahead of their time. Brilliant band.
@markSTINKS yeah,they were.I say fuck that,too,but those were different times and way of clothing could mean something..before it all became a uniform and when it was brave to walk like that in the streets.now,everything's a trend.fuck that
@markSTINKS I love that about a lot of Australian punk bands. They're pretty much just rock 'n' roll with just a little extra snarl and bad-assness that made 'em "punk". none of the fashion bullshit or the pretense that a lot of punk groups had going on in the U.S. and Europe. Just kick-ass music.
HURRAH HURRAH HURRAH! somebody says it! Stuff The Exploited and their ilk,the compulsory studded leather jacket,the regulation mohawk haircuts that turned punk into a fucking mind narrowing experience in the 80's ; dress all the same, play all (the same, growl all the same. I felt so miserable then,
@markSTINKS I felt I had been conned, pressganged in a movement that had nothing to do with what i felt... so I did what i wanted. No more shaving the sides of my head, no leather jackets nor army boots or DMs nor army trousers... I used to be beaten up by skins and rockers but then I got beaten up by EVERYBODY. I was obviously annoying the local Punk Aristocracy...
@markSTINKS THANK YOU!! Punk dealt with going against the establishment. It was a mode of thinking - not a mode of dressing. Punk eventually became an establishment with rockers in leather studded uniforms and mohawks. The scene lost it's individuality and became a joke. The Saints were purist in the most fundamental sense of the word! Thank god for this band!!
Yes, this is great punk rock and definitely ahead of its time. But do you really need to emphasize your digging by putting down somebody else's style?
Got introduced to this band and song of a alternate music mate of mine when I was about 15 in the early 80's and it hit me like a brick in the head. Look I hear so many Punk arguments about who was first or who was real or best but Punk is different things to different people so what ever your taste or country who gives a ****
@junkposse ,No dont get me wrong WE Brits love Music from all whoever where ever ,But would music fans took any notice of Punk if the Pistols or The Clash ,Damned never been born ,Where did all these Bands Come to be recognise England that's where Rule Britannia

Respect to this band for not homogenizing themselves with the look and sound of late 70s UK punk, however, this is probably what made them less well known here; they reached legendary status anyways! And perhaps they got the last word because their 'look' remained contemporary and perhaps, their sound too. This track will always remain pure class!

I taped this song from the Alan 'Fluff' Freeman show back in '77 and loved it but never bought the album... until last week... it's fucking fantastic! Better late than never I suppose. I checked it out after reading an interview with Mark E. Smith who was praising The Saints to an Aussie journalist (The Fall are touring down under soon). Smith said that The Fall's version of This Perfect Day wasn't as good as the original. I just love the album, it's perfect.

Man, all this stuff about where punk originated. There was stuff that sounded like punk back in the 60s. Some of it even became popular here in the US. Listen to a band like the Standells "Riot On Sunset Strip". But who cares where it originated. Who perfected it? That's what's important. & I think the most perfect "punk" if you want to call it that was this song & the album it came from. Listen to "No Time" or "Nights In Venice". You can't get better than that. BTW, I'm from New York.

Man, I love this song & the whole album. I bought it way back in 1977 when I was 16 yrs old & I still listen to it all the time. The best punk album ever and it don't seem anyone knows them. They start out with this & it never lets up through the whole record.
And everyone told me when I got old I'd be listening to Perry Como.

You're seriously talking out of an arse that cant write cheques for its brain. For a start the Smiths were mid 80's. Way after the Saints. MC5 I can give some credit for, But the B52's? Get out of your nappies kid. And the Damned were English. And in case you'd overlooked it, The Saint's were Australian.

@markSTINKS I love that about a lot of Australian punk bands. They're pretty much just rock 'n' roll with just a little extra snarl and bad-assness that made 'em "punk". none of the fashion bullshit or the pretense that a lot of punk groups had going on in the U.S. and Europe. Just kick-ass music.

Agreed ... They were true punks who refused to allow themselves to be marketed the same way as many of the other sell out punks of the period.
They let their music do the talking.

HURRAH HURRAH HURRAH! somebody says it! Stuff The Exploited and their ilk,the compulsory studded leather jacket,the regulation mohawk haircuts that turned punk into a fucking mind narrowing experience in the 80's ; dress all the same, play all (the same, growl all the same. I felt so miserable then,

@markSTINKS I felt I had been conned, pressganged in a movement that had nothing to do with what i felt... so I did what i wanted. No more shaving the sides of my head, no leather jackets nor army boots or DMs nor army trousers... I used to be beaten up by skins and rockers but then I got beaten up by EVERYBODY. I was obviously annoying the local Punk Aristocracy...

@markSTINKS THANK YOU!! Punk dealt with going against the establishment. It was a mode of thinking - not a mode of dressing. Punk eventually became an establishment with rockers in leather studded uniforms and mohawks. The scene lost it's individuality and became a joke. The Saints were purist in the most fundamental sense of the word! Thank god for this band!!

Got introduced to this band and song of a alternate music mate of mine when I was about 15 in the early 80's and it hit me like a brick in the head. Look I hear so many Punk arguments about who was first or who was real or best but Punk is different things to different people so what ever your taste or country who gives a ****
