Didn't work for you Casper did it?
From 'thisisn'thappiness'(Backstory: Jade (the most beautiful cat in the world) a couple of years ago presented me with one surviving kitten on my birthday. Casper (the friendly white kitten) is now the BIGGEST
cat known to mankind and will not move for anything, least of all something as pathetic as a laser-pointer!)

Press Release:
NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS announce the first of a string of summer festival appearances.
The band, featuring Ed Kuepper on guitar, will headline at German festivals Southside (Neuhausen Ob Eck) and Hurricane (Scheesel) in June, and at Oxegen Festival in Ireland on 11th July 2009.
Kuepper, formerly of Australian bands The Saints and Laughing Clowns, completes the current Bad Seeds live line up of Warren Ellis, Martyn Casey, Thomas Wydler, Jim Sclavunos and Conway Savage.
Kuepper has been, and continues to be, a significant influence on contemporary Australian music. He formed the original version of the proto punk band The Saints in 1973 whilst in high school and when the original Saints split he formed what, in the eyes of many, was an even bolder enterprise - Laughing Clowns.
The Clowns broke up in 1984 and Kuepper launched a prolific solo career which has seen the release of more than 20 albums and several film and soundtrack projects. His latest studio recording was 'Jean Lee and the Yellow Dog' in 2007
This full schedule of festival dates promises to include some of the best and most exciting festivals that Europe and the British Isles have to offer. More very soon.
