Here is a nice obituary by my old mate and sparring partner Andrew Stafford - like Bailey, a Brisbane boy.

I always rather liked this one from a couple of years later
I guess in some ways they were kind of an Antipodean Stranglers, in that they predated punk, but were so stylistically in tune with it that they were labelled punk almost by default. Fond of a lot of Ed Kuepper's subsequent output, but there's something special in those first few Saints records for sure.
RIP Chris
