The Church (band)
The Church, an Australian alternative rock band, formed in Sydney in 1980.
Initially associated with new wave, neo- psychedelia and indie rock, their music later came to feature slower tempos and surreal soundscapes reminiscent of dream pop and post-rock.
Glenn A. Baker has written that" From the release of the' She Never Said' single in November 1980, this unique Sydney- originated entity has purveyed a distinctive, ethereal, psychedelic- tinged sound which has alternatively found favour and disfavor in Australia."
The" Los Angeles Times" has described the band's music as" dense, shimmering, exquisite guitar pop".
The founding members were Steve Kilbey on lead vocals and bass guitar, Peter Koppes and Marty Willson- Piper on guitars and Nick Ward on drums.
Ward played only on their debut album, and the band's drummer for the rest of the 1980s was Richard Ploog.
Jay Dee Daugherty( ex- Patti Smith Group) played drums from 1990 to 1993, followed by" timEbandit" Tim Powles( ex- The Venetians), who remains with them to the present day.
Koppes left the band from 1992 to 1997, and Willson- Piper left in 2013.
Ian Haug, formerly of Powderfinger, replaced him.
Kilbey, Koppes and Powles also recorded together as in 1997.
The Church's debut album," Of Skins and Heart"( 1981), delivered their first radio hit," The Unguarded Moment", and they were signed to major labels in Australia, Europe and the United States.
However, the US label, dissatisfied with their second album, dropped the band without releasing it.
This put a dent in their international success, but they returned to the charts in 1988 with the album" Starfish" and the US Top 40 hit" Under the Milky Way".
Subsequent mainstream success has proved elusive, but the band retains a large international cult following and were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in Sydney in 2010.
The Church continue to tour and record, releasing their 25th studio album," Man Woman Life Death Infinity", in October 2017.
