Seminal Australian favourites, The Church are currently in America, touring with fellow influential alt rockers Afghan Whigs. Australian fans will have to wait until late November to see The Church on their ‘Already Yesterday’ tour, celebrating the band’s first 4 albums. Throughout the year, Universal Music will re-release ‘Of Skins & Heart’, ‘The Blurred Crusade’, ‘Séance’, and ‘Heyday’ on vinyl and decided it would be a great idea to focus on those 4 albums on a tour full of Church hits.
Famously known for wanting to play his newer material rather than his old stuff, thankfully Church frontman Steve Kilbey has become wiser and more philosophical about the prospect of playing legendary songs such as The Unguarded Moment’, ‘Almost With You’ & ‘Electric Lash’. In our latest chat, he has vowed to enjoy playing the back catalogue, as well as slotting in the band’s latest material from albums such as The Hypnogogue and Eros Zeta and the Perfumed Guitars.
Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips caught up with Steve Kilbey, who was in Austin, Texas finishing off yet another new Church album. In this video interview they discuss the new album, the first four Church albums and the impending ‘Already Yesterday’ tour.
