THE CHURCH

Few bands enter their fifth decade of making music with all the fierce  creative energy of their early years. Even fewer bands are like The Church. 

Experiencing a renaissance of sorts with their worldwide critically-hailed 26th album The Hypnogogue and its companion 27th album (that also serves as a  worthy standalone) Eros Zeta and the Perfumed Guitars, The Church has  witnessed their continued impact to astonishingly grow exponentially in  audience size and media attention through not only their new albums but a  world tour that took them through North America, the UK, Europe and back  home to Australia. Coupled with the 2024 vinyl re-issues of their first four  albums – Of Skins & Heart, The Blurred Crusade, Séance, and Heyday – their most recent Australian tour was one of their most successful tours to  date. The band also launched an exclusive fan community via a partnership  with The Chorus, aptly named nightfriends. It is a first for this storied band  – an online experience where fans can receive first dibs on concert and new  release presales, have access to unreleased songs/demos/live cuts, never before-seen live show video content and concert films, behind-the-music  essays about the creation of pivotal albums, exclusive band Q&As and Forum  interactions, and much more.  

2025 is turning into a banner year for the band, getting ready to turn the  page and both explore new music and celebrate their impressive catalog  with a slew of live dates. Kicking off with their first-ever ‘Singles-centric’ tour this Summer in North America, they will be digging into their catalogue and  playing the songs that launched them into mainstream consciousness, including “Metropolis,” “Ripple,” “C’est La Vie”, and of course, “Reptile” and  “Under the Milky Way.” They also have a new album – their 28th! – planned  for release later this year.

The renowned five-piece line-up is made up of bassist, vocalist and founder  Steve Kilbey, along with long-time collaborator, drummer, and producer Tim  Powles (a member since 1994), guitarist Ian Haug, multi-instrumentalist  Jeffrey Cain, and guitarist Ashley Naylor. The Church continue to remain a  treasured creative force.
