Interview with Steve Kilbey of The Church

Jason Reed of Inner Edge Music sat down for an in-depth interview with Steve Kilbey of The Church at the The Catalyst Club in Santa Cruz, California this week. They chatted about the band's current tour and upcoming album (entitled "Man Woman Life Death Infinity") to be released on October 6th. They also talked, amongst other topics, about that uniquely 20th Century "right of passage" experience (that all music lovers have faced) of having one's album purchases be judged by "holier than thou" record store clerks! inneredgemusic.com/stevekilbey...

Been listening to the church since '82'. This band really was shorted larger stardom. They need a star on walk of fame.

[@makhayahailey]

Australian music royalty right there. And SK actually looked like he appreciated the quality of the interviewer. Great Questions

👍👍👍

I first saw The Church many decades ago, early 1980s - and many times since. Enigmatic - Steve Kilby has gained wisdom over the decades. Over the past few years, I see the Bill Nighy performance as Billy Mack in Love Actually as being very Steve Kilby-like - both performance and interviews. It’s an odd coincidence. Keep going Steve!

Songs are deep and take you places.

[@chrisknowlton9460]

Great interviewer. Saw his Mark Burgess interview too. Great questions. He really compliments his subjects, which they appreciate. Us fans do too.

[@criskity]

‘Under the Boardwalk’ ~ I wanted that single for my 14th birthday

[@BasswipeNC]

I think the Church DNA in large part is Steve's vocals. His voice is the Church. You can hear his accent unlike a lot of artist with an accent.

[@michelebravin2248]

Ahahahah....that’s so true about the import records and the hi-fi store ! Great Steve !

[@artslap7520]

+1 for Jason Reed.

14:50 The capitalistic record companies, lol. Love it.

[@ggkitchener1122]

His accent is UK/ Antipodean with a splash of yank from touring

[@jmacdono]

What a great guy. Such a good band. Steve doesn't really have an Australian accent; I thought all of them were from Australia.

[@krazynite]

Jesse MacDonough they are all Aussies

[@Ramblebar]

He was actually born in England but raised in Australia,and also lots of Australians don't have the super twangy Aussie Yobbo accents,Mr.Kilbey has what a lot of people might call a posh accent!!!

[@lemurvision]

krazynite The band's actually never had all Aussies at any one time: Marty was English, Jay Dee was American and Tim's originally from New Zealand.

[@andersortegren1024]

@@krazynite no, he's from the UK. Moved down under when hew was 3 yrs old.

[@thevelointhevale1132]

Steve now suffering the encroachment of liver spots ... time flies ... I still remember the Church in 1980

[@yeldarbarrow3172]

Saw them in Dallas this past Sunday.... (great time btw) Took a couple zoomed pics of him sent the most in focus one to a friend the next day with the comment "I ain't gay or nothin' but Steve is a pretty good lookin' bloke!" Lol she agreed.... guy is holding up quite well. I'd noticed that, too, I'll be 53 in June so I'm expecting some soon myself.... can't quite say I'm as much of a witty and handsome fellow though lmao!

[@johngonzalez624]

Who is this guy? He's not mean and grumpy anymore!!!

[@duckbrew]

Funny he mentioned Tom Verlaine. Marquee Moon never really resonated with me. Big Star yes. Television meh..

[@lornastrachan9234]
