I was introduced to The Church 30 years ago when I was a kid. I didn't have a mom and my dad desperately needed a babysitter at the last minute. The girl who usually babysat me was going to The Church concert that night and told my dad the only way she'd be willing to babysit me was if she could take me to the concert with her. I'd been a fan ever since.

@@MrErickloli That's an odd question. I would assume. As I mentioned he "desperately needed a babysitter at the last minute". I was in kindergarten. My mom wasn't home when I got home from kindergarten. By the time my older brother got home from school, my mom still hadn't come back home. My brother left in search for our mom. By the time my dad got home from work, I was still alone, my brother was still searching for our mom, and it was obvious to our dad that our mom had left us. Her clothes and makeup were gone. I don't think being concerned about the cost of a concert ticket was at the top of my dad's mind at the time. So it wasn't a situation where he was able to plan ahead to have a babysitter lined up for that evening. But he needed one, desperately. He probably just gave her a bunch of money, told her to keep an eye on me and ran out the door.

Amazing story. In Sydney we had an excellent band environment - you could see AC/DC, INXS, The Church, Split Enz and so many other bands at normal pubs, usually with no cover charge. Some even played at my university (very inexpensive drinks). I'm glad that you like The Church - I never tire of listening to their music.

My favourite band for nearly 40 years. As a teen I used to buy every piece of vinyl I could because I thought they weren't going to last very long.

Love this band...

I have always had a soft spot for the Church. They were so cool the i was a teenager In Australia n the 1980s. They continue to shine. Their music has lasted very well. Many of their 1980s songs could have been released yesterday. (IMHO). Thanks KEXP for putting this on youtube.

I'm from around San Antonio, TX. From 1987, when I got into them, until about 2004, I could count on one finger the number of actual fans that I knew (talking about myself, of course). When I saw them for the first time in Austin, they had the place PACKED full of people. It was a great show! And, I still don't really know any other fans, despite having seen them several times after that--LOL!

After so many years I have relived all those sensations that The Church was able to transmit, and even today they have surprised me again with their latest works, these guys aged like a good wine, and today it is a pleasure to rediscover their music !! ! long live The Church !!

I met Steve before a show in LA. He is such a nice person. I waited over 30 years to see them play live and it was an awesome show. I Highly recommend seeing them I definitely plan on seeing them again.

Myrrh, 1985 Heyday... acheté à l'époque en vinyl puis en CD. Steve Kilbey a toujours une aussi belle voix. Grand groupe australien.

Its so nice to hear Tim's harmony such a wonderful compliment to Steve's baritone !

I have lost them for some years. Loved them very long. Thanks KEXP, it was the same with LLOYD Cole. Took the records out of the corner and had a big smile in my head.

Cambridge last night, best show in a long time for me. Timing was perfect,spot on.

Emerald haunt in overdrive Nightmare descent into Jericho City Camel dust heralds our arrival New Christ beneath a drumkit moon Brilliant lyrics!!

WOW doubling up the beat👍👍👍👍💓💖👍👍👍

Heyday was my 1st time hearing them. Then ever since till now. Ironically, I've been following Ian's career since the 90's. (Powderfinger, Predators) Now I get to hear two favorites at once. When Heyday came out, my oldest son brought his friends from Brooklyn, NY back to Colorado (Aspen, Snowmass) to ski. His friends were from various places in New England and I hope they planted "The Church " seeds all over those states. This new album, Man Woman Life Death Infiniti, is one of their best. Been listening all day to it.

They are great!!

i love them

Wow. Sounding great and looking good.

Heaven be praised we got a stop gap listening to Heaven before we even get there i.e. The Church

Outstanding boys !

Beautiful live performance. Still sound excellent. Been a fan since Reptile and Under the Milky Way, which are still on my playlists.

Galctic music on this planet going on for decades with this band.

I fell in love with his girlfriend during and after their gig at the Hillsborough in Christchurch. Beautiful redhead we never exchanged name’s. Ethereal music in an unguarded moment.

I was 20 back in 1980 when I first heard 'Unguarded Moment ' .Bought the 45. Lol..

BTW the drummmer is GREAT👍❤️

I suppose this ended up in my feed because I've been watching KEXP shows for others (Dream Wife, Courtney Barnett), and been watching The Church quite a bit in other videos, so I guess KZread put two and two together, and showed me…some guys almost 40 years older than in their prime. But hey, let's see what they've got…

Steve said something about studios 'on your iPhone' ... Some members of Gomez (who also played a blinder of a session on this channel!) actually did that! They recorded an album of some sort entirely on iPhones!

Loved the way they incorporated ‘Within you, Without you’ into Day 5!! Whatever happened to Marty Wilson Piper and the other original lineup?

Peter Koppes toured with them, I believe the other guitarist is Jeffrey Cain of Remy Zero, who possibly may have recently joined the band

@DavidL3998

I think Jeffrey is doing the Church's live performance "utility man" job of guitar, bass and/or keyboards as needed, which was previously done by Craig Wilson. The main guitarists are still Peter Koppes and Ian Haug.
