The Church performing Reptile live at Enmore Theatre in Sydney on 17 December 2011

On their 30th Anniversary the church continue to redefine what it is to be a band, evolving without compromise into one of the world's most acknowledged rock groups. Guiding the band though the '80s and '90s with a combination of chemistry, talent and a desire for excellence, their unique and distinctive guitar sounds and thought-provoking lyrics have succeeded in inspiring both the audience and the critics' imagination the world over. In recent years the band have continued on their creative trajectory and with their induction into the 2010 ARIA Hall Of Fame, they have been able to reflect on their huge body of work as they continue to be prolific and pursue their artistic aspirations both live and in the studio.

From the debut album Of Skins and Heart (including their first hit The Unguarded Moment) to the artistically and commercially successful Starfish, charting high in both Australia and the USA, (featuring the ubiquitous Under The Milky Way and guitar driven Reptile), through to 2009′s lush, organic masterpiece Untitled #23, lead vocalist and bassist Steve Kilbey, guitarists Peter Koppes and Marty Willson-Piper and drummer Tim Powles (now an active member of the band for 17 years), have continued as the church through three whole decades to pleasure their fans with a unerring sense of space, melody, beat driven prose and sonic charm.

Rolling Stone Australia gave their last album Untitled #23 an unprecedented 5 star review -- "a stunningly ambitious album of shimmering rock". In the USA Rolling Stone commented, "the church have truly reaffirmed themselves as one of the world's leading melodic art-rock bands, regarded by critics as "a powerful, progressive force in rock music", playing "the most ethereal sounds this side of paradise" and have remained one of the world's most innovative and enigmatic groups justifying praises from the press including "Best guitar band on Earth", "Sonic perfection", "Sounds that caress the senses". "A masterpiece of stealth".

Were these guys big in Australia? My dad raised me on their music and I love them, but they were before my time so I have no idea.

I love the Church. Always have. Great guitar duo. But I always thought they played too loud live. So loud it often became wishy washy. I don't know whether that's how they wanted it or whether the dude at the mixing desk was deaf. That's probably a little blasphemous, particularly as I'm a gigging guitarist. But that's my thoughts. I did a gig at Penrith Leagues, Evan Theatre, night after the Church supported the pretenders. I asked the resident sound guy how the Church were. 'Way too loud'. Anyway I still love em and Milky Way is still my all time favourite song.

Drummer is sucking on the groove here ... there is no push like the recorded track - it's lagging ... Tim was the man for this band.

Reminds me of when I was in High School in 1990. My friend and I would scream the lyrics while driving around Colorado.
