Description

The first biography of a much-admired Australian rock band, The Church, and their enigmatic frontman, Steve Kilbey. Writing with the full involvement of Kilbey and other members of the group, Lurie covers the band from their formation in the early 1980s through their years of chart success to their current role as oddball elder statesmen of the rock scene. Robert Lurie makes good use of the access he was given to deliver a compelling, warts-and-all portrait of a rock band.

Reviews

Lurie's interviews capture quite a bit of Kilbey's daily life, past and present, and in so doing, open doors to readers who might otherwise not have an interest in a musician with whose music they may only feign familiarity. The nice assemblage of personal photographs printed throughout the text adds an authenticity and completeness to the book. -- Publishers Weekly "July 2009"
