The Church frontman and Australian music icon Steve Kilbey has announced he is returning to Western Australia in May to play a couple of The Church’s classic albums Of Skins and Heart and Séance in order and in their entirety.
Joining long time musical friends and a string section, Steve Kilbey and The Hoffmenn With Strings Attached are comprised of a hand picked band of Fremantle music identities including Shaun & Adrian Hoffmann, Shaun Corlson, Anna Sarcich on viola and Rachael Aquilina on violin. The shows will hit The River Hotel, Margaret River on Thursday, May 13; Albany Entertainment Centre on Friday, May 14; and Astor Theatre, Perth on Sunday, May 16.
When The Church released their debut album Of Skins and Heart in 1981, it propelled them to national attention and significant radio play, in particular with the stand out hit The Unguarded Moment.
Séance is the third album by The Church, released in 1983. More atmospheric and brooding for the grass roots fans, it features popular tracks Electric Lash, No Reason, One Day and more. Steve Kilbey and the band will finish the shows with a selection of his classic songs and fan favourites.
