The Church

In March 2015, during their SXSW live performance at Emo's, The Church was promoting their album "Further/Deeper," which was released in 2014. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it showcased their continued evolution in sound while retaining their signature blend of lush melodies and atmospheric rock. Interestingly, "Further/Deeper" reflects the band's long-standing commitment to creating intricate music, even after over three decades in the industry. The set at SXSW highlighted not only their classic hits but also new material, emphasizing their relevance and adaptability in a rapidly changing music landscape. Despite their enduring legacy and recognition in the ARIA Hall of Fame, The Church remains a somewhat niche band internationally, which adds to their mystique and cult status among fans. Their performance at such a prominent festival illustrated their ability to captivate audiences with both nostalgia and fresh artistry.
