The Church

In January 1988, The Church were riding high on the success of their album "Starfish," which was released later that year. At this point in their career, the band was gaining international recognition, especially with their hit single "Under the Milky Way." This live recording from Italy showcases the band's ethereal sound and their ability to captivate audiences through both their music and performance. The lineup during this period included founding members Steve Kilbey, Peter Koppes, Marty Willson-Piper, and drummer Richard Ploog, who collectively contributed to the band's significant sound characterized by jangly guitars and atmospheric lyrics. An interesting fact related to this period is that "Starfish" would later become one of their most successful albums, elevating their status in the alternative rock scene of the late '80s and helping them secure a dedicated fan base.
