   Love the e-bow solo and the casual toss of said implement by Koppes. Great version of an excellent song.

   The Church are my all time favourite Australian Band..since they began in 1980..I saw them countless times and was never disappointed..In fact,they are one of my favourites..world wide..Australia didn’t seem to embrace this Band..I will never understand that…Bad Taste in Australia?..I would prefer to see them ‘live’ than ‘ANY’ Aussie Band..bar none..Thank F*** for the Internet..I can see and hear them whenever I want…:)..Thanks for your Music guys..XXX

   I was in my early twenties in the eighties, everybody thinks that their era was the best, yes the fashion sucked but we didn’t notice, but the alternative music scene was fabulous. We were just getting out the punk era and a lot of (GOOD) Australian bands sprung up all over. I loved the eighties and yes I do still reminisce.

   @AsSeenOnCCTV
   Main stream music of the 80s was not crap, unless you call Samantha Fox and Modern Talking main stream music.

   The 80s were the best for music. So many great artist and music came out of the 80′s. What people don’t get is without the 80′s you would not have the music now. Most is written by artist of that time. At least you had Musicians that played and wrote music. AL you have now is singers that cant write a tune.

   @astheticweeds – I was at that show! Brilliant! what an awesome band! I miss the post-punk/new -wave/alt generation as well. So much over -looked music. Going in search of Wire-Train.

   Fantastic version of this song. Live music always sound better than recorded.

    @AsSeenOnCCTV — I think there are more people out there who the 80′s music than admit it. Where else would Glee steal their selections from? Today’s music is void of imagination and life. The 80′s ruled!

    I’ve only seen the Church live twice…in small venues in late ’82. Met and chatted to them both nights. Good guys and an excellent band…thanks for reminding me that I really need to see them again…soon!
    Great to see Richard Ploog once more. I miss his contribution these days. A bit like Bill Berry leaving REM. Wish he’d been playing drum kit rather than congas though!

    I remember it being called “College rock” and “underground music”. It was awesome stuff at an awesome time.

    @beepollen1 You should make the trip to go seem them here in L.A Bee! It’s a pretty intimate venue and who knows how long these boys are going to still be touring given their ages and family situations etc. I totally envy you seeing them in 1986! The must have played a lot of stuff from Heyday which is such a great album. What venue did they play then?

    @Nigelxman keep doubting then, because he was where I am from.

    @scopapa33 I highly doubt Richard Ploog was underrated by anyone. Unknown maybe.

    Ploog was an extremely underrated drummer, and the band itself was always underrated. Good stuff here.

    @chrisbaires no kidding! notice what a wide variety of different bands we had back then! originality, talent, catchy licks, awesome vocals etc. Nowadays, we have to deal with talentless losers like Lady GaGa! These people sing through computers and run their voice through so much shit, they all have that digitilized robot sound. They cant sing, plain and simple. They disguise their vocals and basically pole dance! Thats what has become of music. What ashame! We at least have our classics!!!

    The 80′s was a great era, but these guy’s really stood out!! The guitar work on those albums was extraordinary!! Willson-Piper and Koppes were masters of tone and echo!! And Kilbey’s sultry voice was the perfect compliment. They will never become millionaires, but those of us who recognize the Church as the band they were will always enjoy whatever they put out. Cause it’s usually good. Even after all these years!!
