The Church is an Australian alternative rock band formed in 1980 in Sydney, consisting of Steve Kilbey on lead vocals and bass guitar, Peter Koppes and Marty Willson-Piper on guitars, and numerous drummer line-ups. Their music and lyrics are focused on surreal themes, along with Kilbey's relaxed, hypnotizing vocals. They were initially inspired by the Neo-Psychedelic and NewWaveMusic acts of the mid-1980's, but they turned to ProgressiveRock and DreamPop influence since ''Priest=Aura.''
However, they are best known for the OneHitWonder "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Z48dHFYLc Under the Milky Way.]]"
