THE CHURCH
Brisbane Powerhouse - Fri Dec 23
A rainy pre-Christmas Eve night can be made special
in a variety of ways – in this lifer’s case, seeing
TheChurch
, who are bringing the three-album Future PastPerfect extravaganza to the Powerhouse.
Aided by a considerably-younger “utility man” Craig
Wilson from Sydney dream/jangle-popsters Astreetlightsong,
the Blurred Crusaders encounter an uneven
mix during the opening Cobalt Blue, but have all instruments
up to level by the time they launch into the
menacing Deadman’s Hand. Over two-and-a-half years
since its release, the band’s most recent LP Untitled
#23 remains an impressive body of work, yet its second
half –particularly Sunken Sun with its echoey, postrock-
hued outro and Lunar’s short-and-sweet, ‘spacerock’
trip –is a revelation live. Ever the master of the
six-string, Peter Koppes takes us places with his David
Gilmour-esque guitar solo during the melancholic On
Angel Street, while Steve Kilbey signals the intermission
following the gorgeous Operetta.
The album all Church fans tend to agree on,
Priest=Aura isn’t so much a faithful reproduction as a
mind-blowing live experience. Two decades post-conception,
the album still sounds like nothing else recorded
at the time or currently, Ripple and Feel brimming
with immaculate guitar-pop power and the lovelorn
Mistress allowing dynamo drummer Tim Powles to turn
the intensity down a notch. However, the second set’s
moment of truth arrives when Kilbey puts down his sixstring
bass and roams the stage during the cathartic
Disillusionist, followed by nine brain-melting minutes
of Chaos and the brief, haunting Film –the direct precursor
of the ‘00s instrumental rock boom.
Following a brief pause, the four-piece roll out Starfish
–the record that brought Kilbey and co. worldwide
recognition –for the night’s final set. As expected,
Destination zooms, Antenna (with Wilson on mandolin)
chimes and Reptile bites; Marty Willson-Piper and
Koppes take confident solo turns on Spark and A New
Season and the former wrings every drop of emotion
from Hotel Womb’s outro. Christmas can’t possibly get
any better than this.
DENIS SEMCHENKOThanks for the share!
I’ll have to grab a copy of that. That’s a keeper!
