Opis

For almost thirty years, Australian rock band the Church has crafted music that blends a rich variety of styles in a beautiful, multi-layered sound. They've encompassed pop, psychedelic, progressive, and straight-ahead rock; yet always remain distinctive, thanks to the inimitable vocals and lyrics of front man Steve Kilbey. Based on extensive interviews and featuring over seventy rare photographs, No Certainty Attached is the first comprehensive biography of Kilbey and his band. It charts their personal and musical ups and downs, the creative breakthroughs of the Priest=Aura album and Kilbey's under appreciated solo work. It also follows the band's struggle to survive in the wake of bad business decisions and their singer's drug indulgences. What emerges is a compelling portrait of an artist and a band clinging steadfastly to their muse in the face of external and internal obstaclesand the power of the music they have created.
