The first biography of a much-admired Australian rock band, The Church, and their enigmatic frontman, Steve Kilbey. Writing with the full involvement of Kilbey and other members of the group, Lurie covers the band from their formation in the early 1980s through their years of chart success to their current role as oddball elder statesmen of the rock scene. Robert Lurie makes good use of the access he was given to deliver a compelling, warts-and-all portrait of a rock band.
