    Steve Kilbey- on The Week In Waves ( Season 2 - episode 2 )

    The Week In Waves with Spinksy — Steve Kilbey of The Church In this episode of The Week In Waves, Spinksy sits down with Steve Kilbey, frontman, bassist and songwriter of iconic Australian band The Church, for a relaxed and remarkably candid conversation about music, creativity, second chances and finding a new rhythm in life. From his new home at Smiths Lake on the NSW Mid Coast, Steve reflects on leaving Sydney behind, becoming a homeowner again and the gratitude he feels after rebuilding his life and getting what he describes as a second bite at the cherry. There’s plenty for Church fans too. Steve reveals the story behind the band’s long-awaited new album Lacuna, recorded in 2024 and finally heading for release, along with plans to reissue parts of The Church’s back catalogue on vinyl. He also takes us inside the return of Psychedelic Symphony, explaining how the orchestral shows came together and why working with conductor and arranger George Ellis brings something special to The Church’s music. The conversation goes in some unexpected directions as well. Steve talks about his lifelong fascination with Hannibal, the childhood trading card that started it all and how that obsession eventually became the Vale of Tears comic series and an upcoming graphic novel. Steve also opens up about David Bowie, tribute shows, touring America, painting, family, his dog Truscott, his love of Bali, and why he's currently experimenting with something completely different — retirement. And while Spinksy might be determined to get him on a surfboard one day, Steve makes his position on becoming a surfer pretty clear! It’s funny, honest and at times deeply reflective — a conversation with one of Australian music’s most distinctive artists about where he’s been, where he is now, and what might come next. The Week In Waves with Spinksy — conversations about music, surf culture, creativity and the people and stories that connect them.
