RADIO RTR 92.1FM (WA) – “Initially associated with new wave and the neo-psychedelic sound of the mid 1980s, the music of Australian act the church later became more reminiscent of progressive rock. Whatever you call it, the sound made by Steve Kilbey and his band has always been interesting – sometimes exuberant, occasionally introspective, often on the radio and coming to an amphitheater soon. Steve Kilbey joined Peter Barr on Breakfast. RTR 92.1FM (WA)”  STREAM: http://bit.ly/s0u6xt
