The Church – Future, Past, Perfect

When “The Church” planned their US tour, they did it with amazing verve.  It was an impressive feat to say the least as they were set to play three albums in their entirety in one night!  The ‘Future Past Perfect’ tour was almost unbelievable as they would be covering each decades of the band’s career.  Most groups, even young ones would never try to take on performing 34 songs in one night.  Three amazing hours of music played to a packed house in the heart of trendy Little Five Points. The Church pleased their fans in a way that only these Australian boys could do.

Steve Kilby started the night off by welcoming his fans and opening up the first album of the evening “Untitled #23”.  This album was by far their most progressive. All ten of the albums songs were performed during the first act.  With the crowd at their mercy for more, The Church paused for a quick ten minute break.

 

 

Coming back to the stage, it was time to take a trip back to that wonderful year, 1992.  “Priest=Aura” was their seventh release and featured fourteen songs for your listening pleasure.  However Tuesday night, it was only for the  fortunate ones at The Variety Playhouse.

Finally, they made it to the breakthrough album from 1988 “Starfish”.  This album was one of their most successful as it featured the popular song “Under the Milky Way” which is still heard on Atlanta radio to date.  You could hear the crowd sing along as the chorus came in.  I couldn’t help but sing along myself.  When the full ten songs on the album were performed, everyone could feel that they had witnessed a great night in music and music history.

All in all, “The Church” remains a solid, tight-knit band that will hopefully make their way back to the states and to the great city of Atlanta.
