The Church-Starfish

The fifth album from this Australian band came out in 1988. It was their breakthrough album and sold well in the U.S. Although Steve Kilbey is still the main songwriter guitarists Marty Wilson Piper and Peter Koppes are starting to collaborate more with him. Many good songs are on this record including “Destination”,”North South East and West” and “Hotel Womb”. About ten years ago I saw them in concert at a small venue(I think it was The Sellersville Theatre) and they played two songs from this album “Reptile” and their best know song “Under The Milky Way”. As Steve Kilbey explained it was used in a Miami Vice episode. I don’t know I never watched the show. This record is a reissue on clear green vinyl I bought in 2018.
