Steve Kilbey is the lead singer and bassist for the Australian psychedelic pop/rockers the Church. During the late '80s, Kilbey began a solo career with the 1986 Australian release of Unearthed. His solo work was more experimental and textured than the Church's relatively straightforward pop. As he pursued his solo career, he continued to release albums with the Church right into the '90s.
