Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Church is an Australian alternative rock band formed in 1980 in Sydney, consisting of Steve Kilbey on lead vocals and bass guitar, Peter Koppes and Marty Willson-Piper on guitars, and numerous drummer line-ups. Their music and lyrics are focused on surreal themes, along with Kilbey's relaxed, hypnotizing vocals. They were initially inspired by the Neo-Psychedelic and New Wave Music acts of the mid-1980's, but they turned to Progressive Rock and Dream Pop influence since Priest=Aura.However, they are best known for the One-Hit Wonder "Under the Milky Way."

Epic Rocking: Giving the band's prog-rock influence, this is not surprising, especially after Priest=Aura. Their longest track, "The Sexual Act" from the instrumental album Jammed, clocks in at just over 39 minutes. "Night Sequence" clocks in at 20 minutes. To a lesser extent, their Cover Version of Neil Young's "Cortez The Killer" is just over 11 minutes long.

Cover Album: A Box Of Birds It is a minor example though, since "Metropolis" was included on the their greatest hits album.

Long-Runner Line-up: The lineup of Steve Kilbey, Marty Wilson-Piper, Peter Koppes and Tim Powles is a type 2, lasting from 1997 when Koppes rejoined the band, to 2013 when Wilson-Piper left, totaling 16 years. The lineup of Kilbey, Koppes, Wilson-Piper and Richard Ploog barely missed being one with a 9 year linup (81-90)

Reptiles Are Abhorrent: "Reptile", natch, but Zig-Zagged in that there are strong undertones of Evil Is Sexy and You Sexy Beast in its metaphors; while she may have been poisoning their life, there's part of him that misses the Femme Fatale.
