  • Summary

  • On the episode of Story Behind the Song, host Peter Csathy talks with Steve Kilby, the bassist and songwriter of the Australian indie band The Church. The interview delves into the creation of their iconic song, "Under the Milky Way," from their 1988 album "Starfish." Kilby recounts how the song was written quickly with his then-girlfriend to avoid doing dishes for his mother. Despite its humble beginnings, the song became a critical and commercial success, solidifying The Church's place in the 1980s music scene. The episode explores Kilby's artistic journey and his reflections on the enduring legacy of "Under the Milky Way." And the two discuss The Church pandemic creation The Hypnogogue.
