Few bands have aged as gracefully as The Church. Formed in Sydney in 1980, the group emerged alongside the post-punk explosion but quickly carved out its own territory, blending jangling guitars, psychedelic textures, and poetic songwriting into a sound that influenced generations of indie rock musicians. While "Under the Milky Way" became an international hit in 1988, the band never stopped evolving, releasing more than two dozen studio albums over four decades. Their The Singles: 1980–2025 tour offers a career-spanning set that reaches well beyond the familiar radio favorites, showcasing the depth of one of rock's most quietly influential catalogs. The July 1 stop at the Bearsville Theater begins at 8pm, with doors opening at 7pm.
