The Church return to the USA for the "Future Past Perfect" Tour

Performing Three Classic Albums: Untitled #23, Priest=Aura and Starfish In Their Entirety In One Night!

Back Catalog Albums Reissued Through Second Motion Records


Following their successful "An Intimate Space" acoustic tour this past spring, the church return to the USA for their "Future Past Perfect" electric tour. This unprecedented touring event continues their 30th Anniversary celebrations by performing three classic albums in their entirety in one night: Untitled #23, Priest=Aura, and Starfish, three decades of the church in selected cities across the USA this coming February 2011.

Recently inducted into the Australian Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, the band will begin the night in the present, covering the last decade with the critically acclaimed Untitled #23. Proceeding backwards into the '90s, they will then perform perennial fan favorite, Priest=Aura (an album not supported by a tour when originally released in the USA). And then, what better way to conclude the evening than with a performance of the all-time classic album, Starfish. These three great albums will be played in succession, live and electric, by one of the most inventive rock bands of our time.

Constantly releasing new challenging material, embracing their past and reinventing themselves in the present, touring across the decades, performing their music in a host of different shapes and forms, the church continue to evolve into a unique musical entity. This event is an experience not to be missed!
