Van Park

A burlesque rock comedy set in a run down caravan park

In a remote part of the Australian coast, beside a slime filled estuary, is a rundown caravan park. It is here that a group of music lovers have gathered to live out their remaining years. Enter Curly, a young boy... a musical comedy staring John Paul Young as Curly's rock and roll father - with an all star cast. STEVE KILBEY, Cora James, Catriona Hamilton, Luke Webb and Remi Slade-Caffarel!

"This is a fantastic Australian production and it has some of the best music I've ever been involved with... it's even funny too" John Paul Young

Nobody else dares to start this topic so here it goes. From the SK blog July 14, 2010:

down in hot swampy texas
the high priests of the dangerous timebeing.com cult
have determined that 26th of july
will be the date of the commencement of the new site
yes believe it if you dare
i gotta lotta stuff up my sleeve, steve
its not all gonna be there all at once
but eventually...
art music blogs rantings ravings FAQs
interaction musings hippy dribble

It promises to be your one stop place to overdose on all things SK. I have no idea if it´s something I will follow all the time but it sounds promising so far.

http://www.thetimebeing.com is the address. Now it directs to SK blog but that will be changed soon.

UTMW selected for Hobart Festival of Voices July 10th

feeds@kickapps.com (Sleepycat) — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 02:28:47 PST

The Hobart (Tasmania, Australia, my home city, pop c.200 000) has a Festival of Voices involving various choiral-style singing stuff. Not my scene so I've never paid it much attention ... until last week in a pizza shop I saw a big red poster that started "THE SONG IS UNDER THE MILKY WAY". Basically UTMW has been voted by popular choice as the song to be performed, in four-part arrangement by a massive choir comprised of members of the public drawn from local ABC AM radio 7ZR 936, around a bonfire in Salamanca Place, on July 10th from 6:30 onwards. (I am unsure exactly when the song is performed).

This event will be streamed live over the net.

Another part of UTMW's "life of its own".

Vinyl/ DVD-reissue survey

feeds@kickapps.com (chrome3D) — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 10:14:30 PST

Here is a survey that was held by Damian who has advertised this in Facebook and Seance. It´s a private survey and not connected to Second Motion Records. He wants people to vote for albums that should be reissued in vinyl or 5.1 DVD. Surveys look pretty professional to me. 29 responses so far is not much, and few more votes won´t hurt!

--------------------------

The Church Survey results are in. There was a total of 29
responses (so far) and if we'd like any of the church reissues
have a half a chance of becoming reality, we're going to need a
lot more...

october dates in the states?

feeds@kickapps.com (witchysounds) — Fri, 07 May 2010 05:14:33 PST

i was in my friend's record store yesterday, flipping through the red eye distribution catalog, which was outlining new may/june releases, and stumbled upon the page for noctorum's offer the light. it lays out some bio information on marty & the church, but the interesting part comes in the "promotion" section: "the church will tour in april and october - 30th anniversary acoustic and electric tours."

i take that to mean they'll be returning to the states in october for an electric leg... steve referred to playing whole albums live as "on the cards" when i spoke with him in chicago, so maybe that'll be the tour. good news either way!

Second Motion Records remasters of the early church discs.

feeds@kickapps.com (BANNED) — Sat, 01 May 2010 21:54:41 PST

will they contain the other cd's the prior remasters had? will there be a box set ala robyn hitchcocks rereleases?

Are the remastered versions of P=A and GAF "different?"

feeds@kickapps.com (dreko) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:52:11 PST

Hi All,

Just wondering if there is a real actual improvement on those 2 remastered cds from 2005. Different tracks being heard better, slightly different arrangements, etc?

I thought the originals on both was good, and ripped high quality digital versions to my computer audiophile collection.

I'd make the purchase, but maybe not if there's no audible improvement...

HELP!!!

thanks

the church radio special w/ kilbey interview

feeds@kickapps.com (witchysounds) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 07:19:14 PST

hi all,

i host a radio show with a couple friends, and i'll be presenting a two-hour church special this coming monday, may 3rd from 8-10pm (central time). i had the opportunity to interview steve briefly, and segments of that interview will be part of the show. the show will be available to stream live on the station's website, info below:

"i'll be presenting a two-hour special coinciding with the church's 30th anniversary, featuring exclusive interview segments i recorded with steve kilbey during the band's stop in chicago on april 15th. along the way, i will be playing well-known tracks, deeper album cuts, rarities, songs from EPs, all spanning the band's long journey. i will be emphasizing the last 10 years in particular, as i feel the band's creativity has soared at a time when it is harder and harder to get airplay and the recognition those albums, from hologram of baal to untitled #23, deserve. as a fan first, dj second, this is my attempt to expose as many...

Anyone her anything. I've had a hankering for Snowjob for a while. I lost my cd collection during a move somewhere. And havent gotten around to replacing it. I've noticed KH has it for $10, as theyre going out of business.

Probably the most exciting Church news I've read for a while...

"The An Intimate Space tour wraps May 1 in Atlanta. Kilbey says the group is then talking about going out on an electric tour during which it will play "Untitled #23" and 1988's "Starfish" in their entireties"

Wineries and Castlemaine cancellation

feeds@kickapps.com (Spirit March) — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 01:28:02 PST

Friday 15th January 2010

It is with regret that the shows recently announced for Scotchmans Hill at Spray Farm in Victoria and Josef Chromy Wines in Tasmania, as well as The Theatre Royal in Castlemaine have been cancelled.

This is due to Rufus Wainwright having to cancel his Australian tour due to illness in his family.
We hope to be able to reschedule these dates for later in the year and wish Rufus our commiserations at this difficult time.
