''under the milky way'' query (the church)

e-bow

its a song

def too electronic sounding for a bagpipeski.

it'll be a dx-7 or some shit. if it aint a sample of long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll

Its definitely an e-bow

was the ebow invented in 1981? dunno..probably..whatever..

dunno - but it would have been in 1988 when this was released.

really? 1988..why have I always thought this song was older? what was the early hit..unguarded moment'? anything else..oh god. 1988?..gee whizz the mind is getting lamer..sorry.

yeah then e-bow for sure.

hmmm - 1981 would have been ''Almost with you'' ... 1980 was Unguarded Moment

STOP USING ELIPSIS' YOU FUCKING COCKNECK BRAIN MALFUNCTIONED TURD BRACKET MOUTHWASH

XFUCKINGPOST

ahhh great song..'almost with you'..I like unguarded moment best tho I think. but 'almost with you' is great.

They're all about drugs, anyway. Alll of them.

tantalized is best, anyway

what? i always thought it was bagpipes - wasn't it famously the first use of bagpipes in an aussie song or something?

hm

nup.... its e-bow. This came direct from the person who played it

maybe you could just send Kilbey a msg via his BLOG

the time being

Don't sound like no e-bow to me. Whatever it is is backmasked.

wasn't it famously the first use of bagpipes in an aussie song or something?

hm, indeed

the layers under the e-bow sound like bagpipes. strange solo to a great song.

oh, that's right - the first SINCE ac/dc.

my apologies.

Curse my pedantry for making me post this, but Wouldn't You're The Voice also sneak into this notional oz-bagpipe-free-zone?

Yep

From Wiki: Unlike most of its songs, ''Under the Milky Way'' featured primarily acoustic guitar driven by a 12-string guitar melody and a solo that, although sounding like a bagpipe, was actually an EBow.

strangely enough, a song about heroin from the humourless mr kilbey.

Another debate: I always thought it was a dope/hash song - the Milky Way was a joint in Amsterdam.

Makes me think of montyclift every time I hear it.

Neither of us knows why.

can someone send me a bag of good heads or some hash? ahhh HASH!

the killer bee has denied that it's about scoring or doing smack at the Melkweg. Hasn't exactly denied that it's about smack, though.

that's good enough for me meaty.

As their 25th anniversary approaches art-rock band the church, having recently returned from international touring, are continuing to push the boundaries of what a rock band should be. Rather than becoming a tame bloated parody of what they used to be, or plodding out insipid greatest hits, the band have spent the last five years making music as they desire, without regard for current trend, trusting in the traditional virtues of talent, chemistry and good taste to guide them. Voted amongst readers of Melbourne newspaper, The Age, which garnered 37,000 votes, saw the majority of votes choose ''Under the Milky Way'' as the best Australian song of the last 21 years! Now embarking on their ''So Love May Find Us'' Tour, these Australian music icons have just announced a special stripped back intimate show at the Workers Club as part of the Sundae Workers Series #3 on December 6th! They will be joined by Alexander & Thom of the critically acclaimed Oh Mercy in a special duo set. Oh Mercy have recently been recognized with a host of new music awards including Album of the Month by the Age.

**Sunday, December 6th

Doors: 4pm
