Steve Kilbey

Songwriter, singer, musician, actor, artist - Steve Kilbey has etched a unique and rarified niche for himself. Above all else he is credible - lending a genuine artistry to all of his endeavours.



His recording career stretches back twenty three years - he has toured the world, had hit singles and lived the rock'n'roll dream. Yet all this he does in his own inimitable style, never bending to what the perceived mainstream public may want - he maintains his unique vision and more importantly - his integrity.



Karmic Hit is lucky enough to have access to much of his solo work - with more to be re-released from his amazing back catalogue as we can get to them. However, it is his new work which truly excites us. His voice and lyrics have never been better and, as always, he is never afraid to go out on a limb to pick a new and exotic musical fruit.

The great thing is, if you have just come to him now - you have so much incredible music to discover!



Aside from an ongoing dynamic presence fronting The Church, Steve was a guest singer with The Triffids at the Sydney Festival and the Kev Carmody 'Cannot Buy My Soul' concerts in 2008 and with The Triffids 'A Secret In The Shape of a Song' concerts in Melbourne and Perth and on the Leonard Cohen tour in the Hunter Valley' in 2009, just some of the many facets of Steve's ongoing music career having also appeared in a select band, along with Tim Powles (The Church), for Russell Morris's ARIA Hall of Fame induction in 2008



Steve has also been a regular performer at the Queensland Poetry Festivals and, when time permits, treads the boards as an actor in his hometown of Bondi. In 2008 Steve released his first solo album in 8 years, PAINKILLER , celebrating with live gigs in Sydney with bandmates Tim Powles on drums, Ricky Rene Maymi (Brian Jonestown Massacre/Mellow Drunk), William Bowden (master of electronics) and Scott Von Ryper (The Black Ryder/Morning After Girls). Live video can be found on Youtube. Early 2009 SK performed with The Triffids in Melbourne, Perth and on the Leonard Cohen tour of the Hunter Valley.
