The Church Celebrates 26th Album at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas

Australia’s The Church is currently on tour in support of their newest album The Hypnogogue. The tour kicked off in September at the legendary Neptune Theatre in Seattle, WA, but on October 5th, Las Vegas’ Brooklyn Bowl stage was graced with an incredible set by the band.

While most people remember the 1988 tune “Under the Milky Way”, the venue was filled with true fans of the band.

The lights were low as they hit the stage, but the spirits were high when the band broke into “Ascendence”. Vocalist/bassist and original member Steve Kilbey’s baritone voice rang out through Brooklyn Bowl’s walls as the crowd sang along with every word. He stopped between songs to speak softly to the crowd about the new record, thank them for coming out, and to tell small stories about some of the songs the band played.

Not a single band member missed a bit, and it was obvious that they were truly happy to be there.

Stephanie " Stephy " Muzio (formerly Hayward) - Public Relations / Writer/ Photographer and Co-Founder of ZRockR Magazine Co-host of ZRockR Magazine LIVE! Stephy was raised on rock and roll. Originally from Illinois, Stephy is the daughter of an aspiring metal guitarist and a former rock n roll radio dj. Stephy’s first concert at the tender age of 8 was Rob Zombie at the original Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas, where she happily threw horns up and sang along to "Dragula" with the best of them ( she incidentally loves horror films too!) . She performed with the VGA choir at the 2007 Video Game Awards show at Mandalay Bay when it was hosted by Samuel L Jackson, sharing the stage with the likes of Foo Fighters as well as Kid Rock. An LVA alum, when she isn’t singing or playing herself (she plays a few different instruments), she is out in support of the local scene and at her friends gigs around the southwest and even when she is back home in Illinois! She has written as well as done some photography previously for a couple of smaller zines including Vegas SoundZ when it was in print. Stephy takes the adage of ” If it’s too loud that is just too damn bad! ” to heart- after all- she was raised around screaming guitars, thunderous drums, production studios and only Led Zeppelin and Nirvana played extremely loud would put her to sleep as a kid! Stephy is a large part of the backbone of ZRockR.
