Her til aften kan jeg læse at Steve Kilbey forlader The Church efter en uoverensstemmelse med bandets amerikanske pladeselskab om udbetaling af royalties. At Kilbey forlader The Church betyder reelt enden for dette ellers så trofaste australske band. Hvor trist.

an open letter to stephen judge
Stephen
i do not recant
i am furious with your insulting royalty statements
i intend to put your royalty statements online for the whole world to see
with annotations by an american record biz auditor
and as i wrote to you personally
if you dont sort this out i have some very interesting new allies
who are prepared to help me get to the bottom of this once and for all
i am so fucking sick of being ripped off and underpaid
you are the final straw that broke this camels back
let me make this plain
i am leaving the church because of you
and also because i am unhappy with the bands internal business attitude
but definitely its mainly you and now your ludicrous response
so if i dont receive my adequate share of the pie
i mean regardless of what you say stephen
you made about 30 or 40 grand for that period
and we got a hundred dollars each
(300 extra for my solo albums)
keep denying that if you like but the statements will be here ,on facebook and anywhere else very soon
IF YOU DONT DECIDE TO DO THE RIGHT THING
AND PASS SOME OF THE MONEY YOU COLLECTED ON TO THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS MUSIC!
20 or 30 years ago when you were just a little kid
we made these records!
and i still aint never been sorted out properly
stephen, im as mad as hell and i aint gonna take it!
re; sydney morning herald
i was flustered
i was trying to ameliorate a bad situation
i shouldnt have backtracked
i will not again
i will not back down
i am going to have satisfaction or my day in court
