Early years: Saga, Precious Little, Baby Grande and Tactics

Following his birth in Welwyn Garden City, England, UK, Kilbey was brought to Australia by his parents at the age of five years, and grew up around Dapto, before living with his family in Canberra. He began his professional music career at 17 years of age, when he joined a five piece "cabaret band" called 'Saga' in Canberra. Around 1973 he joined 'Precious Little', a rock band featuring future Church bandmate Peter Koppes on drums.

This was followed by Kilbey forming 'Baby Grande' around 1974 while still living in the A.C.T. Koppes was also in Baby Grande for a time but left to travel, then played in a band called Limazine which brought him in touch with future Church drummer Nick Ward. Baby Grande recorded some demos for EMI Australia in 1977 but were not signed to a permanent recording contract. Baby Grande's demos surfaced on the internet after about 30 years, and despite initial protests from Kilbey, he has now made four of the five tracks available on his solo compilation album of early work Addendaone (2012).

She Counts Up The Days

by: Steve Kilbey

At the heart of her outrage
There lies a veil of tears
Stories of lost times
She'll spread among the fields
And we touched the land
Of weeds where nothing grows
And she watched my eyes
And she knows
She says love will never stay
She looked upon our years
She counted up our days
Watched the sky last night
Though the topics were aligned
My vision was obscured
By the things I couldn't find
And we touched the land
A land of weeds where nothing grows
And she watched my eyes
And she knows
She says love will never stay
And she looked upon our years
And she counted up our days
And we touched the land
A land of weeds where nothing grows
And she watched my eyes
And she knows
She says, she says that love will never stay
She looked upon our years
And she counted up our days
She says love will never stay
And she looked upon our years
And she counted up our days
It's so irregular
