The Sunnyboys- Coolangatta Hotel,Gold Coast -24th May 2013(Part 1)

‪@sunnyboys816‬ Twelve months after their surprise appearance at Dig It Up! Sydney (appearing under the name Kids In Dust) AND with a hugely received national tour as special guests to Elvis Costello under their belt PLUS a performance at Victoria’s Meredith Music Festival, SUNNYBOYS – the Gold Coast’s favourite sons (move over Mick and Joel) –appeared under their original moniker as they finally stage a homecoming via two special nights at the Coolangatta Hotel: Friday 24th & Sat 25th May. The Coolangatta shows was the first ]hometown’ appearance of the original line-up of Sunnyboys since 1991 and will serve as the yin to the yang of the band’s performance the following week at Sydney’s Vivid Festival where, on June 2nd, they headlined the Concert Hall of the iconic Sydney Opera House. That’s a long way from their debut show as support to Sydney outfit Lipstick Killers at Chequers Nightclub on August 15th 1980. Expectations couldn’t be much higher for the original line-up of the Sunnyboys playing their first Brisbane show for more than 28 years. Expectations met then as the four-piece band: Richard, Jeremy, Peter & Bil (originally from Kingscliff in northern NSW) soared through a set of some of the sharpest power-pop songs you will ever her. Yes they played No Love Around but for this triumphant return love was everywhere. – Noel Engel (Courier Mail Review as guests of Elvis Costello) Most recently the Sunnyboys eponymous debut album was listed as no.3 on the all-time greatest Australian Albums list (behind Midnight Oil and Cold Chisel) as voted by listeners of ABC Coast-FM.
