If you were not fortunate enough to have a) seen The Sunnyboys at the Dig It Up! festival in Sydney or b) Not scored tickets to see The Sunnyboys shows at Meredith or The Corner Hotel in Melbourne this weekend...Hows-about watching them play a live show from your lounge room?
On April 22nd 2012, for the first time in 21 years, all four original members of Sydney band Sunnyboys, walked on-stage at Sydney's Enmore Theatre and performed as guests of the Hoodoo Gurus on their Dig it Up! Invitational.
From the opening chords of little known track As I Walk to the closing notes of the band's biggest hit, Alone WIth You, it was as if time stood still. Appearing under the pseudonym Kids in Dust the band played with the same intensity and joy as they had all those years ago. It was emotional and inspired and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Undoubtedly the most anticipated (and worst kept ‘secret’) of the day was the reunion of Sunnyboys. There were tears, there were arms in the air and around mates shoulders as the band knocked out all the classics like the seminal Love to Rule, What You Need, Happy Man, Show Me Some Discipline and Alone With You. Jeremy Oxley’s vocals were as strong as ever, the guitar lines sounded clean and sharp and the rhythm section still kept things concise and punchy. The band seemed to having a blast with family watching from the wings and an audience giving them an overwhelming ovation as they left the stage. - Faster Louder
DIG IT UP! LIVE AT THE ENMORE THEATRE - the first ever Sunnyboys DVD - captures the entire experience. Relive that amazing day or witness it for the very first time. What you will see is a remarkable show of strength and character from a band previously thought down for the count.
SUNNYBOYS - DIG IT UP! LIVE AT THE ENMORE THEATRE 22.4.12 will be available at all good record stores and on-line from www.feelpresents.com from Friday December 7th 2012.
