Sunnyboys Announce 40th Anniversary Tour & Album

Much-loved Aussie group Sunnyboys are set to celebrate their 40th anniversary with a run of shows in 2020, as well as the release of a new LP. 

The release, dubbed Sunnyboys 40, includes the original version of their best-known hit Alone With You, plus four new recordings straight from frontman Jeremy Oxley’s archives.  

"You can’t keep a good band down," said Oxley. "These new and revitalised songs take it back to the reason behind the band in the first instance. 

"The 40 years in between is nicely depicted in the change in voice while the energy and craftsmanship is still there in the sound, albeit a little fuller and rounder. I guess, it’s just like us too really…"

In addition to the release of Sunnyboys 40, the band will be heading out for a run of East Coast dates throughout February 2020. 

They'll kick off the run at Torquay on Friday 7 February before heading to Melbourne, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Sydney. 

They'll be joined by special guests Painters & Dockers and Rocket Science for select shows throughout the tour.  

"We really didn’t think we would ever play again as a band," said bassist Peter Oxley of the tour. "But wow, we have and we sure are having a bloody great time doing it."

Sunnyboys 40 is due for release on 29 November, head here for more information. 

Tickets for the shows go on sale from Thursday 31 October, check out theGuide for all the info on dates and venues.
