In these times of floods, the pandemic and grueling election speak, there can be only one remedy: rock ’n roll! And who better to deliver that than SUNNYBOYS. 

The fab four of Jeremy, Richard, Pete and Bil will emerge from the gloom to deliver a handful of low fuss, no-frills, hi-energy rock ’n roll across three states this winter, reminding us of better days and sunnier times to come. 

“Closing the main set with I’m Shakin’, Sunnyboys left everything they had on the stage, pushing themselves to the limits even coming out onto the front speaker stacks for a shred.” - gclive.me 

“The Sunnyboys were meant to be heard live and their re-emergence was the greatest thing to happen in Australian music since Wave Aid (benefit concert for the Asian Tsunami).” – Weekend Notes. 

“There’s so much love and respect in the room its quite remarkable, and the four-piece return the favour with Love To Rule and the irrepressible Tunnel Of Love preceding the first true banger Happy Man, which prompts the euphoric crowd into a singalong frenzy from the very first note.” – The Music 

When they last toured in 2020 Sunnyboys chose the salubrious surrounds of Taronga Zoo, Melbourne’s Forum, Brisbane’s Tivoli; this time though, the band will get down and sweaty playing intimate venues more akin to their breakout year of 1981. It’s an experience not to be missed. 

Melbourne pop-rockers Even will join the fun in Sydney and Melbourne while former Screaming Tribesmen Mick Medew & Michael Charles will bring their Mesmerisers to Brisbane and Byron Bay. 

Get upfront and personal this winter with Sunnyboys. Tickets on sale 11am Friday May 6th.

Due to the continued uncertainty over border closures, quarantine and all things covid-related Sunnyboys & Ups and Downs have decided to postpone their advertised October 2021 dates until March 2022. Tickets for the October shows remain valid for the new dates or refunds from the point of purchase.

Got your dancing’ shoes ready? The hottest dance band in the land Sunnyboys welcome the return of spring with two Australian exclusives at Brisbane’s hippest new music venue The Princess Theatre in downtown Woolloongabba.

Support comes from Brisbane natives Ups and Downs celebrating their 35th anniversary of their classic mini-album Sleepless, a seven track delight that featured the bands’s glorious take on Neil Diamond’s Solitary Man as well as their own The Living Kind. 

Be the first to say “I was there!” when Sunnyboys + Ups and Downs perform two intimate shows in Brisbane this October.

“I’m exhilarated to think that From the hallowed halls of the school dance , this garage band has broken through the time barriers to arrive in 2020 to play at perhaps Australia’s prime entertainment venue, the SOH! It is a sign that the songs have stood the test of time and are still meaningful to a generation pursuing the same dream of love, happiness and acceptance. Playing my songs live to a dancing, singing audience and feeling the joy is always the highlight and something I am looking forward to following such a harrowing year.” – Jeremy Oxley

The promise of the late seventies punk and new wave movements ushered in the most fertile time in Australia’s musical development. Venues were bursting at the seams with Sydney leading the charge as the cultural centre. Only London could have matched Sydney at the time for the sheer volume and diversity of what was being produced. From these inspired times a few bands managed to rise to the top, taking their sound further than most and more importantly, engaging generations of new followers years after that initial spark. Ladies and Gentleman we give you By The C featuring Sunnyboys, Icehouse, The Church, Do Re Mi and Mental As Anything. Tickets here

This week we passed 12,000 Sunnyboys Fan Club page followers!  

We first posted on 29 March 2012 hoping to catch up with the few hundred other members of the original Sunnyboys Fan Club from the 1980s - to share some stories and photos.  

We've still got those classic photos, posters and newsletters to share, but so much more as we share in the band's resurgence. Thanks to everyone - worldwide - for supporting the page and the Sunnyboys. See you down the front this summer! 

Ahead of their 2018 By The C and Dee Why RSL performances Sunnyboys are having a sale of all existing t-shirt stock - 30% of everything! With older designs from as little as $21.00. There are live CD and DVD packages too. Click here for all your needs (steak knives not included …)

The supergroup he has joined alongside Australian icon Ed Kuepper, The Celibate Rifles drummer Paul Larsen and Sunnyboys touring keyboard player Alister Spence. The Aints! play the songs of The Saints from the time Kuepper was their driving force 1973-1978 with a Sydney show this week and Melbourne and the Hunter Valley to follow. Full details here ▶

Anita’s is an ornate heritage ballroom, capacity 1200 people and on Wollongong’s northern fringe. It’s stunning. Sprung wooden dance floor, ornate fittings. Too few of these places left. Shows in the Gong are feast or famine – they’re either well-supported or they die with dismal attendances. But who doesn’t want to see the Sunnyboys? It’s sold-out. 

There’s not much that can be said about the Sunnyboys that hasn’t been said here, and elsewhere, many times before. They are THE Australian music success story of the 20-teens, a picture of triumph over adversity through love and tight personal bonds, and they’ve been recapturing their original spirit ever since they came back.. 

Friday night’s performance (what I saw of it) was as confident, relaxed and upbeat as I’ve seen them. Peter is the rock on Jeremy’s left, Richard the ebullient, positive force on his right. Bil Bilson’s unshakeable feels glue the whole thing at the seams. 

Sometimes you do wonder where they can take this, but in the end it simply doesn’t matter. If there’s going to be new material - and that’s still a big “if” - let it come about at its own pace. They’re Alone With You and together with us all (and each other.) Long may it be so.
