    There are gigs you enjoy, gigs you remember, and then there are those rare occasions when you find yourself in the middle of something pretty special. Sunday afternoon at Vinnies Dive was firmly in the latter category.

    Chris Masuak was back on Australian soil for a ruin of 10 shows, bringing Dog Soldier to the Gold Coast on “The Shiny Side Tour.” For those of us who grew up listening to Radio Birdman, The Hitmen and Screaming Tribesmen, this was one we'd been looking forward to for a long time.

    After last year's Australian tour was cancelled following Chris's emergency eye surgery, having him back onstage, guitar in hand, was reason enough to celebrate.

    And celebrate we did.

    The Clouds brought the rain, but the Sunnyboys dried things up. And while Brisbane's weather couldn't quite make up its mind on Friday night, there was no uncertainty about the affection this crowd still has for one of Australia's most loved bands.

    It was a special one-off show celebrating 45 years since Sunnyboys released their debut album, part of 4ZZZ's ZED51 celebrations, with a line-up that brought together some familiar names from Australian rock.
