    Forty-five years since the release of their classic eponymous debut album, Sunnyboys are releasing a 4-LP box set and playing a celebratory reunion show in Brisbane.

    To be released via Warner Music Australia, the  box set brings together the original Sunnyboys album together with the band's iconic 1980 Phantom Records debut EP and - for the first time on vinyl - the 17-track pre-album demo session and a live performance recorded at Sydney venue. The Governors Pleasure, in February 1981.

    The Sunnyboys' one-off performance at Brisbane’s Roma Street Parkland on Friday October 23 will head a massive bill that includes The Clouds, vSpy vSpy and local legend Mick Medew (ex Screaming Tribesmen) fronting The Mick Medew and Ursula 4.  

    The sharp-eyed will notice from the photo above that Paul Larsen (Celibate Rifles, New Christs, The Aints!) is replacing the retired Bil Bilson on drums for Sunnyboys.  Pre-sale tickets are here.

    Words & Pictures: ANGELA EVOL

    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.
