What better way to celebrate a 40th than to hit the stage? Which is exactly what the Sunnyboys are doing in February, playing live all along the East Coast for the first time in a long time to mark the milestone anniversary of the band and also the release of Sunnboys 40, a first ever re-release of the bands 1980 debut album. Fans will love that the new album includes the original version of Alone With You, plus an additional four new recordings which were found in the archives of chief songwriter Jeremy Oxley. And if you thought that was enough to get you on the floor, you’ll be impressed to learn that their guest band on the tour are Painters & Dockers. Head to the Sunnboys site for dates and venues. “We really didn’t think we would ever play again as a band. But wow, we have and we sure are having a bloody great time doing it.” – Peter Oxley
