Sunnyboys first formed in 1979. The band's first two albums, the self-titled Sunnyboys, which spurned one of their biggest hits, Alone with You, and Individuals made it into the Aussie charts. But after a third album and a tour with The Police, the band broke up in 1984.
After a 21-year hiatus, the four original band members triumphantly returned to the stage in 2012 to support Hoodoo Gurus under the pseudonym Kids in Dust. Now after a series of successful tours over the past decade, they have announced one final tour, The Last Dance, which will bring them to Anita's Thirroul on Saturday, January 21.
Sunnyboys consists of singer-songwriter and guitarist Jeremy Oxley, his brother Peter on bass guitar, drummer Bill Bilson and guitarist Richard Burgman.
With all three of their previous albums and a fourth live album recorded in 2015 at Sydney's Enmore Threatre now available, it seemed like the perfect time for the band to take to the stage according to Peter.
"We really didn't think we would ever play again as a band. But wow, we have and we sure are having a bloody good time doing it," he said.
