Australian pub-rock legends Choirboys are bringing their show, Run to Paradise, to the Moncrieff Entertainment Centre in June.
More than just a concert, this is a journey through the wild, untamed history of Aussie pub rock, told firsthand by a band that lived it.
As young twenty-something-year-olds, Choirboys formed in 1978, growing up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
The wild, hedonistic lifestyle the band witnessed of the youth in the 70s is ultimately what gave birth to their seminal rock anthem, Run To Paradise.
Who would have thought that Run To Paradise, thirty-five years on, would ultimately have started the first chapter of a myriad of untold stories as recalled by a band that’s seen it all, heard it all, and helped in the craziness.
Run To Paradise is a “spilling of the beans” of sorts.
It’s part story, part song that chronicles some of the wildest, most risqué, outrageous, and downright hilarious stories of Australian Rock.
All, as these Oz pub-rock icons recall it.
“They didn’t call it Pub Rock in those days, but we were there in the beginning and we’re still here now,” front-man Mark Gable said.
“Put it down to hearsay – it’s our opinion, it’s what we saw, it’s what people told us and most of it is extremely funny and incredibly interesting.
“Some of the stories are so funny and just plain stupid because back then, we could do things that nobody else could do because it wasn’t a normal job.
“There were no rules.”
