is it the Sunnboys or Sunnyboys?

it's the Sunn O))) Boys

Great photos by Chris.

Set of the day for me. I’ll be grinning for days

Damn it. Why didn't I scrape together the couple hundred bucks I needed to see this?

Opened the set with a number off ''Wildcat''.

Argh! I really, really wish I could have made it to this. Please let there be another one (in Melbourne would be really grand).

Jeremy still not in the right frame of mind to jump on a plane apparently.

There are cars in Sydney that are fully capable of driving to Melbourne Ralph.

They could even break the journey with an overnight stay at the not-at-all tacky Siesta resort in Albury.

They were so good yesterday, some people in the audience were getting quite emotional.

I hope the unlikely happens and Melbourne gets the Sunnyboys too. It's not impossible, Dave Faulkner was quoted in the Age a few days ago saying that he hoped the band had so much fun in Sydney (and they clearly did) that they then decided to come to Melbs and do it again, but he acknowledged it was not very likely.

I may be mistaken, but last I heard Jeremy lived in Ipswich Qld, not Sydney. Ipswich to Melbourne is a hell of a long drive...

BTW - Is there any footage of this gig around?!

The moshcam people were filming it, so no doubt it will surface sooner or later.

Yeah...very hard to describe just how incredible this performance was.

This would have been bloody wonderful!

Why can't The Sunnyvoys come to Melbourne? Sorry, I don't know anything about them outside of the great music.

Maybe you can see them play with the hoodoo gurus at your local RSL three times a week for $15?

This might shed some light

They were a late addition to the Sydney bill, by that stage Melbourne was already full. Nothing to with Jeremy's health.

Thats not what I've heard.

Sunnyboys - Let You Go ㋡

For anyone interested in the documentary** The Sunnyboy **that is currently in production, please go to the Facebook page The Sunnyboy and ''like'' it.

yay, that's my footage of Alone With You!

and Malph, Voxy knows of what she speaks. Best not to doubt her word!

I can only go by what I was told. A certain member from a band on the dig it up bill told me he spoke to Dave Faulkner about getting The Sunnyboys on board. Jeremy's health was brought up. He was told he is ''getting there'' but this was a one off, he was not up to getting on plane to do any other shows.

Believe 5% of what you hear. I can only echo thenewmeatloaf.

Can I request M&N do an icon article and also request the first question that can be asked?

Really should have gone to this, one of the best Aust bands ever.

Anyone got the Sunnyboys setlist from Sunday?

Cracking set! Let You Go, Liar and My Only Friend the standouts for me. For some reason Alone With You was one of the weaker tunes (just seemed a bit lacking in energy) but the crowd singalong still made it great.

Lets hope for a tour some time down the track.

Looch, here's my take on what was played, I didn't know the first song though (Captain Oblivious posted that it was a track off 'Wildcat' but I don't know that record). I agree that the energy flagged a little on 'Alone With You', but not enough to detract from the fun being had.

1. ?
2. Love to Rule
3. Tunnel of Love
4. Happy Man
5. Let You Go
6. My Only Friend
7. What You Need
8. Liar
9. Show Me Some Discipline
10. I'm Shakin'
11. Alone with You

First song was: As I Walk

I'm with Voxy...I spoke with Dave Faulkner today and his take was there will likely be more Sunnyboys shows here and there but a headline tour as such was unlikely at this point.

Man..............really sorry I missed this. Without a doubt one of the best I have had the pleasure to work with.

SUNNYBOYS PLAY THE CORNER HOTEL!

Already announced as a feature act at this years Meredith Music Festival, Sunnyboys are now pleased to announce a one-off club performance at Melbourne's Corner Hotel: Saturday December 8th.

This most cherished of Australian bands responsible for the classics: Happy Man, Tunnel of Love, I'm Shakin', Alone With You, You Need A Friend, Show Me Some Discipline and many, many more, reformed earlier this year under the alias Kids In Dust for Dig it Up! the Hoodoo Gurus Invitational. An inspired performance and an emotionally charged response lead to an invite from Meredith. This most quintessential of Australian festivals seemed the perfect follow-up to Dig it Up! while the addition of the Corner Hotel will give fans the chance to see the band in a more intimate and sweaty environment.

I cried and all the way through the first song of Sunnyboys... then danced and sang for the rest of the day/night... Absolutely brilliant!

Emotional return from the Sunnyboys. Not a dry eye in the house. They stole the show. Absolutely brilliant.

For a dude who was too young to see Sunnyboys first time around, their set yesterday made my day.

Sunnyboys owned it! Welcome back lads!!!!

SUNNYBOYS!!!!!! - (Audience comments taken from the Dig it Up! facebook page).

Melbourne power-pop trio Even join the bill as do young garage-punks Fearless Vampire Killers.

Tickets for the Corner Hotel go on sale Friday September 7th from cornerhotel.com, feelpresents.oztix.com.au, phone (03) 9427 9198 or in person at the venue and Oztix outlets.

This is the Sunnyboys: alive and well in 2012.

plus Even and Fearless Vampire Killers.

How much a tickets?

i'm broke so i'm selling an old t shirt! it is OLD! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sunnboys-T-Shirt-Oz-Pop-/271049154165?pt=Men_s_Clothing&hash=item3f1bc9de75

fuck. I'm torn between:
(a) flying back to Australia for the Corner show

and

(b) not wanting to make a fuss over it (given I've read they don't want to hype things).

dammit.

i'll console myself at hot snakes this weekend.... tum da dum

If anyone finds they have a spare plus-one or a ticket spare to give away (if I was working I'd pay whatever but times are hard) for the Corner show please spare me a thought. I could cook you dinner or mow your lawn or wash your car or something in return, along with my thanks. Last minute will be fine too, if your friend''s a no-show. (I still have karma owing for the time I gave away a Motorhead ticket to a random stranger when the brother it was a birthday present for piked without notice.)

Bump as a reminder in case anyone finds themselves with a ticket in excess. I'll keep checking in periodically during the day, and tomorrow.

Who can save me from a hot TV date with Inspector Morse (and Lewis)?

Thanks Pollyphonic for furnishing me with a winery ticket (half price! And Elvis Costello as well). Sunnyboys sounded so good, all singing and playing well. I'm Shaking was my highlight. It just has an unexplainable 'feel' about it to me, simulate to Deja Vu, but harking back to a time I wasn't there for, echoed through the time I heard it first and again today like a weird audio-time-telescope.
Anyway, it was awesome seeing them, very pleased to have been able to. Plus I had a mini-swoon when Peter & Richard signed my ticket stub.

Dunno if it's up there in the fold, but the Sydney Dig It Up show was available on DVD from the mercy stand. May be in shops?

And the mercy stand is a-waitin'
And I think my wallet's boilin'...

Merch. Yeah, just autocorrected again. The word Merchandise doesn't get changed though.
