Aussie rock band The Choirboys is headed to Ocean Grove.
A staple of Australia’s rock n roll landscape since their inception in 1978 and over 40 years on, The Choirboys are still as relevant as ever and none other than their seminal rock anthem, Run To Paradise.
With the Covid-19 outbreak in 2020 that confined people to their homes, and forced the hand of musicians like Choirboys to adapt, they ventured from loud, sweat driven and gritty pubs to live-streaming a set of Easy Beats and Choirboys classics to the very lounge room of their fans.
It also gave birth to their new live nine-track compilation album of hits recorded from that very streaming event titled
Feels Good, released in October 2021 as a strictly limited edition Vinyl release. Sweetening the release is Choirboys’ first brand new original single release in nearly 15 years, titled Home Free.
“Home Free was sent to us initially from a fan,” bass guitarist Ian Hulme said.
“Mark (Gable) and I played it for the first time some years ago during a radio interview and it was recorded… years later that recording landed back in our laps and we decided to re-record it for Feels Good.”
In 2022, the band will be hitting the road for a very select few dates to celebrate its release and bring with them all the glory that fans come to expect of a Choirboys show: the grafting, sweating, pulverizing, pounding, screaming – doing what they do best.
The Choirboys will play at Ocean Grove Hotel on Saturday April 16.
