Bayside music fans get ready to ‘Run To Paradise’ next month as iconic Aussie band the Choirboys perform Live @ the Green at Rossdale Golf Club on Sunday November 19. This exciting new family event held on the picturesque landscape at Rossdale Golf Club in Aspendale includes a live Transformers Show for the kids featuring Optimus Prime & Bumble Bee, afternoon music from Lee Harding & Bedrock followed by a twilight grand finale from Oz Rock legends the Choirboys.
Choirboys are a staple of the Australian Rock and Roll culture and are renowned for a great live show, not just for the music but also the atmosphere they bring to the stage – the grafting, sweating, pulverizing, pounding, screaming – doing what they do best and entertaining an audience by spilling their hearts and souls onto the stage.
You just don’t get much more Rock ‘n Roll than that so it is only fitting that the band released their new live album titled ‘Pub Rock Live’ in September. It was an era of live music, and they were the band that put the rock into pub gigs all over Australia. The sound of a generation. “The pubs inspired and helped create all the great Aussie bands like INXS, The Angels, AC/DC, Cold Chisel, Men At Work and on and on,” says lead singer Mark Gable.
“We called it Pub Rock way after the fact.” Mark Gable and his mates – Ian Hulme, Lindsay Tebbutt and Brett Williams – formed Choirboys in the 70’s on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. “We had no idea what we were doing or where it would end up taking us – they didn’t call it Pub Rock in those days, but we were there in the beginning and we’re still here now!”
For the past seven years, Choirboys have been recording every live show capturing this collection of their classic original songs and it is 100% Choirboys, 100% Pub Rock: the sound and the band that Australia has come to know and love. No auto-tune, studio adjustment; no hiding the rawness, just real live music, nothing held back.
Choirboys new album and national tour Pub Rock 2017 will take you from the slow sexy groove of Fireworks and the anthem of summer Boys Will be Boy through to the ultimate denial of aging We’re Never Gonna Die and topped off with that quintessential spirit of Australia in Run To Paradise.
Choirboys perform Live @ the Green on Sunday November 19 at Rossdale Golf Club in Aspendale. Gates open at 3pm for an afternoon of food & drinks, kids entertainment, music and fun in the sun from 4pm. Tickets are available now from trybooking.com or visit www.rossdalegolf.com.au for more details.
