I mean, there was The Hoodoos, Sparklers, Died Pretty and all the northern beaches bands, but then these guys. We followed them from the George Hotel. They were something else
'The Sunnyboys' were to me, .... & even now, one of the best things that happened to Australian music. I was so lucky to see them back when they were playing small pubs. It's also amazing & great to me that people are enjoying/celebrating their journey & what their doing now. Me & my amateur band back in the early 80's practised for so many hours to play their songs & also at some gigs. But as much as we all tried to 'pull the sound' together, we never even came close to the raw & tight sound of them 4 Sunnyboys. GAZZA
I went to every Vic gig sometimes on my own as my mates got pissed off with my obsession. My HG Prem with a 3 speed and a 253 took me all over Vic.These guys spoke my language and prevented me committing suicide. I owe these guys my life. Tierneyco.au@gmail.com
It doesn't get much better than these fellas when in comes to uplifting melodies. This is authentic Australian Rock 100% and so underrated most every song they do is infectious. I can't get enough of them. Best anti-depressive I tell ya!
Just seen a repeat of the Sunnyboys doco. Finding this video, completes the picture - validates an awesome story, with 3 awesome participants. Just wonderful, and such a privilege to be able to observe this steady healing.
Bombay Rock.....way ahead of its time..........anyone out there ever remembers "The Jump Club"? South Yarra, Melbourne, the city that has everything Sydney doesn't...
I saw them live at Caringbah Pub in the 80's. Only saw them once but it was the best gig I ever saw. It was just amazing. Drunk and non stop dancing what a band.
He reminded my so much of Brian Wilson when I watched the doco. Same vacant stare and he's pretty big. Could have been years of overindulgence setting off a pre-existing condition. Some people just aren't wired to live the sex drugs and r & r for too long. Also the pressure to write the band's stuff to come up with quality and to sell would be very tough for one person to do. Pretty sure he was sole writer in The Sunnyboys
I'd like to get in touch with who ever posted this clip to find out how I might access the footage of this live performance. I would like to use it in my documentary "The Sunnyboy". Please contact me via my Sunnyboy FB page. Thanks (Kaye Harrison - Director)
Most underrated Aussie band by a long way. Anyone who’s seen them live would have to agree. The blue album has to be top ten of Aussie rock albums.
Still setting things up for the offer go go you good luck 👍. Same but good different. Love ❤️ auroa puppy and pauly Dostalek here 😍 angels 😇
They were just as good live as they were on record. Love this band.

I used to go see these guys at the local pub. Great time to be young in the early 80s,
Being in your 20s living on the GC during the 80s raging away with bands like this take me back lol
So much respect for Richard Burgman . Always immaculate , always underated , and selfless . Jeremy must of been a handful in his dark days .
Spot on Brad. We saw the Sunnyboys last weekend and that’s exactly what we saw from Richard.
One of the tightest bands I saw around the traps in Sydney 80s.

I got to see their final gig at the Seaview Ballroom in 1984....unforgetable.
Beautiful also to see a too young Richard Burgmann. Canada’s gain is our loss

Fantastic live band. One night i nearly copped the bass guitar in my face maybe Jeremy didn't want to be said hello to and told his brother .
Amazing band!!!
Regards from Argentina
Great song great album great band
What memories, what a band..... and what a documentary !! great work to those involved, absolutely riveting.
Inspiring documentary about Jeremy and his battle. Congratulations to those involved.
What can I say. Can't get any better!
Brilliant, I loved these guys when I was a young girl, still love them. Good on you Jeremy.....fight those demons ..I fight them too .
Jenny Freemantle great band Jenny ❤️
Jeremy's writing is gold. Bless him
This is real music, not like the shit we hear these days
SuperRonnie4ever thankfully, they still are “these days”
Seen at the Playroom early 80s so good
Just seen a repeat of the Sunnyboys doco. Finding this video, completes the picture - validates an awesome story, with 3 awesome participants. Just wonderful, and such a privilege to be able to observe this steady healing.

just watched the sunnyboy…….simply amazing, can't wait for next march at the enmore!!!
Just watched the Documentary. Great story!! Jeremy is lucky to have such a supportive brother. love the band and they still sound good.
Grew up to this band. Most people my age usually haven't heard of them. In my opinion bands like this create true music
Too right mate,a really great band.glad I got to see them live a few times,take it easy man.
Absolutely brilliant..
I was at this gig. Wish it were now.
One of the all time greats.
I watched your doco on the abc tonight Kaye .. great job on both the band and Jeremy dealing with his issues .. you should be proud .. cheers Dane
Saw them once in ADELAIDE in the 80s before they imploded. They were a very good band indeed.
Richard on the right and Peter on left as you look at the stage. Not sure when they swapped sides. Awesome vid. Love this band.
Long live Sunnyboys!!!!
The Sunny Boys guitar playing was Unique ..
his very good
Bombay Rock.....way ahead of its time..........anyone out there ever remembers "The Jump Club"? South Yarra, Melbourne, the city that has everything Sydney doesn't...
Have tickets to see them on Australia Day 2018 at Twin Towns.
They were awesome!
Wish i got to see them live....
me too!
They're still around and touring, albeit not the original line up. They're playing at the Forum, Melbourne this March.
Lorenzo St Dubois It's still the original four members (Jeremy, Richard, Peter and Bil) with some additions
I saw them live at Caringbah Pub in the 80's. Only saw them once but it was the best gig I ever saw. It was just amazing. Drunk and non stop dancing what a band.
The dark clouds hanging over his head
Given Jeremy's history, this is a very personal song, love the Sunnyboys.

Everything RIGHT with you Jeremy. LOVE you Man. You're my HERO. LEGENDARY. Marry Me. xxoxx
Fukkin oath mate 👍

Does anyone know where this was recorded?
He actually did have trouble in his brain. Makes the song very poignant.
It's rock. Forget all the other stupid terms ...
