The Sunnyboys / Riptides show at Brisbane’s Tivoli has completely sold-out! Due to the clearly overwhelming demand, both bands have agreed to a second Brisbane show, this time at the cities latest hot-spot, the all-new The Triffid, in Newstead on Thursday 12th March. Tickets for this inspired pairing go on-sale Friday 12th December from www.thetriffid.com.au // www.feelpresents.com and all OzTix outlets.
In the post-punk gloom of 1980-1982, the (in) frequent double-bills of Sunnyboys and Riptides became the stuff of legend, the best party in town. The Riptides anthemic show closer Shake It even provoking stage invasions long before it became de rigour. Although the initial life-span of the Riptides had them lasting just five years (1978 – 1983) their live legacy and tracks like ’77 Sunset Strip, Tomorrows Tears and Only Time have remained and the band have reformed sporadically over the years to great success, the last time being Brisbane’s 2006 Pig City festival which also featured the original Saints. Sunnyboys, of course, sold-out Brisbane’s Tivoli and all other east coast shows earlier this year following the reissue of their classic eponymous debut album. They return this time in support of the deluxe reissues of albums 2 & 3: Individuals and Get Some Fun due early 2015. Get some fun? Get a tonne!
