Back in 1978, a group of twenty-something mates from Sydney’s Northern Beaches formed a band called Choirboys. Surrounded by the wild, hedonistic chaos of the '70s youth culture, they soaked it all in - every misstep, every party, every outrageous moment. That life would ultimately give birth to their defining anthem: Run to Paradise.
Fueled by the stories that have long echoed through the halls of rock history - Run to Paradise became more than a hit; it became the opening line in a book of untold stories. Now, 35 years later, the band is ready to open that book and spill everything.
Part concert, part story, Run to Paradise is a raw, hilarious, and jaw-dropping journey through the golden era of Australian pub rock. Told in their own words, the Choirboys share the stories you were never meant to hear - wild nights, backstage madness, and the kind of insanity only a rock band could survive.
“They didn’t call it Pub Rock back then,” says frontman Mark Gable, “but we were there at the start - and somehow, we’re still here. It’s hearsay, it’s memory, it’s what we lived, what we were told. And a lot of it is just plain stupid… but that was the magic. There were no rules.”
Set to a soundtrack of the era’s most legendary tracks - from AC/DC, The Angels, Dragon, Screaming Jets, Deep Purple, Divinyls, and more - plus all the Choirboys’ hits including Boys Will Be Boys, Never Gonna Die, Struggletown, and of course, Run to Paradise.
This is Run to Paradise - where the stories are wild, the music is loud, and the truth is somewhere in between.
Had a great night. The Choir Boys were so entertaining. I never stopped dancing in my seat.
