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.
Fuelled 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 all, as these Oz pub-rock icons recall it.
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.
