As young twenty-something-year-olds, Choirboys formed in 1978, growing up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. The wild, hedonistic lifestyle the band witnessed in the 70s gave birth to their seminal rock anthem, Run To Paradise. It’s about the stories and the “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll”, widely assumed of the music industry... and they tell it all.

Thirty-five years on, Run To Paradise, ultimately started the first chapter of a myriad of untold stories as recalled by a band that’s seen it all, heard it all, and who helped in the craziness.

Run To Paradise is a “spilling of the beans” of sorts. It's part story, part song that chronicles some of the wildest, most risqué, outrageous, and downright hilarious stories of Australian Rock. All, as these Oz pub-rock icons recall it. "Put it down to hearsay – it’s our opinion, it’s what we saw, it’s what people told us and most of it is extremely funny and incredibly interesting."

Behind the narrative, hear the classic songs that define the musical landscape of rock music in the ’70s and ’80s, including Deep Purple’s “Smoke On The Water”, Chuck Berry’s ‘Never Can Tell’, TMG’s ‘Jump In My Car’, Dragon’s ‘Are You Old Enough’, AC/DC’s ‘Long Way To The Top’ and Choirboys hits ‘Boys will Be Boys’ ‘Never Gonna Die’ ‘Struggletown’ ‘Run to Paradise’, and more.
