Sydney band Sunnyboys remain one of the most highly regarded and best-loved bands of the Australian post-punk era. Fronted by the enigmatic and youthful singer/songwriter and guitarist Jeremy Oxley, the band breathed some freshness and vitality into the Sydney music scene in the early 80s.
Essentially Sunnyboys wore their influences on their sleeve - The Remains, The Flamin' Groovies, The Kinks and The Beatles with a dash of Detroit muscle thrown in for good measure.

"Desperate Moves" is a rock instrumental piece, and the very first music composition I ever recorded. I wrote this back in 2001. This version was re-recorded in 2009. I could never find a decent vocal melody to match the music, hence why it has remained an instrumental. I'm playing all the instruments on this track.more
"City of Utopia" is an ambient, new wave instrumental piece, transcending time and space. It was a major change in musical direction from my usual genre, but I was happy with how it turned out. Click the YouTube link to watch the music video.more
