Front-man Mick Hughes shares "I was lucky enough to collaborate with my good friend Asher Chapman (Bearfoot) in writing this upbeat 2Tone ska inspired tune. It's a happy, joyful tune that gives a nod to (but doesn't name) a very special Sunshine Coast venue, "right by the corner on Ocean Street" where we have had many very memorable shows."
"As a band, we like to put on a 'show', more than just a gig, we're well known for our onstage antics that will often see our 9 piece horn section end up playing a tune on the dancefloor amongst the audience. Big energy, big fun, happy vibes! It's the Sunny Coast Rude Boys way!”
