===1990s: ''Midnight Sun'' to ''Yo-Yo''===

===2000–present===
The Choirboys recorded the ''[[Evolver (The Choirboys album)|Evolver]]'' album in 2002 and 2003 in between going on an extensive tour of Australia and New Zealand. Former [[Icehouse (band)|Icehouse]] drummer Paul Wheeler joined the band. The ''Evolver'' album was released in 2004 but due to low promotion for the album, it peaked at 174 in the Australian charts. The band returned to the Australian singles charts in Australia in July when dance producer [[Nick Skitz]] asked Gable to sing "Run to Paradise" on a dance reworking. The song, billed as "Nick Skitz vs. Choirboys", debuted in the top 20 of the Australian singles charts.<ref name="AusCharts"/>

In 2006, The Choirboys performed "Run To Paradise" on the Grand Final edition of ''[[The AFL Footy Show]]'' and released ''[[Big Bad and Acoustic]]'' with re-recorded versions of their earlier work. In 2007 they resurfaced to bring out their next studio album, ''[[So Easy (album)|So Easy]]'', which contained cover versions of [[The Easybeats]]' songs. Gable said, "We thought it a worthwhile exercise to explore them in a more modern light. We could redo things with a greater technical capacity [...] we could put in backgrounds that two-track recording wouldn't allow. With Pretty Girl, for example, we spent quite a bit of time, adding about 80 backing vocals around the lead".<ref name="Harbour"/>

Gable hosted a radio show, ''Vega Sunday Session'', on Vega 95.3 FM Sydney and Melbourne. The show featured local and international artists talking about their lives and their music. On 25 October, The Choirboys performed "Run to Paradise" at the Gold Coast SuperGP (formerly Indy Carnival). They released a second compilation, ''Never Gonna Die – The Very Best of Choirboys 30th Anniversary'' (2009), and followed with a national tour into 2010.<ref name="Metro"/>
