Awesome jam!

Fun fact: Easybeats guitarist George Young had two younger brothers, Malcolm and Angus, who would themselves go on to form a popular Australian rock band.

With this formation of a new band, came a lesson well earned by the Easybeats. Following the success of Fruday on My Mind and their first 3 albums, they relocated to London to seek fame and fortune.

The record company execs brought pressure for a album, of a more "sophisticated" song writing style. They from here they achieved only mediocre success. In 1969 they broke up.

Stevie Wright became a solo artist. His magnum opus is Evie, a 3-part epic rock romance. His life became a tragedy, blighted by a spiral into Heroin addiction and terrible rehabilitation experiences.

Harry Vanda and George Young became a songwriting team with huge success and an influence in the Australian market. They also wrote Grace Jones' Walking in the rain.

And the band formed by Angus and Malcom Young? They learned a valuable lesson. If something is working for you, do not change it. This band famously never changed their sound; they became undisputably the biggest hard rock band for the past 5 decades.

Here’s a link to Evie for anyone who hasn’t heard it. If you haven’t, take 11 minutes out of your day and prepare to be blown away

Greatest Australian song.

Easybeats used distorted guitars before The Beatles. They were really at the forefront of that style of music, but never had the worldwide fame.

"Flash and the Pan" were great. My favourite track of theirs was Where were you , where Stevie Wright acts out George Young's vocals in the music video.

Love it.

Sorry is also great. This video is good just for the dancing but I love this song too.

George Young is the brother of Angus & Malcom Young from AC/DC

I have always loved this song, from when I fits heard it on my little 8 transistor radio back when it came out. I would not have guessed 66, I would have put it a year later, which might be when I heard it, being from the back country we called the state of Maine and late for everything fashion). got some great lines ("everybody seems to Naaag me", "even my old man looks good", "I'll change that scene some day"). Very mid/late 60s with sitarish sound (almost stolen from a Rolling Stones riff), good changes, nice chorus, upbeat groove despite the negativity of the lyrics. What is to dislike?
