  • The Easybeats were an Australian rock band that formed in Sydney, Australia, in late 1964, and disbanded at the end of 1969. They were the first rock and roll act from Australia to score an international pop hit with the 1966 single "Friday on My Mind".
    All five founding members were from families that had migrated to Australia from Europe: lead singer Stevie Wright and drummer Gordon "Snowy" Fleet were from England; rhythm guitarist George Young was from Scotland; lead guitarist Harry Vanda and bassist Dick Diamonde were from the Netherlands.

    I was around in the 60s and apart from Friday on my mind they didn't get much publicity...in the UK..

      I agree with you that the beatles really thought that they were all great and powerful and that they were greatest band of all time. But there was a lot more songwriter and and performer s out there that just didn't get the station because everyone was falling at their feet like they were God s or something.😢😢😢😢😢. They should have had to work for all they got. So sad nobody else was looked at. They had their cash cow's and milked them hard.. 😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😢😢

      @OldiesMomma Рік тому +2

      I have to agree. They were making way to much of the Beatles, and wasn't given any thought to other groups that were just as good. The Easybeats needed to be released in other countries to get their music out there so that they were Heard internationally and recognized every where. It should not have made no difference that they were from Australia.

      If they had been able to come to the USA instead of the UK and had some decent Management they would have been given the same treatment that the Beatles got.
      We would have put them on all our music shows,
      and the Late night talk shows like Jonny Carson. It was the UK that was responsible for the way they turned out.
      The Idiot that told them that their music was to soft should have been Fired. It was the UK that introduce them to Drugs in the first place! The people who were responsible for that should have been Arested for giving Drug's to Minors. Some of the Easybeats was only in their Teens

      The Music industry was very crooked. They were making every body pay for everything that they did for the difference bands. If they didn't make it they had to pay for everything that was done for them.
      And george Martin was not the brilliant man every body makes him out to be.
      He spent to much money and time on a group that took music from other people in the USA reworked it put a English accent to it and gave it back to us.
      And every body made a mistake for not suing them for copy rights and theft

    Their first hit, Friday on my mind, a song that hasn't aged at all after more than 50 years, reached #1 only in Australia. The rest of the world said Meh.
