	The Easybeats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Easybeats were a rock and roll band in the 1960s from Australia.
		The London version produced by Simon Napier-Bell was actually recorded in the very same studio (IBC studios in Portland Place) that the Easybeats' had made the original in.
		The Easybeats disbanded without fanfare at the end of 1969, following a low-key farewell Australian tour.

	Harry Vanda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Born Johannes Jacob Hendrickus Vandenberg, on 22 March 1947, in The Hague, The Netherlands, his family migrated to Australia in the early 1960s and settled in Sydney.
		In 1966 he began a successful and enduring writing partnership with rhythm guitarist George Young; together they penned all of The Easybeats' late Sixties recordings, including their only major international hit, "Friday On My Mind".
		Vanda's first wife, Pam, committed suicide in mid-1966, only days before the group were due to leave for an extended visit to England, and Vanda was forced to leave his infant son in the care of his family in the Netherlands.

	MILESAGO - Groups & Solo Artists - The Easybeats
		The history of the Easybeats has been recounted in detail by rock historian Glenn A. Baker, and I must acknowledge his liner notes for the LP version of The Easybeats: Absolute Anthology, which are the primary source for this essay.
		The origin of The Easybeats was at the Villawood Migrant Hostel, in Sydney's south-western suburbs.
		After a brief panic, the Easybeats were smuggled out an emergency exit into a catering van and driven to the end of the runway, where they hid for half an hour until they rejoined the plane.

		The Easybeats were the best group of the Sixties the rest of the world didn't hear (until later).
		Legend has it that the Beatles' Paul McCartney was driving along a freeway when he heard the Easybeats' song on the radio and just had to stop and ring up the station to find out whose record it was.
		The stage was set for the Easybeats' world domination, but their talent was about to be overpowered and dragged under by two other forces, Stevie Wright's drift into drug dependency, and their manager Mike Vaughan finding himself out of depth.

	VH1.com : The Easybeats : Biography
		The Easybeats, however, were no longer as exciting a group to listen to or see, when they actually did perform.
		By mid-1969, the band had receded to a mere shadow of itself, and their music had regressed to a form of good-time singalong music, similar to the work of the Tremeloes, pleasant enough but nothing like the kind of work they'd been generation just two years before.
		Meanwhile, the Easybeats' complete output has been issued on CD through the Repertoire label (making their 1965-1966 Australian sides widely available around the world for the first time), and anthologies of their work are in print in England and America.

	AC/DC Easybeats
		The Easybeats were huge stars in their native country but their international success was more limited.
		After the disbandment of the Easybeats George Young teamed up with Harry Vanda and had a decree of success in a string of bands including Flash and the Pan and the Marcus Hook Roll band.
		Although the music of the Easybeats is almost worlds apart to the sound of AC/DC Angus and Malcolm have learned from their elder brother and shaped AC/DC into the large supergroup Rock legends that they have become.

		The Easybeats disbanded in 1969 but Harry Vanda and George Young went on to become Australia's most successful team of producers and songwriters.
		Biographical note: Widely regarded as Australia's greatest pop group in the mid 1960s, the Easybeats had their beginnings in the rough environment of Sydney's Villawood Migrant Hostel, where George Young and Harry Vanda were living in 1964.
		Just like Normie Rowe, whose rise to stardom coincided with the that of the Easybeats, their appearances were met with scenes of teenage hysteria.

	Magic In The Air - Easybeats
		Friday On My Mind let the Easybeats move on with confidence and resulted in spending most of 1967 and 68 in the studio, creating some of those years most ambitious work—which is no understatement.
		They tried their hand with all types of musical styles, from good old rock n' roll (Good Times) to psych pop (Land Of Make Believe), all the while finding new beats, melodies and guitar styles not heard in pop music before.
		Featuring 15 tracks from sessions dating from 1967-68, it shows the Easybeats should have been destined for greater things, but in similar style to the Kinks work of the same time, appreciation came much too late.

	The Easybeats MP3 Downloads - The Easybeats Music Downloads - The Easybeats Music Videos
		The Easybeats recorded extremely prolifically during their five-year career, and this gathers about a dozen unreleased tracks, a few stray cuts that ended up on fairly rare LPs or EPs, and three (yes, three) Coke jingles.
		The best of these offerings are six demos from early 1965; all originals, they show the band at their most British Invasion-influenced and have a mawkish, innocent charm, though they're hardly classic.
		The rest of the material is typical mid- to late-period Easybeats: extremely clever insofar as quirky songwriting and guitar playing, cheerful almost to the point of being grating, and not nearly as lasting or important as their obvious reference points (the Beatles, Kinks, Who, and Small Faces).

		The Easybeats version is rawer and the vocals have more personality, but I think that the Friends version's lyrical changes work well, and I prefer the way Friends do the chorus.
		Hey, this is the first Kipner project we've encountered thus far where the credits actually tell us who's who in the band (don't forget that he was in the mysterious Fut as well).
		As best as I can tell, the Easybeats were a big influence on this (Friends is an Easybeats album title) and I don't know them well, nor do I know Zoot, so I may be missing some obvious references.

		Although they didn’t hit it big right away stateside they had several #1 hits in their native country.
		While similarly talented and commercially unlucky groups such as The Creation, Love, Velvet Underground and The Zombies have gotten their retrospective due, The Easybeats remain one of the most underrated bands of the 1960s.
