- The Easybeats were a rock and roll band from Australia. They formed in Sydney in late 1964 and split at the end of 1969. They are widely regarded as the greatest Australian pop band of the 1960s and were the first Australian rock and roll act to score an international pop hit with their classic 1966 single "Friday on My Mind". [A year earlier Australia's folk-pop group, The Seekers, had international hits in 1965. ] The Easybeats manager was former Sydney real estate agent, Mike Vaughan. The band's line-up exemplified the influence of post-war migration on Australian society. All five founding members were from families who had migrated to Australia from Europe: lead singer Stevie Wright and drummer Gordon "Snowy" Henry Fleet were from England; rhythm guitarist George Young was from Scotland; lead guitarist Harry Vanda and bassist Dick Diamonde were from The Netherlands.
- The Easybeats waren eine australische Popband, die mit Friday On My Mind November 1966 ihren größten Hit hatten. Die Easybeats wurden 1964 in Sydney gegründet. Die Bandmitglieder kamen alle aus Familien, die aus Europa eingewandert waren. Sänger Stevie Wright war aus London, Rhythmusgitarrist George Young kam aus Glasgow, Harry Vanda (Leadgitarre) und Dick Diamonde (Bass) stammten aus den Niederlanden, und Drummer Gordon "Snowy" Fleet kam aus Liverpool. 1965 wurden die Easybeats die erfolgreichste Popband Australiens und lösten eine Hysterie aus – ähnlich der Beatlemania in Europa –, die bald als Easyfever bezeichnet wurde. Die Band produzierte eine Reihe von Hits, alle von Young und Vanda geschrieben, darunter For My Woman (#5), She's So Fine (#1), Wedding Ring (#6), Sad And Lonely And Blue, Easy As Can Be, Women (Make You Feel Alright) (#1), In My Book, Come And See Her (#1), I'll Make You Happy (#1) und Sorry (#4). Sogar für die australische Coca-Cola-Werbung wurden sie mit zwei gesungenen Jingles eingespannt, was damals so üblich war. Ende 1966 zogen die Easybeats nach London. Hier entstand Friday On My Mind, ihr größter Hit, geschrieben von Vanda und Young (und gecovert unter anderem von Gary Moore). Es folgten Tourneen durch Europa und Amerika. 1967 kam Tony Cahill als neuer Drummer für Snowy Fleet. Weitere Hits: "Made My Bed, Gonna Lie In It" (was die Rückseite von "Friday On My Mind" war) sowie "(And The Music) Goes Round My Head" im Januar 1968, "Hello, How Are You" und "Falling Off The Edge Of The World" (März 1968) sowie "St. Louis" (Mitte 1969). 1969 lösten sich die Easybeats auf. Vanda und Young blieben als Songschreiber und Produzenten erhalten (siehe 1971 "Sha Sha" von Grapefruit - sie singen im background mit... ) und u. a. für John Paul Young ("Love Is In The Air", "Standing In The Rain", "Lost In Your Love") und AC/DC (bei denen Youngs jüngere Brüder Angus Young und Malcolm Young spielen). Vanda / Young starteten dann unter anderem Namen Ende der 70er ein Comeback: Flash and the Pan mit Hits wie "Hey St. Peter", "Down Among The Dead Men", "Midnight Man", "Early Morning Wake Up Call" und "Ayla". Ab 1986 traten die Easybeats im Rahmen des Revival-Booms wieder auf. Zurzeit spielen sie in der Besetzung Steve Wright (Gesang, Leadgitarre), M. Heaton-Dykes (Gitarre, Backing Vocals), Eddi Carter (Bass, Backing Vocals) und Nigel Crompton (Schlagzeug, Backing Vocals).

Son recordados como la mayor agrupación australiana en la década de los 60`s y la primera de dicho género pop de ese país en lograr un hit a nivel internacional, con su clásico de 1966 "Friday on My Mind" (previamente el grupo folk-pop, The Seekers, tuvieron éxito internacional en 1965 con otro estilo musical). Aunque no pudieron repetir el gran suceso que lograron en su país adoptivo (Australia), si tuvieron una importante repercusión en Europa con su enérgico pop rock de garaje con influencias Rhythm and blues, Pop barroco y música psicodélica.

La loro formazione rappresenta il risultato del dopo guerra, poiché ebbe luogo una forte emigrazione in Australia dall'Europa, e soprattutto dal Regno Unito.

Ich menedżerem został były agent nieruchomościami w Sydney Mike Vaughan. Członkowie zespołu byli przykładem wpływu powojennej migracji na australijskie społeczeństwo. Wszyscy członkowie-założycielie pochodzili z rodzin, które przywędrowały do Australii z Europy: wokalista Stevie Wright i perkusista Gordon "Snowy" Henry Fleet pochodzili z Anglii, gitarzysta rytmiczny George Young ze Szkocji, gitarzysta prowadzący Harry Vanda i basista Dick Diamonde z Holandii.
