1. Angus & Malcolm Young's older brothers' band
The Easybeats only US hit. Also covered by David Bowie.

And played every Friday at 5:PM on KZOK FM in Seattle.

3. And in further Ac/Dc /Easybeats trivia...
George Young actually played bass on Ac/Dc's first Australian album "High Voltage". A studio session drummer also played most of the drums, as Phil Rudd had just joined the band. Bass player Mark Evans joined after the album was done.

6. Heh heh
Funny thing, although they formed in Sydney, the original members of the Easybeats were from the Netherlands and England.

Great trivia!

B-)
