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.

The Young’s have to be one of the most successful music families in history. They all did it the hard way, they earned it on merit.

You really can’t deny the simplicity and honesty of 60’s bands.
They just got up, and did what they had to do - and mostly enjoyed it.
No influencers, faux celebrity or overdubbing. Just passion.

The Easy Beats great name & history! Love this song, playing on a Friday morning, always fun & light with a snappy beat. Pretty cool how the Australian flag is on front of the bass drum. Just so people knew😉

"Friday On My Mind" makes use of perhaps over a dozen different chords, yet it flows with tension and drama and melody. It's been decades and the song/record still amazes me.

How can anyone dislike this upbeat, underappreciated pop/rock classic?

A pivotal moment in Rock music history, this record introduced Australian Rock to the rest of the world. Band member George Young also wrote another worldwide hit from Down Under, "Love Is In The Air" by John Paul Young, and unleashed the fury called AC/DC. Good on you, mates.

When that was a hit on the radio, it was always a favorite with me.

This performance is not lip sync, and they got it all right.

One of the best groups to come out of Australia full stop IMO.

Not just great musicians but a really great extended family. I lived across the street from Malcolm in the mid 90’s and met his family and they are super nice people. R.I.P George and Malcolm. Hope Angus is doing alright.
