The Easybeats – Friday On My Mind. 1967.

 

The Easybeats were an Australian rock/beat band, formed in Sydney in late 1964 and moved to London, England in late 1966. The group set out to conquer England and by November of that year they had reached the international top twenty with 'Friday On My Mind'. The band toured Europe with the Rolling Stones before returning to Australia in triumph for a national tour that began in May 1967. In 1986, they reunited for a national tour.

All five founder members were from families which had migrated to Australia from Europe: lead singer Stevie Wright and drummer Gordon "Snowy" Fleet were English-born; rhythm guitarist George Young was Scottish-born; lead guitarist Harry Vanda and bassist Dick Diamonde were Dutch-born. The band formed at the Villawood Migrant Hostel. The families of the band members spent their first years in Australia housed at the hostel in the early and mid-sixties.
