Celebrating the extraordinary musical legacy of The Easybeats, by releasing EasyFever: A Tribute to the Easybeats & Stevie Wright, a superb 2CD album in celebration of this ground-breaking group.
The band - Harry Vanda, George Young, Stevie Wright, Dick Diamonde and Gordon "Snowy" Fleet - formed in Sydney in 1964 and almost immediately 'Easy Fever' took Australia by storm and was soon to captivate audiences overseas. Their meteoric rise to stardom was due to releasing hit single after hit single, including classics such as Friday On My Mind, Wedding Ring, She's So Fine and Good Times. Their success saw them consistently get mobbed at airports, chased down streets and tour internationally with the Rolling Stones.
A year in the making, EasyFever sees the 'who's who' of contemporary Australian music come together to pay tribute to our most popular and successful band of the 60's, and pay homage to the band who carved the stone in the Australian musical landscape. From Jimmy Barnes to Ben Lee, from The Veronicas to Grinspoon, The Living End to Old Man River, these artists have all recorded their unique interpretation of these enduring songs from The Easybeats and Stevie Wright's majestic musical career. As well as this disc of today's hottest local bands tipping their hats to The Easybeats, there is also a second disc of all the original tracks.
EasyFever also features a previously unreleased Stevie Wright song, Motherfigure... with a twist. Albert Music unearthed from their vaults a never before heard track, written by Vanda & Young, initially slated to be the first single from Stevie's never-released third solo album in the late 70's. Now 30 years later, it will see the light of day as an amazing duet with rock legend Jimmy Barnes.
