With this formation of a new band, came a lesson well earned by the Easybeats. Following the success of Fruday on My Mind and their first 3 albums, they relocated to London to seek fame and fortune.
The record company execs brought pressure for a album, of a more "sophisticated" song writing style. They from here they achieved only mediocre success. In 1969 they broke up.
Stevie Wright became a solo artist. His magnum opus is Evie, a 3-part epic rock romance. His life became a tragedy, blighted by a spiral into Heroin addiction and terrible rehabilitation experiences.
Harry Vanda and George Young became a songwriting team with huge success and an influence in the Australian market. They also wrote Grace Jones' Walking in the rain.
And the band formed by Angus and Malcom Young? They learned a valuable lesson. If something is working for you, do not change it. This band famously never changed their sound; they became undisputably the biggest hard rock band for the past 5 decades.
