Empire Touring have gathered Australia’s finest rock stars to honour the music of Stevie Wright and The Easybeats for the EasyFever tour.
Chris Cheney from The Living End, Phil Jamieson of Grinspoon, Tim Rogers of You Am I, Kram of Spiderbait and Tex Perkins of Beasts of Bourbon, Tex Don & Charlie and The Cruel Sea, will form a supergroup capable of honouring Australia’s first international rock band.
‘’The Australian rock’n’roll landscape would look very different without the contribution of the Easybeats,” says Chris Cheney. “The energy and electricity of those old black and white TV performances have always been a source of Inspiration to me. I get goosebumps thinking about it”.
The shows will also feature the super Easyfever band: Jak Housden (The Whitlams), Ashley Naylor (Even), Dario Bortolin (Baby Animals), Dave Hibbard (Joe Bonamassa) and Clayton Doley (Divinyls).
The Easybeats were the DNA of the Australian rock bands that would follow. “They are one of the most influential Aussie bands ever and rightly bloody so,” says Chris. “The combined musical brilliance of that band and the songwriting skills means their tunes are absolutely timeless.’’
