Stevie Wright, The Easybeats' Lead Singer Has Died

Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard launched 'Scene Magazine' in 1993. Paul Keating was Prime Minister. Whitney, Janet and Mariah all had Aussie #1s and Mark Zuckerberg was 9. Over 30 years he's overseen the growth of scenestr to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative in the mid-naughties. Social media remains a complete mystery to him. He's been spotted at raves, hip hop concerts, Motown revivals, judged battle of the bands, shot video for opening night and national awards red carpet, partnered with music industry showcases, comedy festivals and myriad other cultural productions ... and he interviewed Eddie Izzard. He likes Star Trek and a good Oxford comma — way too much fun at parties.

Iconic The Easybeats lead singer, Stevie Wright, has died, aged 68.


Wright featured three times – twice in the Top 20 – in a 'Top 100 Best Aussie Songs Of All Time' with 'Friday On My Mind (2) and 'Evie' (13) 'She's So Fine' (87). Friday On My Mind was a global smash reaching #1 Australia, #6 UK and Top 10 in France, Germany, Italy and The Netherlands as well as Top 20 in the US. {youtube}rBJLoYd8xak{/youtube}
