Stevie Wright, The Easybeats' Lead Singer Has Died

Founder and Publisher. Based in Brisbane.
Howard started 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 magazine to become Australia's largest – and only national – street press while forging a digital-first imperative for the title in the mid-naughties. He's judged more battle of the bands than he cares to remember and proud of the myriad media partnerships the company has earned across the music, arts and comedy sectors. 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}
