Did You Know...
The Easybeats were an Australian band from the 60s who were huge over there, nominal in the UK, and had a big US hit with "Friday On My Mind." The second guy introduced in this clip is one of the guitarists and songwriters, George Young. He is older brother of Malcom and Angus Young, who are, of course, the diminutive guitar combo from AC/DC.
Pull that one out at your next cocktail party.

I think the Saints are my favorite Australian band. But the Easybeats are probably held in higher esteem than anyone there - including AC/DC, INXS, etc.
George Young and Harry Vanda also produced the first several AC/DC albums before Mutt Lange came on the scene.
Judging by all the screaming, The Easybeats must have been Australia's Beatles. Or Stones, maybe.
So I guess you did know...
I didn't, but what's new?
I didn't either.
