In the mid-1960s, Australia was gripped by a fever. The Easybeats became Australia's first international rock stars. Over four tumultuous years 'Easy Fever' spread around the world.

A lost documentary filmed in 1967 chronicling the Australian pop group, The Easybeats.

The Easybeats Coca Cola Special

If you every needed to show somebody the effect Easyfever had on mid 1960’s Australia, then you would only need to show them their Australian “farewell” television special. Although completely mimed, the bands energy is absolutely electrifying as the storm through their set list in front of a studio audience of screaming teenagers complete with go-go dancers and pop idol Billy Thorpe to compère. Special guests of the program included Janice Slater performing her then current release ‘We’re Doin’ Fine’ with it’s flip side ‘If You Don’t Think’ and Tony Worsley with ‘Raining in My Heart’ and ‘Knocking On Wood’ (released that month on Sunshine).
