Simon Wright was born on June 19, 1963 in England. At the age of 18, he played in a band called "Tora Tora" who only recorded one single. In 1980 he joined "AIIZ" with whom he recorded an album named "Witch of Berkelley". "Tytan" was the name of his next band in 1982, but they seperated in the summer of 1983. After reading an advertisement of a rock band `searching for a drummer who knows how to beat hardī he went to the audition and got the job. This band was AC/DC. He went on the "Flick of the Switch" world tour with them. This tour actually started in Canada and then led to the USA. He also recorded "Fly on the wall" and "Blow up your video" and played the "new" songs of the "Who made who" album. He left the band in 1989 and joined Ronnie James Dio.
Mark Whitemore Evans was born on March 2,1956 in Melbourne. In 1975, he met AC/DC who were looking for an experienced bass-player. He quickly joined the band and left it again in the summer of 1975. The reasons were growing tensions between him and Angus. He appears on the following albums: High Voltage, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap and Let There Be Rock.
He was the first singer of AC/DC, but Dave only recorded the very first single "Can I sit next to you girl". Because Dave was a glam rocker with his own little group of teenie bopper girls chasing after him. The band found the key to their success when their vocalist Dave Evans refused to go on stage one day and the bands chauffeur, Bon Scott got the gig by default.
