Evans and the Glam Rock Need to Go
In the early days, most of the band dressed in some form of glam outfit. Sometimes, Evans was replaced by Dennis Laughlin, the band’s first manager and the original lead singer of Sherbet. Evans apparently didn’t get along with Laughlin, which contributed to the band’s bitterness toward Evans. By 1974, they had a strong live reputation.

Also, in 1974, promoter Michael Browning booked AC/DC to play at his club, the Hard Rock. The thing is, he wasn’t happy about their glam rock style and felt that Evans was the wrong lead singer for the band. He did, however, like the Young brothers’ guitar playing. Not long after, Browning got a call from the band – Laughlin quit as their manager, and they were stuck in Adelaide, Australia, with no cash.
