Easyfever is showing no signs of slowing down.
Some of Australia's favourite music names are uniting to celebrate iconic outfit The Easybeats with the announcement of a tribute EP.
The Rebeat EP features Aussie legend Daniel Johns who has assembled his Vivid LIVE band for a special one-off tribute under the name Boom Tish, as well as KLP, The Bamboos featuring Montaigne, LDRU featuring Nicole Millar and San Cisco.
"The Easybeats legacy is undeniable and Harry and George in particular created a blueprint of self-sufficiency for Australian musicians that is more relevant in 2017 than ever," Johns said.
"I remember seeing a quote from George Young where he said Hello, How Are You was considered by many Easybeats fans an unwelcome departure from the band's typical rock sound… I feel like I can relate to this statement. This is probably why the track is one of my favourite Easybeats songs and Boom Tish had a lot of fun working on it.

"We could assume that having four friends work on the song in my lounge room, self-producing and recording it in a day and then sending it to the label via text message was a slight departure from the recording process of 50 years ago!"
Set for release on 24 November, Rebeat launches today with the release of Boom Tish's Hello, How Are You; check out the lyric video below.
The news comes only a week after The Easybeats' George Young passed away, while a two-part ABC mini-series on the band is set to screen later next month.
Meanwhile on the same day of the EP release, Alberts/BMG will drop The Easybeats' Absolute Anthology 1965 — 1969 on vinyl for the first time in 30 years.
