Wayne Evan  -  Bass Guitar & Vocals 

​

Coming from a musical Family in Sydney, Wayne was surrounded by Drums and Guitars as a baby. His Father being a drummer had band rehearsals in the garage where Wayne would hang out with them soaking up the sounds and giving him a knowledge of music from the 50's, 60's and 70's.
His Father's Record collection included The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Cat Stevens and he has carried this through as a major influence in his musical styles.
Wayne was playing drums as a toddler and moved onto the Guitar at age 7.

Wayne first hit the stage playing drums at age 9 in primary school talent quests and musicals where he was the only student in a band of Teachers. This continued through to his High school years where he was awarded a life time achievement in Musicals and the experience developed his live performance.

Wayne was 11 when he joined his first band as a drummer. It was at age 14 when Wayne picked up the Bass Guitar by chance and realised this was his instrument . By age 15 he had a band of his own, including his younger brother on the drums and was starting to develop his vocal skills and songwriting.

The Band was called "Not So Sweet" - a line from the Bowie song "Changes",and they stayed together playing and writing original material for 10 years. Not So Sweet Backed Stevie Wright from the Easy Beats for his final comeback show at Selina's in Sydney.
