He was the original lead singer for the Australian hard rock band AC/DC in 1973–1974 and sang on their debut single shortly before being replaced by Bon Scott.

[1][2] Evans was one of several members of AC/DC before the band matured and began to play all original music, along with Colin Burgess and Larry Van Kriedt.

During his time with AC/DC, Evans recorded one single, a Young/Young composition ("Can I Sit Next To You, Girl"/ "Rocking in the Parlour") which was released in Australia and New Zealand.

[6] Evans has cited jealousy and a physical altercation with the manager during a heavy national tour as the reason for his dismissal,[4][7] and has also said in interviews that the early history of AC/DC is unjustly ignored.

"[8] After AC/DC, Evans joined Newcastle (New South Wales) band Rabbit, replacing original singer Greg Douglas.
