The Valentines (rock band)

The Valentines were an Australian pop band active from 1966–1970, chiefly noted for their lead singers, Bon Scott, who later went on to success as lead vocalist with AC/DC; and Vince Lovegrove, who subsequently became a successful music journalist and manager of Divinyls.

In late 1967, The Valentines moved to Melbourne in search of greater success, and soon toured other major cities.

With differing opinions within the band concerning musical direction, and a much-publicised drugs bust in September 1969, group stability began to suffer.

Although they still had a strong fanbase in certain areas of the country, especially back home in Perth, The Valentines decided to disband amicably in August 1970.

Lovegrove found success as a music journalist, and guitarist Wyn Milsom became a sound engineer.
