The three Young brothers - George, Angus and Malcolm arrived in Australia from Glasgow in 1963. George found great success in the mid-60's as a member of the Easybeats.

Inspired by the success of their older brother, Angus and Malcolm formed their own band and called it AC/DC (taken from the label on the back of their sister's sewing machine) and premiered their sound on 31 December 1973 at Chequer's Club in Sydney.

Soon afterwards, they moved to Melbourne and reacquainted themselves with Bon Scott, who had worked as a roadie and driver for them in Sydney. The core of AC/DC had been formed and soon after, their first album High Voltage was released, followed up in 1975 by their second album, TNT.

1976 saw the band visit the UK for the first time and by 1977 they were ready to take on the US. More albums and sold out concerts saw the band becoming one of the world's biggest bands.

Tragedy struck on 19 February 1980 when lead singer Bon Scott died in London at the age of 33. The surviving members of the band decided to continue and recruited English singer Brian Johnson to perform as their new lead singer. His first album with the band "Back in Black" has gone 22x platinum in the US alone.

Since then, the band has continue to go from strength to strength to become one of the world's best known and best supported bands of all time. In 1988, they became one of the first acts inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame along with Angus and Malcolm's brother George (as part of Vanda and Young). In 2000, they were inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame, followed in 2003 by inclusion in the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
