DAVE EVANS: 50 Years Of Rock, Still Sexy And Tough

DAVE EVANS: 50 Years Of Rock, Still Sexy And Tough

Interview by Angela Croudace
Half a century on from his Rabbit days and even longer since fronting the very first line-up of AC/DC, Dave Evans hasn’t slowed down one bit. Celebrating 50 years of Rabbit with the new album Defenders of Rock, the self-proclaimed “King of All Badasses” still lives by the mantra: every song a killer, no song a filler.
Speaking to us from Mexico, Evans radiates the same unstoppable energy that’s defined his career. “I’m lucky I went solo years ago,” he says. “I can record with anyone, anywhere in the world. If someone gives me the shits, I just say, ‘See ya later!’” That autonomy, he explains, keeps his fire burning and his fans around the globe ready to rock.
Evans credits his longtime collaborator and Rabbit guitarist Mark Tinson, “the king of all riffs,” for the new album’s punchy sound. “Rabbit’s a party band — sexy and tough. The world needs Rabbit right now,” he grins. “No doom and gloom. Just rock and roll, baby.”
Reflecting on the early Aussie rock scene, Evans recalls when “getting signed was like being touched by God.” Yet, even as times change, he believes the secret to survival is simple: energy, hooks, and happiness. “I still go out there to make people happy,” he says. “When they leave my show, they’re smiling and that’s what it’s all about.”
At 50 years of Rabbit and counting, Dave Evans proves that real rock ’n’ roll never dies — it just keeps getting louder!
