Oh boy, get ready for some exciting news that you’ve all been waiting for… or not. Dave Evans, the original frontman of AC/DC, has released a new single called “Loup Garou” (which is French for “Werewolf” because, you know, that’s not a cliché at all). The track will be available on selected streaming platforms and on CD on October 2, 2026, because who doesn’t love physical media? You can stream it on YouTube, but let’s be real, you’re probably just going to skip to the good part… or not.
The single is part of a trilogy of releases from Evans and his partner Mark Tinson, because trilogies are all the rage these days. It features a star-studded cast of musicians from Australia’s most iconic rock bands, including Justin Ngariki and Scott Johnston from Rose Tattoo, and Laurie Marlow from Heaven. Because, you know, when you’re a rock star, you need a lot of other rock stars to make your music sound cool.
So, for those who don’t know (and let’s be real, that’s probably most of you), Dave Evans was the original singer of AC/DC. He recorded their first two singles, “Can I Sit Next To You Girl” and “Baby, Please Don’t Go”, but was kicked out of the band in 1974. He was replaced by Bon Scott, who went on to become a legend in his own right. But hey, who needs Bon Scott when you have Dave Evans, right?
The Story Behind the Song
In an interview with Guarda Volume podcast, Evans talked about his time with AC/DC and why he left the band. Apparently, it was all about the money (or lack thereof). He said: “We were very young — we were all very, very young. And our ambitions were forever. I didn’t go, ‘Oh, I’m gonna be in a band.’ No. I had my whole career, my whole life to sing.” Yeah, because that’s exactly what I want to hear from a rock star – a bunch of excuses about why they didn’t make it big.
Evans also talked about the iconic singer who replaced him, Bon Scott. He said: “Poor Bon Scott. Bon Scott joined the band and he went through a lot of crap too. And he ended up dead.” Wow, what a glowing endorsement. I’m sure Bon Scott’s family is just thrilled to hear that.
What’s Next for Dave Evans?
So, what’s next for Dave Evans? Will he finally make it big with his new single? Probably not, but hey, a guy can dream, right? He’s already talking about his next project, which will probably feature a bunch of other washed-up rock stars trying to make a comeback. Because that’s what the world really needs – more music from has-beens.
In the meantime, you can stream “Loup Garou” on YouTube and pretend like you’re listening to something cool. Just don’t forget to buy the CD, because physical media is all the rage these days. And who knows, maybe one day Dave Evans will be back on top, rocking out with the best of them. But until then, we’re stuck with this… thing. 🎸👎
