Australian rockers RAISE THE FLAG have lured two ex members of rock legends AC/DC for the first time to help celebrate Bon Scott’s 65th Birthday weekend.

In a world first, Mark Evans and Simon Wright, both ex-AC/DC, join forces to help Oz rock fans celebrate the world’s #1 rock singer, Bon Scott.

On the rhythm section Simon Wright (UK/USA), best known for his drum work with AC/DC, UFO, DIO and who recorded on albums Fly On The Wall, Who Made Who, Blow Up Your Video along with six Dio albums, joins Mark Evans, bass man during AC/DC’s rise to fame in the 70?s and whose work is on albums High Voltage, TNT, Let There Be Rock and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

Raise The Flag features guitars by ex-THE ANGELS star, James Morley powering one Marshall stack and introduces Mick Adkins who drives the second Marshall stack and takes on the big task of laying down Angus solos. The pair belt out the songs in ‘Young’ fashion and are elevated by soaring rock vocals delivered by Anthony ‘Skenie’ Skene of THE POOR.

The Bon But Not Forgotten set list will feature songs written, co written or sung to fame by Bon Scott and include many of the classic anthems Australians have taken as their own such as ‘Long Way To The Top’, ‘If You Want Blood’, ‘Jailbreak’ and ‘Whole Lotta Rosie’. Die hard fans can also expect plenty of surprises.

Organizers state: "For the Fremantle show, as midnight rolls over, we will raise the flag to Bon for his 65th Birthday and celebrate all the way through to the Gold Coast. Though many of these performers never met Bon, it’s the legacy he left behind that these musicians admire and brings them together to remind you that he is Bon But Not Forgotten."
