Dave Evans was born on July 20, 1953 in Carmarthen, Wales, his family immigrated to Australia when he was young. Evans is known for being the first lead singer of the Australian Hard rock band, AC/DC. 

Evans was the first lead singer of Australian rock band AC/DC. He was recruited in 1973 by brothers Angus and Malcolm Young, along with drummer Colin Burgess and bass player Larry Van Kriedt. He stayed with the band for a few months before being replaced by Bon Scott around September 1974. During his time with AC/DC, Evans recorded one single ("Can I Sit Next To You Girl" / "Rocking In The Parlour") which was released in Australia and New Zealand. A promotional video for "Can I Sit Next To You" was also produced. There is, however, an AC/DC bootleg titled In The Beginning which features Evans on vocals. He was also present on their first national tour supporting Lou Reed. ^{[citation needed]}

The Young brothers soon felt that Evans wasn't a suitable frontman for the group. According to them, he was more of a "glam rocker", inspired by the likes of Gary Glitter. Occasionally Evans would be replaced on stage by the band's first manager Dennis Laughlin, and when veteran rock vocalist Bon Scott met the Youngs and expressed an interest in joining the band, it soon became apparent that Evans' time with AC/DC was coming to an end. Evans also had personal problems with Laughlin, which contributed to the ill-feeling towards him.
