Label: Eleven: A Music Company
THE STORY SO FAR … Silverchair are one of the most acclaimed and successful Australian bands of all time. They have won more ARIA Awards than any other artist and they have enjoyed more #1 albums than any other band in Australian music history. They have sold more than six million albums around the world.

The group’s members were all born in 1979 in the Newcastle surf suburb of Merewether. Singer/guitarist Daniel Johns and drummer Ben Gillies started making music together at primary school and schoolmate Chris Joannou later joined on bass. They got their big break in mid-1994 when they won a national demo competition conducted by SBS TV show “Nomad” and Triple J.

The band changed its name from Innocent Criminals to Silverchair and in August 1994 they released their winning demo – a track called “Tomorrow”. The song eventually spent six weeks at #1 on the Australian singles charts and 20 weeks in the top 10. In 1995 it became the most played song of the year on U.S. modern rock radio.

Silverchair’s debut album frogstomp, recorded in just nine days in early 1995, was a raw sounding slab of alternative rock. A #1 hit in Australia and New Zealand the disc went on to become the first Australian album since INXS to hit the U.S. top 10, selling more than 2.5 million copies throughout the world. As frogstomp and “Tomorrow” propelled Silverchair to music superstardom through 1996 the group juggled memorable performances on the roof of Radio City Music Hall and tours with Red Hot Chili Peppers alongside full time schooling commitments back home in Newcastle.

     hey guys! I'm from Chile, although I'm in Melbourne for a couple of weeks for studies. You're one of my favourite bands ever. The last weekend I found "Neon Ballroom" in a downtown store and I got it. It brings me wonderful moments because I was in school during those days. "Freak Show" was one of my first CDs  that I purchased and we sang the songs with my friends in school, really magical. I still sing and enjoy your songs, you tocuhed me forever! Thank you for everything and good luck for each member.
