Silverchair 2023

After years of emotional ups and downs, Silverchair’s two surviving members, drummer Ben Gillies and bassist Chris Joannou, share their stories for the first time ever. It’s an insightful look into one of Australia’s most successful bands.

Narnia fans may be delighted to know that The Silver Chair will soon get its own movie adaptation! According to NarniaWeb, Oscar-nominated screenwriter David Magee (Life of Pi and Finding Neverland) has completed the script draft.

Early Life and Education

Silverchair was established to equip knowledge creators with tools necessary for success in today’s information economy. Our platform offers unconflicted technology infrastructure, self-serve publisher tools, and industry-leading standards to support knowledge production.

Silverchair began in Ben Gillies’s garage when three high school kids from Newcastle formed the band in 1982. Their breakthrough single Tomorrow propelled them onto Australian charts, worldwide touring, and fame. Diorama represented an important musical step forward for Silverchair by adding strings, horns and mature lyrics into their sound; and touring it worldwide before joining Powderfinger on their Across The Great Divide tour – their last joint tour together.

Professional Career

Ben Gilles, drummer for Silverchair, is now worth more than one million thanks to their album sales and world tour royalties. Driving an EH Holden sedan and working behind the counter at Sound World record store are his sources of wealth.

In 1994, four schoolmates from Newcastle’s Merewether surfing suburb formed the Innocent Criminals as a band. Their debut single Tomorrow catapulted them onto a trajectory toward chart-topping hits, world tours, and lasting fame.

Personal Life

Daniel Johns made headlines in 2023 when he signed with music company BMG to represent his entire catalogue, shortly after co-founding Silverchair bandmates Chris Joannou and Ben Gillies released a tell-all memoir entitled Love & Pain.

Silverchair’s story was detailed in an unauthorised book written without their approval; Joannou and Gillies recently told Australian Story that writing their narrative had been cathartic for them.

Silverchair have gone from practicing in their garage to taking to world stages like Roseland and accepting ARIA awards in 1995 despite years of heartache, drugs use, booze, drugs and infighting within their ranks. But even amid all this turmoil and upheaval their friendship has survived and thrived despite any difficulties or disagreements within. Two examples are the Roseland dressing-room food fight or sending Josh Shirley (son of Frogstomp producer) to accept their statuettes instead – both are testament to this fact!
