On silverchair’s first Frogstomp era tour of the US, our tour bus driver said his favourite song of ours was ‘Kim Bassinger’. We were confused until he sung the melody to ‘Pure Massacre’ with the lyrics ‘Kim Bassinger’ and he was dead serious. This is a true story.
I come bearing bad and good news. Bad news is the release of FutureNever has been delayed until April 22 (my Birthday). Good news is, it will include a song with Van Dyke Parks called ‘Emergency Calls Only’ and it is one of the most honest songs I’ve ever written. Dan x
Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns opens up to Carrie about his complicated feelings towards the band and why we'll probably never see him perform live again.
The first episode of Spotify's 'Who Is Daniel Johns?' is out today.

1/4: silverchair (we had a lower cased s at the time) opened the MTV Music Awards on the roof of Radio City Music Hall as 15/16 year olds and it was fucking terrifying 
That same year I bought a guitar (named the Twangomatic) at my favourite shop in NYC Rudy's Music

Sony hell pist at me cos I brought my phone and called my mate while shooting the Tomorrow vid “I’m makin a fkn music video Thommo!” and now they have to use a special computer to take the phone out of all the shots. $2k a day and it looks like I’m holding an imaginary phone now
Thank you for listening to my podcast Who Is Daniel Johns? I didn’t know that I needed that experience but I did. The reception around the world has inspired me and I’m not anxious about what comes next anymore, I’m ready for the FutureNever.

Anthem for the Year 2000. This shot perfectly encapsulates the Spirit of 99 which is why we created the limited edition tee that comes with this bundle. Again I won’t explain this tee, if you know- you know. Link to purchase

You might remember Silverchair as the band that sort of looked like Hanson from the '90s, but they were way better than Hanson. Today we rank all of Silvechair's albums and maybe we will get to Hanson eventually. Click here:
CONFESSION TIME - In 2015 when I released my first solo album 'Talk', I felt like it was a bit thirsty to ask people to vote for me in the triple j Hottest 100 (or anything really).
You know where that got me? (1/4)
It felt only right to announce this groundbreaking grunge, sci fi Featurette to the US audience on the largest animated billboard in NYC where Daniel’s tomorrow changed - TeamFuture

2/4: and as we were leaving in the cab my Dad and I saw William Patrick Corgan leave with a new guitar too but I was afraid to approach him because I thought he probably hated my band - I remember that moment vividly. In 1999 we did MTV TRL with blink-182 when we toured
I can’t quite believe that this has become the thing that it has, but my man Guissepi has designed this completely ridiculous ‘The Scoundrel’ tee in response to 1000 messages I’ve had about this whole scandal 🤣 (if you have been following this saga over on my IG) Link in bio
I’m super excited to share that we have now built Gen1 of the cassette player of the future, FutureMan. A portable cassette player that plays wirelessly via the magic of Bluetooth. Gen1 of FutureMan is limited to only 999 units worldwide.🔮 Link In Bio to Pre-order Today 🔮
Dropping 9am tomorrow for only AUD$10!! Strictly limited Cassette + Pin bundles. Dan promised that he would be doing something super affordable for all fans to celebrate the FutureNever journey and will be donating 100% of his royalties to FutureNeverFund - TeamFuture
To celebrate my love for Newy, Radio Velvet has a Newy bundle with a signed Red and Blue marble vinyl, a postcard from 1997 me (with a super random message from my 17 year old self) and a randomly selected time-travelling DanieLorean pin, LINK IN BIO if you want one. Dan💙❤️

🥵 1997 pin drops 9am AEST Weds 🥵 The first drop of the FutureNever Cassette Club was a huge success with the 1995 cassette+pin selling out a day after release. Next up is the freaky 1997 pin featuring a sweaty 17 y/o Daniel Johns dropping tomorrow via Cassette Club link in bio
All vinyl variants (excluding FreakNever and Futurama) ordered via Sound Merch will begin shipping from Friday Oct 7th. To celebrate, I��ll be wearing a TeamFuture onesie and working out of Sud City - Come and see the most realistic hologram of all time in action🐸🧼Dan x
Barely any thought went into throwing that frog on the album cover but it became a bit annoying and iconic, not necessarily in that order. FutureNever is about being excited about what is to come, being thankful for the present, learning from the past & making it your superpower.
TeamFuture has partnered with the legends at

Perhaps my years of dishwashing by hand to pay for my amp fostered an early appreciation of home appliances? 😂
For years, I couldn’t get away from frogs. The success of frogstomp meant that this humble amphibian would follow me everywhere around the world.

While 'FutureNever' had no singles or music videos, triple j jumped on ‘I Feel Electric’ nice and early and showed it a lot of love. It’s a song about finding energy through human connection.

And c ) absolutely no pressure at all . I’m just playing the game with my heart on my sleeve. (3/4)
I’ve always loved the idea of taking something old and dirty, throwing it in a machine for an hour and having it come back refreshed and renewed. For this reason, laundromat trips on tour were as exciting and memorable as any festival appearance to me.
My label tells me

for 'Aerial Love', a number that is neither hot nor in the 100. This year I’m pleased to announce-
a) that I no longer think it’s a bad thing to ask for support (2/4)
For anyone who has ordered the vinyl, you will see how glorious this art is in a larger format. The washing machine motif is one you will see pop up a bit.
Why?
