Silverchair's frontman, Daniel Johns, grew up by the beach at Merewether near Newcastle - but when he writes songs he likes to draw the curtains and pretend he's in France. In 1992,together with schoolmates Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou he formed silverchair , now one of Australia's most successful bands. He's also half of The Dissociatives, with Paul Mac. http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/triplej/wideopenroad/coast/daniel_johns.mp3
