While I was watching the Australians’ Video Music Awards the other night, I come accross a group called The Dissociatives. And I notice this frontman, who looks much like Silverchairs’ Daniel Johns. I even asked my brother if he notice it. But we tried to come up with every possible reason not to believe the bloke on the telly is not Daniel Johns. All that I know was, Silverchair is taking a year break because of Johns nerve illness. That’s why we dont expect a new album, just waiting for the Wave Aid performance that Silverchair promised to performed at. Well we know he got married to Natalie Imbruglia, but we we’re trying to create reason why the guy on the telly that night was not Daniel Johns.

He had tattoos, and very crew cut hair and beard. We know Johns would always be in his long dirty blonde almost wet hairdo. And when the last time we saw Johns on TV or anything, he’s very skinny. And this bloke was not.

Yesterday afternoon, we watched the Wave Aid for Silverchair performance on Channel [V]. When only catched at the halfway of the show. Silverchair was playing as we are very familiar with Silverchairs’ riff and all. Then my brother asked, “Isnt that the guy we saw a few nights ago? Is that Daniel Johns?” I was shocked! Thats Daniel Johns, the same guy we saw on AVMA a few nights ago. With nipple piercing, tattos and all. Oh my…

Seems like Daniel Johns were doing a side project with Paul Mac, and electronic musician, in a band call The Dissociatives. Well, you know how Aussie music scene are very different and always discluded from the world, accept for a few major act.

The first of their EP was called “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Rock” in 2000. They won The Best Video Music Awar on AVMA last night with ‘Somewhere Down The Barrel’ video.

Their self titled album was released on April 2004.

Who ever got any information about this side project of Daniel Johns, please do exchange your information with me. And if you know where to get the album, plz do inform me also. Thanx…
