The present
This all began to change in October 2002 when the band’s work on “Diorama” won them six ARIA Awards including “Best Group” and “Best Rock Album”.



In a last-minute surprise the trio returned to the stage to deliver a searing performance of “The Greatest View” which catapulted their album back into the national top 20.



The ARIA triumph capped a roller coaster year for the band – a year which in many ways traced the journey of “Diorama” itself – from bleak times into a much happier new dawn.



Silverchair embarked on a magical world wide tour, full of theatrics and dizzying lights.



“Our other albums have all been pretty black,” explained Daniel Johns when asked to summarise Diorama.



“This time around I wanted to try painting with lots of colours.”



Silverchair announced an indefinite hiatus following the tour, but the tsunami appeal concert, WaveAid, saw them reform and hint at new work together.
