Too Much of Not Enough: A Silverchair Podcast

This episode is a VERY special guest episode, where I speak to the one and only Nick Launay, the producer behind Silverchair’s Freak Show, Neon Ballroom and Young Modern. Not only that, Nick has worked with some of the greatest artists in history, working with everyone from Nick Cave and Kate Bush to Arcade Fire and the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs. We had a free-flowing talk about his time with Silverchair...

Silverchair’s 1999 album Neon Ballroom is the album that drew a line in the sand. With Neon Ballroom, the band had made a definitive statement: This is who we are now and we’re going to continue on this path. You can come along for the ride or you can get off here.

Recorded over nine days in late 94-early 95, Frogstomp saw a band raring to go and prove themselves as more than a one-EP wonder. Released March 27, 1995, Frogstomp hit number one on the ARIA and NZ charts, it was a top 10 hit on the US Billboard 200, the first Australian band to hit the top 10 in the US since INXS. Off the back of Frogstomp, Silverchair did a 46-date world tour, opening for the R...

It’s a tale as old a time: a band of 15-year-olds enter a battle of bands competition run by a TV show and a radio station. They win the competition and their prize is to record a four-song EP. That EP spends six weeks at the top of the charts, the band gets signed to Sony Records and becomes one of the biggest bands Australia has ever seen. Well, that’s the story if you’re Silverchair.  Contact m...
