One of Australia’s most decorated artists and songwriters Daniel Johns is bringing his worldwide premiere of What If The Future Never Happened? to Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and Melbourne this November.
The Silverchair frontman made the announcement on Instagram on Monday.
Prepare for an onstage conversation – or as Daniel is calling it a “featurette” – covering his life and creative process with never-before-seen photos.
Fans can expect moving archival footage, and unreleased recordings straight from his personal collection.
“Child fame is a funny thing. There’s a fleeting moment, an ‘in between’ where you know everything is about to change. It’s scary, it’s exciting, it’s irreversible,” he wrote on Instagram.
“Before Frogstomp and before Silverchair became popular there was a 14 year old boy in Newcastle writing riffs and songs.
“‘What If The Future Never Happened?’ is a story told through the anamorphic lens of the human memory. A lens that is distorted , surreal and honest at them same time.
“A biopsy rather than a biopic.
“After some time away from the spotlight, I’m nervous and excited about premiering the ‘featurette’ in some of Australia’s most iconic theatres.
“I’ll also join you in person to talk music and open up my demo vault to play music I’ve written over the last 3 decades. It will be chaotic, spontaneous and hopefully fun.”
