Dear LAS Member,

We formed Silverchair nearly 20 years ago when we were just 12 years old. Today we stand by the same rules now as we did back then ... if the band stops being fun and if it's no longer fulfilling creatively, then we need to stop.

Therefore after much soul searching we wanted to let you know that we're putting Silverchair into "indefinite hibernation" and we've decided to each do our own thing for the foreseeable future.

We assure you that this decision has not been taken lightly. In fact we've been struggling with it for quite a while now.

Back in 2009 we went into the studio to start work on a record. Initially things were going well and as a result we did some shows in 2010 to maintain creative momentum. However, over the months that followed in the studio it became clear to us that we were moving in different directions. Despite our best efforts over the last year or so, it's become increasingly clear that the spark simply isn't there between the three of us at the moment.

As a result we've decided to put the band into 'a deep sleep' while we all do other things that we find more inspiring right now. This means that Silverchair won't be making music together or playing shows any time soon. It also means that the three of us won't be working together unless and until it feels right again.

We understand some of you may be disappointed by this news but we really see it as a liberating and positive step for us at this point in our lives.

We also want to make it really clear that this decision has been made with the best possible intentions. We've always tried our hearts out to make the best music we could possibly make at the time - regardless of commercial consequences.

The three of us still truly care about each other. At the moment Ben’s busy in the studio recording his own music, Chris is working on various business, musical and charitable ventures while Daniel is creating a film soundtrack and working on other musical projects. We hope you'll continue to take an interest in our individual work over the years ahead.

In closing we'd like to acknowledge all the people 'behind the scenes' who've helped us keep this train on the tracks since we first started playing in a garage. There are too many to name but they know who they are and we truly appreciate all their love and hard work.

Above all though we want to thank you for all your support in good times and bad. You've put up with our long breaks between albums, our constantly changing musical styles and lots more. The unbelievable loyalty we've been shown by you our audience, and our friends, has never gone unnoticed or unappreciated. That’s why we wanted to tell you first.

With Sincere Thanks For Your Understanding.

Sweet Dreams.

Daniel, Ben and Chris

Właśnie miałam je wrzucić. Pechowy news, ale skoro wszyscy zajmują się muzyką (tak z grubsza) to może będziemy mieli 3 dobre projekty muzyczne. Jak można przypuszczać - niedostępne w Polsce Kwadratowy

Niby można się było tego spodziewać, jednak to okropna wiadomość. Może lepiej, skoro mieliby się męczyć, muzyka nie byłaby dobra i w ogóle, ale muszę się przyzwyczaić i spokojnie przetrawić tę wiadomość. Sad

Nie chce mi się nawet tego komentować Sad

Liczmy na to, że to tylko 'hibernacja' a nie totalny rozpad... A tak, może za 20 lat zrobią wielkie reunion i wyparawimy się na nich do Berlina albo do Pragi (na PL nie liczę)>
BTW, wszyscy jesteście na liście mailingowej i z powodu newsa weszliście na forum, czy też zaglądacie codziennie, tylko Wam też nie chce się zakładać nowych wątków..?

Marcin

Różnie to bywa z tym zaglądaniem. Czasem codziennie, czasem raz na 3-4 dni Smile

Uzależnione jest to od tego jak jestem zajęty Smile

Nieeee tylko nie to...szkoda i to wielka. Nawet nie mam słów by to skomentować

Doczytałam na chairpage, ze zamykają LAS.
Czyli jednak..: /.

NeonDevil

No to chyba jest to coś więcej niż zwykłe zawieszenie działalności

jackiebrown

Zawieszenie. Przynajmniej Ben na Twitterze zarzeka się, że to NIE rozpad.

NeonDevil

On tam rózne dziwne rzeczy wypisuje. Ja liczę przynajmniej na trzy dobre solowe albumy. I oby były rockowe Wink
