“The first big-time rock band that Daniel Johns, Ben Gillies and Chris Joannou saw live was the popular Aussie group Screaming Jets in the summer of 1994 at the 3,500-seat-capacity Newcastle Workers’ Club. The boys were also the opening act.
“It was sold out, and we were pretty nervous,” recalls Johns, who was 15 at the time (Gillies and Joannou were 14). “It was just after we got a record contract. We played and then we got to go upstairs into the VIP area and watch the Jets. “But it was pretty weird,” he adds with colossal understatement. “The Jets sounded so good. We thought we must have sounded like shit.”
