Welcome!

Hello!

This is a spinoff of my global Facebook group "silverchair" that I will use to archive news. The news section on the Facebook group isn't really formatted to allow old news to remain available without having an enormously long group homepage. So I will be using this as a secondary news page.

Whenever I post news to the group on Facebook I will also post it here, so that this blog will always be up to date and available to everyone, whether or not you are on Facebook. However, I will now be able to delete old news faster from the group resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing/less overwhelming homepage while still allowing access to all previous news for those that may have missed out or wish to refresh their memories.

The benefit to my news page versus Silverchair's official website and MySpace is that I condense whatever news may be found there, providing extremely concise updates so that in just a few seconds you can be up to speed on everything Silverchair! I also post links to interviews, videos, press, etc. that may not necessarily be featured on chairpage but could still be of interest to fans. I like to think that this complements their official pages by allowing busy chair fans to quickly see what news is available and then, upon finding something of particular interest, peruse the official sites at their leisure. For example, you can check here daily to ensure you don't miss an important concert announcement, but if all that's new is a magazine article, you know that you can wait until the weekend to head over to the chairpage and read it.

I hope you find this useful/enjoyable!
