Prepare for Silverchair and Circus Diablo

Silverchair is performing at the Wiltern on Saturday, July 14 and at the House of Blues in Anaheim on Sunday, July 15 in support of their highly anticipated and critically acclaimed “Young Modern” album. It comes out July 24 on Eleven: a music company through Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group.
On Young Modern, lead singer/guitarist Daniel Johns shared the producer role with Nick Launay (Midnight Oil, Arcade Fire, Talking Heads) who had helmed earlier Silverchair albums Freak Show and Neon Ballroom. Diorama producer, David Bottrill was brought in as mixer. Paul Mac was again on hand for keyboard duties as he was with the group’s two previous albums and legendary Beach Boys collaborator Van Dyke Parks reprised his Diorama role penning orchestrations for three songs which were recorded in Prague with an 80 piece orchestra.
Rolling Stone in Australia called the new album a "towering triumph.” The first single, “Straight Lines,” is already racking up some important radio stations across the country, including KROQ as of today! The song spent four weeks at #1 in their native homeland, making it Silverchair's biggest hit since their breakthrough single “Tomorrow” back in 1995. A video for the track can be found at www.chairpage.com or www.myspace.com/silverchair .

Circus Diablo is performing a headlining show at The Roxy on Friday, July 20 and they’ll be rockin’ the second stage of Ozzfest on Saturday, July 21 at the Hyundai Pavilion in Devore. The band is made up of Billy Morrison (vocals/Camp Freddy), Billy Duffy (guitar/The Cult), Ricky Warwick (guitar/The Almighty), Brett Scallions (bass/Fuel) and Charles Ruggiero (drums live/Slunt).
They’re launching a massive summer tour as part of Ozzfest mixed in with headlining dates of their own starting July 12 in Seattle to promote their self-titled debut album, which hits stores July 3 on Koch Records. Guitarist Rob Patterson (Korn) will be filling in for Billy Duffy while he does some shows with The Cult this summer, but Billy is expected to be at these SoCal shows. Matt Sorum (Velvet Revolver) plays drums on the album, but unfortunately will not be performing with the band this summer. www.myspce.com/circusdiablo is the band’s Myspace page.
