This Australian Alternative-Rock act was conceived by singer+guitarist
Daniel Johns and keyboardist+synth programmer Paul Mac.
The pair first met when Mac remixed "Freak" by Johns' multi-platinum
band, Silverchair, in 1997. Over the
years that followed, Mac contributed keyboards and other noises to Silverchair's
"Neon Ballroom"and "Diorama" albums; he also guested
onstage with the band a couple of times.
Through these creative experiences the guys became friends, this led them
to create an experimental EP called "I Can't Believe It's Not Rock"
in 2000.
In mid-2003 the two got together to write and record "The Dissociatives";
they elected to produce the disc themselves; all the music was written
jointly with Johns subsequently penning the words and melodies. They recorded
the basic tracks in London then a few months later they regrouped in Sydney
and Newcastle to finish it off; the duo's self-titled debut album was
fianally released in April of 2004, it included two singles, "Somewhere
Down The Barrel" and "Young Man, Old Man (You Ain't Better Than
The Rest)".
