How silverchair got their name
One day the boys were really bored in school. They decided to request some songs on the radio when they got home. They were talking to one of their friends about how they didn't like Nirvana much so the friend told them to listen to "Sliver" and they also wanted to request "Berlin Chair" by You Am I. Daniel told Chris to write down sliverchair to abbreviate it, and Chris misspelled it to say silverchair.
