SILVERCHAIR
SWEEPS ARIAS (Australian Grammy® Awards) TO BECOME ALL TIME
AWARD LEADERS IN ARIA HISTORY WITH 19 TOTAL AWARDS!
ANNOUNCE
NOVEMBER/DECEMBER US TOUR
Silverchair
swept the 2007 ARIA Awards in Sydney last night. They won five ARIAs
- more than any other artist this year. Most significantly the band
took out the prestigious Album Of The Year award
for their acclaimed Young Modern. While
they've had five chart-topping albums over their career, this was
actually the first time that any Silverchair release
has received that honor.
They received the following awards:
Album Of The Year
Best Group
Single Of The Year
Best Rock Album
Highest Selling Single
This extraordinary achievement makes Silverchair the
most successful artist in the entire history of the ARIA Awards.
Last night's haul took the band's career tally to 19 eclipsing John
Farnham's previous record of 18 career gongs. Silverchair
opened the Awards telecast with a memorable performance of "Straight
Lines" and set the tone for a very special night that cemented
Silverchair in their rightful place as one of the most acclaimed
and successful bands in Australian music history
The ARIA's capped the busiest few months of the band's entire career.
They have toured non-stop over the last 16 weeks racking up nearly
60 shows around the world including international festival appearances
and their hugely successful "Across The Great Divide"
tour with co-headliners, Powderfinger. Those shows came to an end
on Friday night in Silverchair's home town of Newcastle.
