- Daniel Johns
-
- Daniel Johns is a guitar player. He was born in 1979.
- He has blonde hair and is 16 years old. One day he heard a
- song on the radio with a guitar solo in it. He thought it was
- cool, so he wanted to get a guitar. He didnÆt get one until
- about a year later. When he got the guitar Chris Jonnou,
- Ben Gillies, and he, were bored. So they decided to start a
- band. When they did they made up a song called
- ôTomorrow.ö They entered it into a contest that was held in
- their city. The judges loved it, so they got to record a single
- with the song ôTomorrow.ö Their first single. Then they
- played it on the radio and everybody loved it. Everybody
- went and bought the single. A music company called Epic
- records came to them and they signed a record deal. They
- made their first album ôFrogstomp.ö
- They started to put a band together in 1992. They
- started in Australia. All of them lived about 5 minutes
- from each other and went to the same school. They were
- only 12 and 13 years old. When they became famous they
- were only 15, but one of them just turned 16.
-
- They just went on their first American tour, but they
- will be back this year for a cross-country jaunt, opening for
- the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their first album ô
- Frogstompö, at number 9 last week, just went platinum,
- and their video ôTomorrowö is in heavy rotation on MTV.
- Their CD ôFrogstompö is flying out in stores across the
- country. But the best thing is that the three of them
- combined are younger than Mick Jagger.
