Daniel Johns Instagram – Until Past, Present and FutureNever this picture was stored in my Mum’s cupboard. She took it while I was playing stupid made up songs for Dylan Lewis when we were filming the Recovery silverchair Special at my parents house.
When I think of this time in my life, I think of my home city of Newcastle.
It was just before we kicked off the Summer Freak Shows, it was my final year of school at Newcastle High.
I was skating the day before with my mate ‘Chips’ in the Market Town carpark, Chips was in a local hardcore band called Disengage this whole scene inspired the song ‘Satin Sheets’ on Neon Ballroom.
I can’t remember whether this was before or after I was kidnapped by @ajohns74 after the Knights won the Grand Final in ‘97.
I love this photo because I’m smiling and because it was taken by my Mum. It also inspired the ‘Tickle Me Johnsy’ that was made by legendary puppeteer @jarrodboutcher and sits proudly in the exhibition.
I love Newcastle, I still live here to this day. 90% of FutureNever was recorded in my house in Newcastle, I chose the vinyl colours of Red and Blue to represent the pride I have in this city, the marble effect of the vinyl symbolises the marble @mattyryan bust of present day me on the cover of the album.
To celebrate my love for Newy, Radio Velvet has a Newy bundle with a signed Red and Blue marble vinyl, a postcard from 1997 me (with a super random message from my 17 year old self) and a randomly selected time-travelling DanieLorean pin, hit the LINK IN BIO if you want one. Limited to 299 units globally.
Note- that vinyl and pin ships immediately and the post card will be sent on a mystery December date and it’s funny.
Love you all, yeeeeeeeew to Newy 🤙
