The Dissociatives

Touring members: The Dissociatives were an Australian alternative rock band consisting of Daniel Johns of Silverchair and dance producer and DJ Paul Mac (of Itch-E and Scratch-E), which formed in mid-2003.

[1] Later Mac travelled to Merewether to help Johns install an eight-track home studio, where they recorded more tracks.

[1] I Can't Believe It's not Rock is the self-titled debut extended play of Johns and Mac's experimental project of the same name.

Both Johns and Mac were signed to Eleven: A Music Company, which issued, I Can't Believe It's not Rock online.

[4] The group appeared in ABC-TV's drama series, Love Is a Four Letter Word (2001), as a pub band in "Episode 13" and performed material from the EP.

In mid-2003, Johns and Mac formed the Dissociatives as an alternative rock duo,[1] and they issued a self-titled album on 5 April 2004.

The pair produced all the instrumental tracks and vocals themselves with Johns writing lyrics and recording them in Newcastle.

However, the band have been on hiatus since 2005 due to focussing on their main projects (Silverchair, the Presets, Johns' solo work), and they have not provided plans for future recordings or performances.
