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 didn’t 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 “Tomorrow.” 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 “Tomorrow.” 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 “Frogstomp.” 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 ” Frogstomp”, at number 9 last week, just went platinum,
and their video “Tomorrow” is in heavy rotation on MTV. Their CD
“Frogstomp” is flying out in stores across the country. But the
best thing is that the three of them combined are younger than
Mick Jagger.
