Neon Ballroom really was a good album. Do you like their new stuff? I loved Diorama and Young Modern. Think I still have a couple of videos from a show in '07. If you're interested let me know and I'll try to dig 'em up. Great thread!

Hi Juliana
I love Neon Ballroom.
I wrote a blog entry about Miss You Love a couple of weeks back - it is the most beautiful song. Check it out if you are interested.
I'm certainly interested in seeing some footage from a Silverchair song!
