Silverchair - The beginning (1994), "Nomad pick me, demo competition"

On June 16, 1994; Innocent Criminals were the winners, with their demo song called "Tomorrow". This competition was carried by a TV station (SBS) and radio (Triple J) with its contest called "Nomad Pick Me, demo competition", as a part of the show with the same name, "Nomad".
The prize of the contest as they were the winners, consisted in a demo record in studio, this time with professional sound and the filming of a videoclip. Of course, they re-recorded the now iconic "Tomorrow" (previously home recorded as demo in 1993) and that was the beginning of the Chair musical path as professionals musicians, at a very young age, around just 15 years old.
Since then, they changed their former name Innocent Criminals to Silverchair. 🦙

I was 14 in 1994, and i don't remember it being such dodgy quality TV recording back then.

[@orchestral-tear-cash-flow]

I improved the quality before uploading using more than one footage, all footage I found, so, you can't even imagine how much worse this looked before!!! 😅 Besides that, our TVs and computers had less pixels back then so anything used to look better on those equipment. Now that we have better equipment, anything old looks worse in this new, unless you have the original recording tapes (that I sadly don't, only SBS could) and make the appropriate image treatment that is needed for modern equipment. Hope is slightly enjoyable anyway! 👀

@orchestral-tear-cash-flow great upload. It's really interesting to see this as I've never seen it before. Thanks for your hard work putting it together. God bless the 90s.

it depends on if something was recorded analog or digital. Since digital recordings were of such low resolution, they looked great on those small bulky low res monitors. Unfortunately upscaling a low res digital video has terrible results, the longer time goes on.

Talented kids such a good band forever love silverchair

[@jaydesmith5335]

Who was the fourth member at the start

[@orchestral-tear-cash-flow]

Is Tobin Finnane, I think he's a music professor now, if I'm not wrong.

[@rohan750]

I couldn’t see him he left in 93 I believe

[@Michiganvideoswithmyfriends.]

I don’t see a 4th member in this video
