The band took to the stage at the Viper Room at 00:15, shortly after their set at the KROQ gig earlier that evening.
"The stars are out tonight.
Oasis played a surprise show at the Viper Room last night, after agreeing to it just the night before when they were hobnobbing with Johnny Depp and Kate Moss.
At one point this past Sunday, during the long night the Mancunians spent with Depp and Moss, Depp remarked that it would be very cool if the band would perform at his club. Liam thought it was a spectacular idea (and was rather smitten with the Miss Moss), as did the rest of the band. Depp told his people, and someone told KROQ, who announced it at about 3:00 PM yesterday afternoon. In fact, it was announced much to the band's surprise.
To tell you truth, they forgot that they'd promised--but after a few phone calls the whole matter was straightened out, and the band showed up at the club in time to play their short but stunning set at 12:15 AM. At one point there were more than 1000 people in line to get into the tiny club--a line that included members of Offspring, Korn, as well as Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots.
Silverchair were already inside holding court with their own cadre of admires including Depeche Mode's David Gahan and Cult leader Ian Astbury (looking a little much like David Koresh). Before departing, Astbury put his hands on each member of Silverchair's head, and planted a big wet one, smack in the center of each forehead. Some bizarre ritual no doubt, which gave the trio from Aussie a little pause."
