The 2004 Boxing Day tsunami resulted in the WaveAid fundraising concert held in January 2005; Silverchair performed to help raise funds for aid organisations working in disaster-affected areas. As a result of WaveAid, the band decided to resume working together. Gillies explained the band’s reunion as due to a special “chemistry” between band members, telling the Sydney Morning Herald , “It only took us 15 years, but recently we’ve realised, ‘We’ve really got something special and we should just go for it.’”
