Christopher John Joannou (born 10 November 1979)[1] is a Macedonian-Australian musician best known as the bassist for the Newcastle-based alternative rock band Silverchair. He is a twin to sister Louise Kipa.[2] He was the first of the three band members to cut his long hair short. Joannou was nicknamed 'Lumberjack' by Silverchair fans for his love of trees and plaid shirts.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
As well as being a well-known bassist, Joannou was the assistant producer for The Mess Hall albums Feeling Sideways and the ARIA award–winning Notes From A Ceiling.
He has used mainly G&L and Fender Precision Basses, and he almost exclusively uses Ampeg B-15 Portaflex combos. As reported to gearwire.com, Joannou uses an Ampeg SVT-2 into an Ampeg 810 cabinet and a new Ampeg B-15 combo in his live setup.
In 2006, Joannou spoke at the launch of a mental health scholarship set up to honour his cousin Nathan Trepezanov, who died by suicide at the age of 21 in January of that year.[3] Joannou is of Macedonian heritage.[4]

Joannou is a co-founder and co-owner of the Lovells Lager beer company.[5] He is also one of four businessmen who opened a bar and small entertainment venue on Parry Street in the West End of Newcastle, NSW, Australia, which opened in December 2013.[6]
