About Me

A Brief History of THE ZACK ATTACK from VH1 Behind the Music :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::

The Zack Attack was formed in 2005 for the sole purpose of rocking the Relay for Life in Campbell. The original lineup consisted of highschool friends that had never heard of music before nor even attempted to play it. One day whilst enjoying their favorite programs, they had seen Animal from the Muppets hitting what they then referred to as "the roundie poundies" (years later they discovered it was called "drums") and were sold on the idea of being a rock band. From that point on they spent countless hours studying how to be a band from watching old Journey videos (see "Seperate Ways (World's Apart))and built their first instruments out of aluminum garbage cans and tops, washtubs and broomsticks and that thing you make out of a greaser comb with paper slipped into the teeth of said comb. What's that called? As one can imagine with their imagination, it was pretty damn rockin' the first time they rehearsed. The next day they played the Campbell relay. They stunned patrons and the occasional passer-by with mind-bending numbers from such fantastical acts as Le Beatles Quatro, Fighters de Foo, Fears that cause Tears, and many others. Everyone rejoiced with ear-pleasure. But alas, not soon after they brought the house down did they become jaded by the music industry. Labels flocked, throwing offers left and right at them for upwards of a thousand-million dollars (at least!) and after much deliberation they signed with SBTB Records, based out of Bayside, CA. They were now worldwide. But fame and fortune doesn't buy you happiness they soon learned. So they tried buying more fancy things like leather pants and earrings. That worked for a while until they discovered they had been fooled. These were PLEATHER pants! Even with what they considered the fanciest of pants, the problems still persisted. After inter-band squabbling the Zack Attack took a brief year-hiatus to reflect. They got past previous grievances, regrouped with new members and returned for the 2006 Relay for Life. Again, all who witnessed their blazin' set of hawt new material experienced the Zack Attack love-explosion in their face. This included the theme from the Drew Carey show! Hecka cool. But as luck would have it, turmoil struck again and the Zack Attack went underground only to return once more to the place they were birthed. The Campbell Relay for Life. Except this time it was 2007 instead of 2005. With hired gun Isaac Boulevard (name adapted for legal reasons) they delivered an onslaught of music so powerful me thinks I heard the God Zeus chuckling from up on high. They made babies cry and panties fly as expected with their short shorts and other stylish apparel and all was well again on planet earth. They are currently wearing shorter shorts and directing traffic for children after school and watching Rock of Love in their spare time taking notes. **FOR HAWT BOOKINGS EMAIL: [email protected]**
