About Me

Hello everybody, Firstly i like myspace, i like it a lot, so let that be known. Also it should be said that i'm usually logged in under the wellingtons (thats my band) so if you want me to see something in a hurry write me there. The Wellingtons is essentially what i put my whole life into, we've put out two full length albums (Almost finished a third) and we've toured the U.S and Japan plus most of Australia in the past three years or so. In the band i get to play with some of my dearest friends and the girl i can't forget (kate) so Im pretty lucky.O.k i think that's all the important announcements i needed to make, the only other thing you need to know about me is that i'm always on the search for well written pop perfection, see influences for what i think falls under that category and lastly on a positive note i generally dislike about 98% of music released in the current musical landscape and i think the Australian music industry is in the worst shape it's ever has been. Below are some older self indulgent rants i wrote when i first started this page.I often define my world by statistics, I find it the best way to sum up the sad world around me.
A few examples of Zac like quotes, "90% percent of the world are dickheads" or "I like about 60% percent of Wilco's back catalogue" or lastly "I liked about 2% of that random, new wave, next big thing band that I had to sit through at Ding Dong last night".
Zac doesn't stay out late as often as most of his friends and doesn't frequent Pony as often as say Steve, Dave or Chris. Zac plays in a band called The Wellingtons , see in friends list, and a band called the Hovercrafts when he's not being a "Solo artist" on myspace and finally Zac spends a lot (arguably too much) of his time on myspace.
This page will be used to preview home recorded material (some very out dated) that probably won't make it to his power pop band the Wellingtons, for whom he does the singing songwriting role. So it's safe to say the songs above are exclusive to this page and will not be seen else where . Please feel free to let me know what ya think of them, and enjoy the feedback.
Thank you this is for YOU my favorite 2% of the world!! stay tuned.
