Paul Mac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Mac (born Paul McDermott) is a musician, producer and re-mixer from Sydney, Australia. Mac formed the bands Smash Mac Mac, Itch-e And Scratch-e, Boo Boo And Mace, The Lab and The Dissociatives as well as releasing records under his own name. He has also played with Severed Heads and Silverchair.

Paul Mac has produced remixes for Silverchair, Powderfinger, The Mark of Cain, Grinspoon, The Cruel Sea, INXS and Placebo. He has also done soundtrack work for Baz Luhrmann and on the films Head On and Sample People. He also worked as musical director on the Australian TV show Good News Week.

Paul Mac should not be confused with Paul McDermott, Australian comedian and host of Good News Week — although Mac co-wrote and produced the single "Shut Up And kiss Me" for the other McDermott and Fiona Horne. He should also not be confused with the UK Techno DJ and producer Paul Mac alias Paul Souter.

Paul Mac is currently part of Silverchair's touring band.
