80s Zone start their journey way back at the beginning of the 80's 

David (keyboardist) and Jeff (guitarist) both lived in the Southeast and in the early 80’s met at a Huntingdale studio where David was auditioning guitarists for his band. Jeff came to audition for the position, and this led to the beginning of a lifelong friendship and musical journey that continues to this day.

Paul (singer) and Lucas (bass) lived in Cranbourne in the 80’s and met in their early teens. Paul started a band and needed a bass player. He convinced Lucas into buying a bass and learned how to play during his time as a member of the band.

Pauly (drummer) was asked by another drummer friend, who happened to be David’s cousin, to come and see him play in a band which Paul and Lucas were in. Shortly thereafter the drummer left and Pauly was asked to join.

In the late 90’s, David was asked to lay down some keyboard parts for an original band that his cousin was drumming for. It happened to have Paul as the singer and by coincidence, unbeknown to each other, the original band David was in at the time also had Paul’s cousin as the singer.

The early 00’s, Jeff was putting together a band for a music agency. Paul was also with that agency and through a mutual friend were introduced to each other. They found common interests and Paul joined the band.

In the mid 00’s, David and Jeff had a 3 piece and were laying down tracks at a studio and needed someone to sing harmonies. Jeff had asked the singer from his other band to come down and do the vocal harmony. As it turned out it was Paul, who David had laid keys for, in the original band Paul and David’s cousin had been in from a decade or so back.

In 2008, David, Jeff and Paul had met once again and decided to form a cover band. All that was missing was a drummer and bass player. Paul had suggested getting Lucas and Pauly from a previous band. David and Jeff agreed, and Pauly and Lucas were asked to join. They agreed and this was the start, to what was to become, 80s Zone.

In April 2023 the band decided to take a hiatus after performing together for over 12 years, but by January 2024, the band got itchy fingers and with venues and punters asking for them, they decided to get back on the road. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons, Pauly (drummer) was unable to join the rest of the band.

Paul (singer) had been playing in another band and he decided to ask the drummer if he would be interested in joining 80s Zone. With enthusiasm, he agreed, and Tony Attard became the new drummer of 80s Zone.

To date this is the current line up and the band continues to pay tribute to the biggest hits of the 80's.
