Clann Z formed at the end of 1999 in
Melbourne Australia. Ben and Declan were
already busy with rock group Non
Intentional Lifeform when they decided
to start up a new project that would
have a dramatic soundtrack quality to

It quickly became apparent that violin
was necessary to complete the
ambitious sound. Enter Russell. At the
very first jam everything clicked and
Clann Z was born. Sound engineer Lach
Wooden joined the group soon after and
the sound quickly developed into a lush
blend of dark and moving contemporary
western sounds tinged with Middle Eastern
and Irish melodies. The vocal melodies
are sung in both Irish and English.

The first EP was recorded in February
2000 in an old abandoned bakery and
finished in Clann Zu's own makeshift
studio on Lygon St, Melbourne Australia.
Their debut album "Rua" was recorded in
Melbourne in 2001. The group then moved
to Europe in December 2001 to widen their
live playing horizons and collaboration
possibilities. The band located in
Ireland, Galway and Dublin where they
honed their live show, wrote and demoed
material for the second album.

While in Europe they signed to Canadian
label G7 Welcoming Committee Records
which sees the remastered and repackaged
Rua album released in Canada and the USA

The band reconvene in Australia in
October 2003 to finish writing the
second album with new bass player Liam
Andrews. An Australian tour will follow
before the lads head into the studio in
Melbourne in December to record the
next album to be released under the G7
