Artist History
The Phillips brothers grew up in their Glendale,
Arizona home playing various instruments,
so their dad converted a small shed for them
to play in.
They've grown up and moved out, so Dad
decides to sell the equipment. Oldest brother Zack
decides to record a few of his songs before the
equipment is gone.
Zack drops off a tape of his songs at a local
Alternative radio station. The program director
instantly recognizes incredible potential, and
quits his job to manage him.
Zack asks his brothers Nathan & Ben, plus their
friend Randy Stowe to join him to form a band.
They do, and eventually call it zpb.
zpb makes its mark on the Phoenix music
scene, including high-profile concerts and
small club gigs. Bigger shows include sidestage
for Sting, Live, Dave Mathews Band, Alanis
Morissette, Garbage, Goo Goo Dolls, and
No Doubt, and opening for Candlebox,
Marcies Playground, Refreshments, Ben
Folds Five, and Dogstar. The band gets invited
to South By Southwest in Austin.
zpb releases their self-produced debut CD
‘Unstained’ in August 1998, where it remains
a best Arizona seller.
zpb is currently in studio recording and
producing new material for a 4-song CD, to be
followed by release of their second full
CD in Y2K.
