  Paul Mac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Mac (born Paul McDermott) is a musician, producer and remixer from Sydney, Australia (not to be confused with the UK Techno DJ and producer Paul Mac alias Paul Souter).
McDermott 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.
Paul Mac should not be confused with Paul McDermott, Australian comedian and former 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.
