1. The Wellingtons (power-pop)
Australia’s The Wellingtons continue to inject all that is cute, smart, and sweet into their crafted up-beat power pop tunes. It’s the sound that’s brought them devoted fans in the U.S, Canada and Spain and major success in Japan where their first two albums have not only sold strongly but led the band to tour live houses, packed with smiling fans in many of their major cities.
Their third album ‘Heading North For The Winter’ is a big leap forward for the band. The album contains a considered, sophisticated group of songs recorded in Australia’s finest studios utilising a first class production team.
The glistening, saccharine melodies bound out of your stereo and instantly put a smile on your face. Beneath those vocal hooks, the raw guitars, driving rhythm section and infectious sythns create pure pop-rock bliss much like Weezer and The Cars did before them. Heading North For The Winter is simply an exciting, punchy, jump around your room sing-along record.
The Wellingtons also invited Kim Shattuck, front woman of legendary Los Angeles pop band The Muffs to sing backing vocals on the record after they played together in the U.S. in 2006.
The band have also maintained a hectic touring schedule back home in Australia and embarked on a European, Japanese and North American world tour to coincide with the album release in autumn 2008.
The Wellingtons are:
Zac Anthony (vocals, guitar)
Kate Goldby (vocals, bass)
Koji Asano (guitar, vocals)
Amy Walters (keyboards, vocals)
Gustav Lindstrom (drums)

2. The Wellingtons (folk group)
The Wellingtons were a folk singing group who performed the title songs for multiple television programs, including "Gilligan's Island" and "Davy Crockett." They were also regulars on the television series "Shindig!"
The Wellingtons was formed by George Patterson. The group was originally called The Lincolns, and recorded for Kapp Records. As The Wellingtons, they were signed by Walt Disney to record the theme song for Disney's "The Wonderful World of Color". For Disney Records, they recorded numerous theme songs, including "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" for the mini-series "Davy Crockett." The Wellingtons can be heard singing "The Ballad of Davy Crockett" in the soundtrack for the movie Fantastic Mr. Fox.
"Gilligan's Island" producer Sherwood Schwartz had actually had his pilot episodes for the show rejected twice and decided he needed a new theme song. Working with composer George Wyle he came up with a folk song that told the back story of the castaways, and hired The Wellingtons to sing it. The song was a hit. The Wellingtons appear in a second season (1965–66) episode as a rock group called "The Mosquitoes." Not only is the name a play on The Beatles, but the members of the fictitious group are named Bingo, Bango, Bongo and Irving in a reverse play on the names John, Paul, George and Ringo.
The Wellingtons appeared as regulars on the variety television show "Shindig!" on their own and as backup singers to visiting acts.
They also provided backup singing on recordings by other artists including Jan and Dean.
The group traveled with star Donald O'Connor for 61⁄2 years and also toured with The Supremes and Stevie Wonder. The final members of the group were founder George Patterson, Kirby Johnson and Ed Wade.
