The Guestz are just four blokes who play rock'n'roll as it has to be played: raw, rude, loud but yet catchy. They'll kick your ass and make you dance.
This bad-mannered combo from Rome, Italy features the handsome Mimmo God on lead vocals, Rome's living legend Jonna on guitar, japan-addicted Rob'n'Roll on left-handed bass and Matt on indisputably loud drums.
They formed in late summer of 2006: Jonna and Mimmo were putting up some ideas for a new band, while Matt and Rob'n'Roll (already partners in crime in a The Darkenss tribute called The Brightness) were basically looking for the same thing.
So, the band was ready, they needed a name. But, before finding it, they found a chance to play their first gig supporting german rock band Soul Doctor on their date in Rome. The flyer said "Soul Doctor + Markonee + guests", so Jonna had the idea: "Let's call us The Guests, so to have our name on the flyer!", said with his flamboyant 100% roman accent. The others agreed... simply because they had no other suggestions!
First rehearsals showed they do rock, and the motto "not for money, just for glory" (a line from their song "Ten years in jail", written by Jonna for another project) seemed to be tremendously fitting.
After a couple of days, they found TWO bands on Myspace called "The Guests", so they decided to slightly change the name into The Guestz, which sounds a lot more sleazy and will make hair metal fans very happy!
The band is currently promoting the debut cd "Not for money, just for glory".
