Biography
Armed with high quality dark rock music, alluring visuality and electrifying performances, Uninvited Guest stormed the UK alternative scene in 2005 with their critically acclaimed self-produced debut album ‘Faith In Oblivion’. Three years in the making, the resulting opus quickly became known for its eclectic blend of a gothic, glam, industrial rock sound - diverse throughout, but with a recurrent dramatic edge, signified by strong rhythmic guitars, slick electronics and orchestration, and an extraordinary voice that instantly sites the band’s uniqueness.
Then a four piece comprising of Dean Hathaway (vocals), Lucas Swann (keyboards and programming), Shaun Cope (guitar) and Robert Baker (bass), Uninvited Guest backed their debut release with live shows across the country. Among these appearances the band took to the stage at some of the UK’s most high profile gothic festivals such as Beyond The Veil (Leeds) in 2005 and 2006, Gotham (London) in 2006, and the prestigious Whitby Gothic Weekend in October 2006, the latter attracting exposure on UK national TV channel, BBC2.
While in early 2007 their original bassist left, the three remaining members continued their commitments unabated, settling back into the studio to begin work on their next full-length CD. The follow-up album, titled ‘Malice In Wonderland’, is now upon us, more mature and theatrical in sound, altogether darker in character. With the addition of new bassist Jane Dalton (aka Miss 616, formerly the creative mind behind ‘Squid’ and ‘616 Abortions’), the band has the album and the line-up almost certainly destined to enrapture the alternative scene in coming months. Having secured a praised and well-established name in the UK, Uninvited Guest sign with German Record Label 'Maddening Media' to see them expand overseas, with fast increasing support and an ever-growing fan-base.
A band that knows how to entertain the eyes as well as the ears… whack-up the volume and ENJOY!
