BIO

The Blest

were an Australian rock band from 1982 to 1985.

Founded by brothers Dominic Guida (lead vocals/guitar) and Patrick Drive (Drums) and originated in Adelaide, Australia.

Playing to thousands of punters they put on hundreds of high-energy live performances. The recordings on this site date back to the early years and were made when the boys were just 16, 17 & 18 respectively.

Early influences of blues and rock 'n' roll allowed, Guida, Drive, and Gian to develop a style of their own.

The Blest were a favorite to all the major touring bands at the time, The Go-Betweens, Rose Tattoo, The Dukes, and Redgum who would request that they support them at live shows.

John Schumann (Redgum) once said "Darn' You guys put more energy into one song than I do in an entire show!"

On this site, you will hear a little of what took place back then...
