Bio
Born from the ashes of the 70's NYC/Cleveland punk scene, Bill DeGidio (A.K.A. Robert Conn) wanted to form a band that would reflect his days being in the legendary 70’s Cleveland punk band The Pagans, but didn’t want a carbon copy but rather newer version of a historic sound. Through many variations of great bands such as The Defnics, The Plague, and AK-47’s in Cleveland, Bill finally found himself in Houston, TX. “Why Houston?” One may ask - Well, Houston was good enough for Cheetah Chrome, Nikki Sikki, as well as bands like ZZ Top, Humungous, DRI, and many others who have followed, so yeah… why Houston?

So, anyway… after many other bands in Houston, Robert Conn along with his wife Julie (A.K.A. Jewels) formed a punk band called Chelsea Hotel, who have seen members the likes of Maxx from Junkyard and even Lonnie of The Bullet Boys… Yeah, that Bullet Boys (place “Smooth up In ya!“)


The Guillotines have evolved since then to become a high energy 3 guitar attack of rock n roll the like of MC5, The Stooges, and Kiss - and to this day carries on the sounds they helped create as well as too create a whole new sound in itself!

The band now enlists Stevie Rider on drums!! Curtis W. De Gidio (Velostacks, Chrome Kickers) on 2nd lead/vocals and Glenn Gilbert (Vanity Crimes/Supergrave) on lead guitar.
The Guillotines have also enlisted the help of their friend Don Cilurso (Texas Terri & The Stiff Ones, Deviletones, King of Kings) to produce their new full length album and as a result, the new album promises to be a contradiction of itself, mixing raw songs reminiscent of their roots with refined clean, but loud and snotty rock n roll!! Who are The Guillotines? You are about to find out…
