Gomezz constantly astounds us with his sense of direction. In 1997, Rea Garvey left his band The Reckless Pedestrians and home town of Tralee, Ireland to go to Germany with not a lot money and a demo CD in his pocket. He put an ad into local paper Stockacher Anzeiger stating, „Singer requires band for recording and live shows.“ Mike Gommeringer (Gomezz) saw this ad and accurately assumed it must have been Garvey, whose original band he had once seen play live. The twosome met up and subsequently recruited Uwe, Sebi and Phil. Their first gig was played on New Year’s Eve 1998 in Stockach. In order to secure a recording contract, they set up a showcase at Logo, a small club in Hamburg, in front of 16 representatives from various record labels in 1999. The band was quickly offered several contracts, settling on signing with Virgin Records Germany. As of 2006 they are now releasing their music through Universal Music. On July 7, 2007 the band performed at the German leg of Live Earth in Hamburg’s HSH Nordbank Arena. On July 24, 2008 the group was chosen as the opening act for Barack Obama’s speech at The Siegessäule in Berlin, before an estimated crowd of 200,000. The band made the then United States Senator an honorary Reamonn member, presenting him with a band ring. On December 20, 2008 Reamonn played their song „Faith“ as an entrance theme for boxer Nikolai Valuev leading up to his WBA championship fight versus Evander Holyfield in Zürich. „Gomezz, let the sticks continue to fly!!!"
