Navarone Anthony Garibaldi Garcia (born March 1, 1987)[1] is an American musician who serves as the lead singer of Them Guns.[2] He is the son of Priscilla Presley and is the half-brother of Lisa Marie Presley.

Early life

[edit]

Garcia was born to actress Priscilla Presley and computer programmer Marco Garibaldi Garcia in Santa Monica, California.[3] As his mother was the former wife of Elvis Presley, media scrutiny was often focused on the family. Garcia's half-sister was Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis's only child.[4]

Them Guns

[edit]

Them Guns is a Los Angeles-based rock band made up of members Garcia (guitar/lead vocals), Kyle Hamood (lead guitar/vocals/keys), Bobby Vega (drums), and Chuck Holiday (bass). Santa Cruz Waves described their sound as "...a rock base, a tinge of surf/ska vocals, and funked out keys, a sound to satisfy the traditional, to alternative, to psychedelic rock music enthusiasts...birthed from the barrels of Them Guns".[5]

Garcia cites his musical influences as "Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Kings of Leon to the likes of the Chemical Brothers".[6]

In the United States, Them Guns have had sold-out shows at The Viper Room, The Troubadour in West Hollywood and many other rock venues.[7] Their UK debut was on April 4, 2013, at The Kings Head Club in Hoxton, east London.[8] It was the first time that The Kings Head Club had hosted a live band and the show was a private one.[9]

Personal life

[edit]

Garcia is a reptile lover and collects reticulated pythons and Asian water monitors.[10]

On February 15, 2022, Garcia married Elisa Achilli at Schloss Hünigen Hotel in the Emmental Valley, Switzerland; they have since separated. [11]
