JAMES LOMENZO AND MARK "ABBA" ABBATTISTA
53 and 45
Heavy Metal Musician and Music Manager/Attorney
Beverly Hills, CA
I'm sure they will go by James and Abba on the show. James might be known to some people as being a part of the group Megadeth.

And still searching for the IDs of the remaining teams!

THANKS MAC!! :hearts:
Adding some more info on James and Abba!!
I know less than nothing about this kind of music...but James Lomenzo is a serious musician who has played with some very major bands.
This is a great in depth interview about his career to date!

Here is an Interview from Romania...at about 6:25 he starts to talk about Mark and their passion for travel.

There was a very nice homepage open yesterday when I started to look but seems to be down now...hopefully it will open back up! Will leave the link up in case it reopens, a very good bio:
http://www.jameslomenzo.com/jameslomenzo.com/Bio.html
He also has a production house called Monster House:

There are many YouTube vids of the actual music as well.
Mark "Abba" Abbattista is as MAC said, an attorney and a music manager/producer.
He is listed as President at Abba-Cadaver Music LLC
Location
Beverly Hills, California (Greater Los Angeles Area)
...although I believe he is originally from Colorado.
He is currently managing the band HAIL!, which is a cover band of rotating musicians who do worldwide tours featuring the classics of Heavy Metal music. James is the bass guitarist on many of the tours.
Here is a brief Interview with Mark from the Russian tour about why they love to tour and share their music: START at about 1:50

And here is a lovely interview about a high school visit in Istanbul:

And...importantly for us, these guys are seriously well traveled. Their most recent tours includes a nine-city tour in Russia, coincidentally including Moscow, and a Turkey tour, including Istanbul, and other areas such as Brazil, Scandanavia, and Lebanon!
I am already loving their passion for their music and for travel!

That's a lot of information for James & Abba! Incredible work, guys!
Now, that would make it 3 James (or Jaymes), so it would make it compulsory to use nicknames and set them apart. Perhaps Jay for one of the Chippendales? And... JLo (Wikipedia says that is his nickname) xD for LoMenzo? That would make them JLo and Abba? Wouldn't that be hilarious?

I think we're good without any nicknames. But thats just me. Jaymes/James are one team and adding another one in on a different team with long hair doesn't make it to hard to tell which one.

Awesome! GJ, macaroons! I thought the bearded guys would be more like hippies but they're probably gonna turn out to be badasses. ;D
Hopefully, them and the biker couple don't go out one after the other.
Re: nicknames, I think it's only gonna work if people are willing to use them, or if someone establishes a nickname for the 3 Ja(y)mes and others follow. For me, I think I'll call them James, Ga(y)mes (I believe I got those two right), and Jamie from the Block. :lol:
