Mellotrongirl - thanks for the press! Guapo is actually my brother's band
(Matt Thompson), and the Mellotron Dan plays is mine. After nearly ten
years, the band have finally 'broken through' to the stage where a
respectable label will release their stuff - several respectable labels,
actually - their next is due on ex-Faith No More Mike Patton's Ipecac
imprint. There's also one 'Tron track on their previous effort, 'Great Sage,
Equal of Heaven', although I'm not sure if it's currently available.
