I caught Guapo at Raw Power and was fairly impressed. I thought I'd seen them before (also with Circle, in Leeds in the early 00s) but they didn't seem at all like the band I remembered so may well be mixing them up with someone else. The best bits for me were the more skronky bits - the guy who played lots of wind instruments including bagpipes was great. Is that Sullivan? I have the first Grumbling Fur album but I bought that more due to Jussi Lehtisalo's involvement, which only seemed to last for that one record. It doesn't sound much like the duo stuff that I've heard since; it is very loose and improvy.
