From It’s Psychedelic Baby Magazine:

Guapo is a project existing for several years now. Originally consisting of Matt Thompson (who left in 2005) and David J. Smith. They started with a noise rock band with a very complex structures and they released several albums including Towers Open Fire (1997), Hirohito a year later – which showed first elements of avant-prog, then in 2000 they released Death Seed, which was probably influenced by zeuhl sounds of the past. Great Sage, Equal of Heaven (2001) was even more into zeuhl, with typical zeuhl rhythms, but still with some “noise” elements that were used in their previous albums. We have not even mentioned a couple of EP’s, like Hell Is Other People, Erase Yer Head and Guapo vs. Magma. David J. Smith discuss the current situation in Guapo and recalls some memories from recording and touring across the world.
