I'll answer for Kavus, since I hate the idea that he has to be the 'bad guy', since wearing that hat is part of my job, apparently.
Guapo aren't just going to come over to play US gigs and lose money. They would have to get a festival or well paying gig or something like that that they could tie a small tour onto.
Who is the festival or well paying gig that will make this happen?

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
I always figure with these types of bands its better for me to go to them. That's why Jack O The Clock playing ProgDay is such a a hugely pleasant surprise for me. Guapo seem a semi-regular at RIO so hopefully they'll get a spot in the next few years & give me another chance to see them.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Some do always seem to want ear splitting volume... Todd Rungren comes to mind. ALWAYS far too loud, imho (and i'm a fan). It's too bad because you don't hear the music really. I'd rather hear it than "feel" it, if you know what i mean. That said - Guapo is quite stunning musically. Thankfully, you can also hear them on their excellent recordings at controlled volumes
The live footage i've seen, though, has been quite amazing. Intensity to spare
Alex Redfern... Marvelous. I love these guys. Thanks Steve

And the code is a play, a play is a song, a song is a film, a film is a dance...
