LETTER As you all know, Guy has our passport. When we arrived from Tangiers in 2007 we were running from the drug lords who were mad that all their girls insisted they take off articles of clothing at our shows. For anyone familiar with the Maghreb, let me tell you this is not ok. Anyway, we came to New Jersey tenements because Such and Such Entertainment Company told us we were winning battle of the bands. So even though one of us left their passports in Tangiers, we were doing ok because we all shared Guy's. But now Guy has left the country. One morning he was here, and the next I seeing him getting into a cab on the street level and he's wearing a weird toupee and a new fake mustache. I tried to call him on his way to EWR but the connection was bad, and the cab driver was listening to Mike and the Mad Dog really loud. I heard something about : "Miracle Cure". "J.S. Bach". "A Horse Named Jim". "Transfusions". "Derek Jeter"(I think that was Mad Dog). "The Faust guy's other book". and "Warsaw had no plague". This leads me to believe that Guy has gone to Warsaw, Poland. Which sucks, but what are you going to do? Luckily we finished the album before he left. Based on some text I saw written on a cereal box the morning Guy left, and some based on the conversation I had with him on the way to airport, I named all the songs and am releasing the album as Guy Warsaw. As always you can contact us at guy@guytangiers.com if you would like to book us. And please come to our live shows, unless you are police.
Love, GUY |

WARSAW The krautrock unit,Guy, had just settled into its underground existence in New Jersey tenements, after having narrowly escaped hooligans and authorities in Tangiers in early 2007. However, due to unforseen circumstances one of the members of the band, who goes by the name of Guy, since all the members in the band go by the name of Guy, (they all share one passport), discovered that their passport carrying member had left(fled?) the country for Warsaw, Poland. Though the bandmate's story is somewhat confused, from further research the actual story is even more confusing and remarkable. To understand, you have to travel back in time to the mid-14th century during the outbreak of the bubonic plague. Even though the plague and the motorik beats of a Morroccan krautrock band seem unrelated, wait . . . it gets more intriguing. Apparently of all the locations in Europe that suffered the bubonic fate delivered by diseased marmots, known as 'pharoah's rats', Warsaw, Poland was one of the only locations to be spared infection. Some historians argue that this is because the region was removed from the trade networks that transported the disease, but there's some mysterious new information that Guy may have discovered in his recent journeys. The band promises, A. that Guy is coming back, they have a new album out, "Guy Warsaw", and they are ready to promote it. and B. they promise to deliver more information about this mysterious connection between the bubonic plague,Timur the Turk, Guy, Warsaw, J.s. Bach, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In the meantime the band asks that you please enjoy and support their new music and pray to St. John for the safe return of Guy and their passport.
