Hi Guppies.
I have been keeping this a secret, because I wasn't sure if it was going to work.
And if you DON'T get this GUPDATE, then it DID work.
Do you see how that works?
So if you are reading this, then all my efforts at tech-savviness were in vain.
And that's OK. You see, I am learning.
But that all said, the GUPPY EFFECT web site has been officially transferred to a new medium.
If you got this post, then the new medium didn't take in the RSS feed thingy where I supposedly changed it.
But in that case just go to www.guppyeffect.com to scope out the new site.
Or else click up above where it says "GO TO THE NEW SITE" or some crap.
Anyway, the GUPDATES will all be posted on the new site henceforth.
If I did everything right, you don't have to do a gosh darned thing.
But even if I did stuff wrong, you still don't have to do a gosh darned thing. You just won't get any more WEEKLY GUPDATES from Madison's most rocking band (well, in the top 3 anyway, according to Madison Area Music Awards...).
So, say GOODBYE to the old and in with the new.
(See, you knew we'd make something of ourselves some day...aren't you glad you followed us?)

Band Biography
The Guppy Effect is entertaining, high energy fun rock from Madison, WI.
VIDEO: Guppy Effect rocks CORNSTALK in Minnesota
(the bass solo is AMAZING!)
OUR PROMISE: "A thorough rocking guaranteed, or your next show is FREE!"
The Guppy Effect is fronted by singer/songwriter/bassist Cactus Joe, who does not compromise on rocking you thoroughly and completely.
To prepare for all-night, non-stop rocking, Joe has a grueling training regimen that includes not just many hours of songwriting and rehearsing, but also running, biking, and weight lifting so that he can bring maximal physical and mental energy to his stage shows. Needless to say, he does not drink or smoke.
Cactus Joe doesn't party so YOU CAN! Now that's customer service you won't find anywhere else. Perhaps that is why Guppy Effect fans just keep coming back for more.
Guppy Effect virgin or not, you will leave our shows with a satisfied afterglow, feeling 10 times better (minimum guarantee) than when you arrived.*
