	Bastro Biography - AOL Music
		Bastro was the more prominent of guitarist David Grubbs' two immediate post-Squirrel Bait projects (the concurrently running Bitch Magnet being the other).
		McEntire wound up joining Bastro full-time for their LP debut, 1989's Bastro Diablo Guapo, which drew comparisons to the blistering extremity of Steve Albini and the precision and shifting dynamics of another Squirrel Bait offshoot, Slint.
		Feeling limited by the extremity of their power-trio format and afraid of stagnating, Bastro tried to push into more atmospheric territory, and wound up deciding to retire the name altogether and continue as a completely different project, dubbed Gastr del Sol.

	Bastro: Album Reviews, Biography - MOG (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Most interesting is one track that is a yet-to-be-fleshed-out version of “Eye Street” on Gastr del Sol’s first album, which was more or less a Bastro song as John and Bundy are accompanying David Grubbs on the song.
		Grubbs concedes that these later Bastro songs became Gastr del Sol songs.
		The Bastro song “Beatlenacht” eventually became “Eye Street” (as I pointed out in my earlier blog) and not “For Soren Muller,” as Grubbs states.

		"After the first Bastro record came out, we did a short tour as duo (Clark era) with drum machine in which we shared a number of dates with My Dad Is Dead, for whom John was thumping the tubs.
		and that's not intended as a compliment.) Bastro Diablo Guapo is the only record of the bunch that had the benefit of a good long tour to prepare us for recording.
		John only returned to the fold as we were ready to enter the studio, so it had seemed that Bastro had ceased to exist.

	TrouserPress.com :: Bastro
		David Grubbs, Jim O'Rourke's future Gastr del Sol partner, formed Bastro after the end of Squirrel Bait; the Kentucky-born guitarist/singer recorded the band's six-song debut with only a former bandmate, bassist Clark Johnson, and a rhythm machine.
		Rather than careen around like a rhinoceros plugged into an electric socket, Bastro stays tight, well-structured and musical, even when engaging in meltdown firepower.
		The guitar has the rich textures of a Hammond organ (an instrument which, along with piano, makes an occasional appearance here); the rhythm section demonstrates the facility to dig trenches or drop back to small-scale time-keeping.

	* Dusted Reviews - Bastro *
		It's not much of a surprise that the Bastro records are the last vestige of David Grubbs's back catalog to get a proper reissue.
		Beginning in 1987, Bastro was nothing more than a dorm room experiment for Grubbs's time spent at American University, and not a very exciting one at that; his first release, a solo outing called Rode Hard and Put Up Wet, sounded like leavings from Big Black's Headache sessions.
		And just as it all started to jell, Bastro was gone — Grubbs took the band on tour in 1991 with Bundy Brown in place of Johnson.

	DOA - Bastro - Antlers: Live 1991
		But the same critical attention, at least in recent years, has seemed to evade Bastro, the bombastic post-punk trio he formed in the late-1980s with John McEntire and Squirrel Bait’s Clark Johnson (and then developed with McEntire and future Tortoise alum Bundy K. Brown).
		Well, for one, Grubbs is a guitarist and frontman who’s never prone to fall on convention and this lends even the so-called “straight-forward” big-rock refrains a subversive and often-virtuosic quality.
		after Bastro, it was a revelation to hear an unamplified instrument.” Antlers proves that, before the unamplified instruments began dominating Grubbs’ and others’ work, there were more than enough bursts of revelation to go around.

	* Dusted Reviews - Bastro *
		His was an angry-sounding, art-thrash trio that sits historically out of place between the bright, open chorded "Hüsker Pübe" college rock of his teenage combo, Squirrel Bait, and the deft, hyper-mature avant-folk styles he laid down in Gastr del Sol, and there's little to compare to either in Bastro's recorded output.
		In the next two years, Grubbs returned home to Louisville, Kentucky and grew Bastro into a full-time concern, adding a rhythm section of fellow Squirrel Baiter Clark Johnson and Oberlin percussion protégé John McEntire.
		And if his previous record aped Big Black, 1989's full-length Diablo Guapo fell in line with Steve Albini's macho endeavors with Rapeman, inasmuch as he was sowing his oats, and hired a wildcat bassist and deft drummer to bolster his torrents of guitar slashery.

	[No title]
		Thus I found that some people of Tortoise where before in a band named Bastro, together with David Grubbs, who was already a highlight for me with his Gastr Del Sol band (and to be honest, I get to learn that because I was already fairly acquinted with the work of Jim O'Rourke.
		Bastro were a trio of Grubbs, Bundy K. Brown and John McEntire (the latter two later on in Tortoise).
		From the earlier punk days, Bastro grew into a heavy three piece group, playing complex songs, with songs changing all the time, improvisation coming in but mainting a strong power in the music itself.

		And for those of you new to the whole Bastro experience, these songs will definitely whet your appetite for more.
		Bastro are really hard to descibe, which could be why maybe they ended up going over a lot of people's heads.
		As much as I love the bands that came after, Bastro still hold a special place in our heart, their music somehow transcending the music of almost all of their contemporaries, melodic, heavy, bizarre, beautiful.

		Fidel Bastro was founded in 1992 with the intention to release the new CD/LP of the legendary american Noise-Band Bastro in Germany.
		But Bastro broke up and the members formed a new project called Gastr' del Sol.

		Unlike the other one, Bastro, Grubbs wasn't a charter member of Bitch Magnet, nor was he the leader; that duty fell to bassist/vocalist Sooyoung Park.
		Much like Bastro, however, Bitch Magnet played a blistering and intellectual brand of post-hardcore punk, which often drew comparisons to Steve Albini's Big Black; they were also grouped with a more direct Squirrel Bait descendant, Slint, albeit more relentless and somewhat less nuanced.
		Galt's place was taken by David Grubbs later in 1989, and Grubbs toured with the group in between commitments with Bastro.

	* Dusted Reviews - Bastro *
		Among these “irregular shards,” Bastro was in a sense the most irregular.
		Drummer John McEntire, bassist Clark Johnson (later replaced by Bundy Brown), and singer/guitarist and principal songwriter Grubbs deconstructed Squirrel Bait’s fury and melodicism, virtually pitting them against one another.
		(Interestingly enough, the misstep of employing a drum machine was one that Midwest contemporaries the Jesus Lizard and Flour also struggled against on their respective debuts.) With the addition of McEntire, Bastro’s 1989 album Diablo Guapo blew by in a 26-minute hardcore firestorm that was invigorating, if difficult to process.

		David Grubbs, chitarrista dei Bitch Magnet, inauguro` i Bastro subito dopo lo scioglimento degli Squirrel Bait: con una drum-machine e il bassista di quella formazione, Clark Johnson, nel 1988 Grubbs registro` l'EP Rode Hard And Put Up Wet (Homestead).
		Appresa la lezione di Minutemen e Big Black, i Bastro la sposano ad atmosfere piu` catastrofiche che incendiarie, dove il tumulto e non la velocita` e` il prerequisito essenziale.
