Gastr del Sol

Chicago, Illinois

In 1991, David Grubbs formed Gastr del out of the final lineup of Bastro with Bundy K. Brown and John McEntire. After their first album, Brown and McEntire departed, and Jim O’Rourke arrived, initiating a sequence of unpredictable leaps across genre and practical approach alike that altered the passage of musical time as we knew it in the mid-90s. After six releases, Gastr disbanded in 1998.
