Bastro was an American Math Rock / Post Hardcore band in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's main line-up consisted of David Grubbs (guitar), Clark Johnson (bass), and John McEntire (drums). History Bastro were one of two bands formed by Squirrel Bait guitarist David Grubbs after the former band folded in 1987, together with Squirrel Bait's bassist Clark Johnson and a drum machine. Later, noted drummer John McEntire (Tortoise, The Sea And Cake) replaced the drum machine. Johnson was later replaced by Bundy K. Brown. Bastro released one EP and two albums before Grubbs, McEntire and Brown retired the Bastro name in 1993 and continued as Gastr del Sol.
