I guess it was 1988 when I experienced Bastro (a band I hadn't heard of before) in Munich in a concert package with My Dad Is Dead and Happy Flowers presented by their label Homestead. On stage appeared three young muscular guys with crew cuts and lumbershirts and looked like woodcutters straight from the boondocks. Their sound, however, was incredibly heavy, noisy and powerful. Only later did I learn about their links to Squirrel Bait, Slint and Gastr Del Sol and that their sound had been quite influential.
