David Grubbs, one time member of the punk band SQUIRREL BAIT and post Big- Black/Steve Albinism era influenced group BASTRO, leads GASTR DEL SOL which he formed and asked then Harwood Heights, Illinois native Jim O'Rourke who was relatively-unknown at the time to join way back when in the early 90's days of indie. The Beach Boys/Van Dyke Parks sound was a heavy influence on the final Gastr lp "Camofleur" and I'm sure both O'Rourke and Grubbs appearances on Japanese import CD tribute make perfect sense.
