            Bastian first came together in the summer of 2002 from the small 
            farming community of Shelbyville. All five members were originally 
            in a ska band called Anti-blue that toured the Midwest for 3½ years, 
            but after they grew up and lost several members, Bastian was formed. 
            
            Bastian is a high-energy guitar-driven 
            independent "rock" band, but really, what band isn't? Bastian 
            strives not only to have fun but to honor God through the songs the 
            members 
            write.  
            
            In the short time that Bastian has been 
            together, the band has shared the stage with such acts as Calibretto 
            13, Ace Troubleshooter, Relient K, John Rueben, True Vibe, By the 
            Tree, Superchic[k], For all the Drifters, The Waiting, 38th 
            Parallel, Lucerin Blue, The Red Hot Valentines, Slingshot 57, and 
            soon, Cool Hand Luke and Number One Gun. Within the past few months, 
            the group's CD has received regional radio play on stations across the 
            Midwest. With its growth and development, Bastian has gained a 
            booking manager, promotional street team, a sound crew, its own 
            professional PA, and a strong and growing fan base.

            Band members Aaron Eversole and Lawrence Camfield 
            both reside in the community of Lincoln and are employed by the respected 
            John Barr. In addition to that, Jeremy West and Lawrence both attend 
            Lincoln Christian College. The other two members, Brad Eversole and 
            Kylie Daniel, frequent the town for gigs with the band and just to 
            visit the community where their band has become based.
