Bert Ostyn
Absynthe Minded is a Belgian rock band, around frontman, vocalist and guitarist Bert Ostyn. Their tracks contain a mix of thirties jazz, with a touch of funky soul, Balkan beats and Merseyside pop. Absynthe Minded originally was a one-man band, being musician-singer-composer Bert Ostyn. He started off in 1999 with recording ''More Than This'' on 8-track in a 5 to 4 bedroom in Ghent, Belgium, with songs in a moderate rock genre. The opportunity to record some material in a studio brought forth ''Mushroom Holiday'' (2000). On that demo other musicians collaborated with Ostyn for the first time, which led later on to the forming of a band called Tao Tse Tse. Ostyn’s third demo, ''Krankenhaus Hotel'', was recorded in a noisy apartment bedroom again, on a Tascam four track. The first band-demo was called Sweet Oblivion (2002); the band itself was renamed Absynthe Minded Quartet.
