Artist History Formed in San Francisco, California in 1999, Rut Host has been touring Europe since April 2000, and has not yet gone back to the USA. The circuit has been Holland, Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia.Rut Host has three players: Alex on guitar and vocals, J.R. on bass and vocals, and a new drummer, Chaba, from Budapest. The style is their own brand of high octane rock featuring a sound connected to Motorhead, the Ramones, and NOFX. Their first CD was recorded in San Francisco before they came to Europe. Their second CD has just recently been recorded in Budapest for Nephilim Records for release in March.Unlike other bands who have the luxury of idle time to write music, Rut Host's continuous touring roll through Europe lands them in bizarre situations to pull over and spend time writing. The most recent songs were written in a barracks in Bosnia, a punk rock squat in Amsterdam, and in a bomb shelter in Budapest.The text is about their adventures on the road, such as dealing with border guards, friction with local yahoos, and relentless rolling from city to city as they are robbed, wrecked and debauched. The band's touring has had a major slant towards Eastern Europe, including major festivals in Hungary (Pepsi Island twice) and Serbia (the 34th Guitarrada festival in Zajecar). In Serbia the band had numerous radio and television interviews, and the festival was on national television, which which helped them later get across the border to Bosnia: while they were getting the typicalharsh treatment by one border guard, another guard came up and said, "I saw them on television, they are cool, let them go through!"
