Greetings folks, periodic west coast lurker here...
On the topic, you should check out this all improv fusion quartet from Vancouver called iDeoGram featuring 15 year old phenom Kai Basanta on drums. This kid is amazing, a consumate professional, and gifted beyond belief, a mini Buddy Rich...and he's in GRADE 9!
Kai's played a couple of show's with my band (baked potato) and it's been hilarious dealing with bar staff trying to get this kid into the clubs.
check him out....
Apparently he's allowed to be in the bar...but has to be either walking to or from the stage, if he's not performing. Kai is going to be famous one day.
Taboot the bass player, Cole, is 18 years old, plays a 5 string fretless and is SICK. Kai's brother Adam is 22 and is a sick fusion shredder as well.
Listen to these guys at their myspace page.
They don't have "songs" per se...they don't practice. They just improv their shows. All unrehearsed. SICK.
