z_Bug is an electro-rhythmic Industrial Jazz project sparked while David and
Zachary were studying music at CalArts with Wadada Leo Smith in late 2004.
They have been collaborating on music of an electronic, improvisational, jazz
style ever since, playing several live performances throughout the last five
years.

z_Bug's first performance was on 2006.02.15 in Los Angeles, CA and they
moved to the San Francisco Bay Area later that year. They have been
performing ever since with two albums released and two more on the way this
year!
