An Afternoon at The Zoo with Cast

Vancouver's music scene is constantly evolving. One relatively new band that we're excited about is Cast. The two piece band made up of Ben Brown and Jessica Leger revolves almost exclusively around percussion and voice. Although both members have played (and in some cases still play) in many different projects in the city it is the first time they have collaborated. Cast takes two of the oldest instruments (voice and drum) and connects them in ways never quite heard before. The concept almost sounds too easy but anyone who's ever tried can tell you it takes some serious chops to pull off.

We caught up with Cast at Vancouver's Kozmik Zoo for an Afternoon at The Zoo. The band performed three songs for our camera's as well as having a conversation with us. We have documented it all for you and will release part 1 today. The name of the track is "Whitehorse"(a cover of an instrumental track by The Airplane Trio to which Leger added lyrics).The following two tracks and more footage of their conversation will follow later this week. Go!
