I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Brief Bio:
"At age of 21, Bastian Kirchdoerfer was already touring throughout
Europe with “Barock”, the worlds best AC/DC tribute band.
Studying with private instructors in Germany was not satisfying his need
for diversity, so Bastian looked to the US for advanced training.
In 2003, he entered the drum programs at LA Music Academy in Pasadena
and continued performing with jazz, blues, funk, rock and big bands
during his schooling....
...While involved in his original project, Bastian makes time to perform with different bands ( f. e. Gualberto, to hear on Indie 103.1)
plus he continues to be a first call musician for studio & live performance
projects."
That's a short version of my Bio that somebody wrote for me a while ago.
