Wednesday Nooner: The Ideateam

Date: February 26, 2014

Show Information

Ideateam is Sacramento’s funkiest up and coming team of music indulgers-the nine piece, largely instrumental band pulls heavily from influences both modern and tried while still maintain a very unique and palatable character to call their own. The core rhythm section, whom have been playing music together for two years, are paired with an outfit of horns, percussion, and vocals. Known for their energetic shows and curious disposition to always be trying something new, its easy to get lost in their compelling groove.

Cutting their teeth in the backwoods of Amador County, the rhythm section has been collaborating together since high school but it wasn’t until 2011 that Ideateam began consciously writing musically-poignant and thoughtful instrumental songs. A year of acclamation yielded many great arrangements as well as the urge to flesh out their sound. Ideateam has since adopted a full-time horn section, an additional percussionist and have been known to feature organ and vocals – what you wind up with is a massive sound fit to get a room moving.

The Ideateam was held at Sacramento State’s The University Union Redwood Room on Wednesday, February 26, 2014.
