I'm not formally in any band, but there are a bunch of people who I play with often, and two particular groups that could take off into bands. The first would be a basic jam band, but really extended jams, basically jazz rock. The second is sort of like the first, but the people in it don't really know what they're doing (except for me, not to sound arrogant but it's true), and the goal is way more chaotic and messy. Sort of free jazzy, but we have yet to add anything outside of the basic power trio to either band, although I'd love to if I get the chance. Both of them, especially the first, are mainly based on improvisation. Spontaneous improvisation, so we just start playing whatever comes into someone's head.
