Oct 28, 02:28 PMThe New Mastersounds - Exclusive Album Release 'Ten Years On' & East Coast Nov Tour
Feels like it's been awhile since we've been in the US. We're glad to be heading back starting 11/4 in Charlottesville, VA at the Outback Lodge. From there we'll be hitting some of our favorite spots including the Bowery Ballroom in NY, The 8x10 in MD and the Bear Creek Music Festival. Check out our tour dates page for a complete listing and tour updates. The New Mastersounds are pleased to announce our Ten Years On Japan tour 2010 in association with Smash and P-Vine Records. The band will be playing all of Japan's hot spots:
Wed 20th Jan - Nagoya, Club QuattroThu 21st Jan - Osaka, Club QuattroSat 23rd & Sun 24th Jan - Tokyo, Club Quattro
This time we're taking our friend Chip Wickham on sax and flute, who also appears on the 'Chocolate Chip' single, just released. See the Ten Years On album info below. Ten Years On presents an impressive range of grooves and styles, all sheltering from the grey English drizzle under a big jazz-funk umbrella. There’s the familiar vintage-sounding production, courtesy of guitarist and bandleader Eddie Roberts. The core of the band is the same as on 2008’s Plug & Play, with Simon Allen on drums, Pete Shand on Fender P-bass, and Joe Tatton on organ, piano and various other vintage keyboards. The album has guests aplenty, some of them sending in their performances by email from distant shores. The CD version features a very special bonus track with Grace Potter. Nothing But the Water (II) is an NMS arrangement of one of Grace’s own original tunes. Other guests include JD73, Skerik, Sam Bell and Chip Wickham. It’s funky as hell and available exclusively as a digital download 11/2 or at our live shows starting 11/4. -
Sep 03, 10:40 AMThe New Mastersounds - Exclusive Downloads, Jet Setting and Keeping it P.C.After a long awaited holiday and a tour of Spain The New Mastersounds are making our way back to the US for the last leg of our Summer tour. We'll be kicking off at the 10th annual moe.down in Turin, NY on 9/4 into a 3 hour late night set at Equifunk with The Radiators in PA on 9/5. From there we'll hop on the private NMS jet to Bumbershoot in Seattle. Since we've acquired this jet we're going to wrap up the tour by hitting IC Yacht Club in IA and Miramar Theatre in WI then onto Harvest Fest in MN and Trinumeral Fest in NC. Ok really, we don't have a private jet but we wish we did for this run!
The New Mastersounds are pleased to announce our triumphant return to the East coast in November. We'll be hitting some of our favorite spots including the Bowery Ballroom in NY, The 8x10 in MD and the Bear Creek Music Festival. Check out our tour dates page for a complete listing and tour updates.

Aug 07, 11:29 AMThe New Mastersounds on HBO Aug 10thThe New Mastersounds are pleased to be part of the original HBO documentary "The Nine Lives of Marion Barry" airing Monday Aug 10th at 9pm/7pm CST. Our music is featured throughout the movie.
A synopsis:
To many, Marion Barry is remembered as the philandering drug-addled mayor of the nation's capital. To others, Marion Barry is a folk hero. Hailed as a civil rights champion and defender of the poor, his soaring achievements, catastrophic failures and phoenix-like rebirths have made him a symbol of mythic indestructibility. Today, to the dismay of some and the delight of others, Barry is once again in the political limelight. -

Apr 20, 02:39 PMAsheville Show - An ApologyTo all of our Asheville fans:
We're sorry to have toinform you that due to frustrating delays with our work visas, we won't be able to play the scheduled show this Wednesday with our friends DJ Logic and Moon Taxi.
We will continue with our tour of the Southeastern US starting in Athens, GA on Thursday April 23, barring any further visa delays.
For months we've been looking forward to coming back to Asheville, and have done everything in our power to avoid this situation -sadly, to no avail. We appreciate your support and understanding, and we hope you will give us the chance to make it up to you in the future.
That being said the show will go on with Moon Taxi and DJ Logic. DJ Logic will be joined by Laura Reed and Debrissa McKinney (of Laura Reed and Deep Pocket,) Luke Quaranta (Toubab Krewe,) Derrick Johnson (Booty Band, Big Ol Nasty Getdow"n") and Sam Hovey (SPAM All-Stars, Damien Marley). Please be sure to check them out!
Regards
