Check out some photos by our friend Casey Flanigan from that New Orleans show here. We're looking forward to heading back to Summer Camp over Memorial Day weekend. Then we'll be headed to Lousiville for a show at Headliner's Music Hall on 5/31. Now we've heard My Morning Jacket is playing that night, so if you must go, join us after. Then it's onto Newport, KY at Southgate House for our first time.

Goodbye Spain, hello USA!  (Feb 22)       

The Spain tour, which ended in style in Madrid on Feb 13th, was a blast. Thanks to everyone who made it possible, especially Eneida Fever, David Elejalde, Marcos Flores and Joshua Bogen. We are now gearing up to return to the USA for 3 weeks, starting next Tuesday in Jackson, WY and ending on March 20th at the Sebastopol Documentary Festival. For everything in between have a look at our tour page, but I doubt we'll be seeing many oranges on trees for a while, and I think Pete will be keeping his mighty arms covered up. (x Simon)

March Tour Announcement  (Jan 11 2011)       

Once we wrap up our February Spain tour we will return to the US and head west for a spring tour starting in Jackson, WY at Town Square Tavern.

Masterology Release, Jamcruise Pre-Party  (Dec 08 2010)       

Sundazed Music has assembled Masterology: The Pioneers of New British Funk, which collects a career-spanning selection of highlights from The New Mastersounds' catalog, along with a scintillating smattering of rarities. Distilling the band's widescreen sonic vision into a massively impressive package, it's a monumental testament to The NMS' seminal body of work. Masterology is available in both compact disc and LP versions. The CD features 19 tracks drawn from the quartet's history, while the double-LP gatefold edition-pressed on high-definition vinyl-contains 20 tracks. In any format, it's a killer celebration of The New Mastersounds' international funk uprising! Also available is the 7in single with two unreleased tracks "So Many Pies" and "Frisbee." Both available now at Sundazed Music. Masterology and the 7 in will also be available at shows coming up. We're celebrating the New Years with a stop in Chicago, Charleston for NYE and an official Jamcruise pre-party (JUST ANNOUNCED) on 1/2 in Boca Raton. Check out our tourdates page for all shows.
