U.S. RELEASE OF NEW ALBUM WITH BONUS CUTS & REMIXES
AND CELEBRATORY SHOWS IN MARCH



“Like Fred Wesley & The New JB's, Bobby Byrd, Marva Whitney or Maceo & The Macks in their day, the Mastersounds know groove and furrow it out like hogs on truffles." -JamBase



The New Mastersounds


The New Mastersounds are pleased to announce the US release of Plug & Play with special additions including remixes by JD73 (former bassist from Morcheeba), DRAWBAR, and 2 bonus live tracks. Preceded by already rave reviews and amazing live shows, the album, released by One Note Records/Fontana, is due out on March 3, 2009 with special bonus tracks included. What you get: trademark infectious grooves, warm vintage production by guitarist Eddie Roberts, and successful forays into sub-genres like psychedelic afro-funk and soul jazz. With the phenomenal vocal additions of Dionne Charles, Plug & Play is epically representative of the unmistakable soulfulness of their music.

On the tour front, The New Mastersounds will be returning to the US this March to promote the release of Plug & Play. The tour kicks off in San Diego, CA with plenty of exciting stops along the way including their first headlining show at The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA. The tour will hit 15 cities and wrap up with a show at The Gothic Theatre in Denver, CO.



Led by guitarist-producer Eddie Roberts, The New Mastersounds feature Joe Tatton on Hammond, Pete Shand on bass and Simon Allen on drums.
