May USA trip (posted 5 days ago)
Thanks to everyone who came out to see our late-night shows at the House of Blues in New Orleans during 2nd weekend of Jazzfest. We had a right rollicking good time. We are hugely grateful to all our musical guests - not only Alecia Chakour, Jans Ingber, Natalie Cressman, Jennifer Hartswick, Mike Olmos and Joe Cohen, who helped us realise our 1973/1983 theme nights - but also to the many eminent musicians who called by unannounced and sat in with us.

OurVinyl Breaks Review
"...the energy of their playing is contagious: the band lets loose and exudes a true dirty, funky vibe."
About.com Reviews Breaks
"If the late, great James Brown was still alive and looking for a backing band, you'd have to think that one act that would be near the top of his list is British Funk-Soul group the New Mastersounds, which plays that old-school, '70s Funk and Soul as if it never went out of style. "
