No News is Good News (posted 3 days ago)
Hello. Couldn't think of anything we needed to tell you, but we thought this photo of Pete walking off stage in Tokyo last month was rather nice, so I have had to write something to accompany the photo on our home page. TTFN x Simon

US Tour in March w/ Trombone Shorty (Jan 12)
We're kicking off 2010 with an international tour including Japan, Spain and the United Kingdom. Our first US tour will begin March 3rd in Boulder, CO at The Fox Theatre with hype worthy New Orleans natives Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. Also joining the entire tour will be San Francisco Bay Area musician (and son of 10x Grammy winner Carlos) Salvador Santana.
After mutually admiring each other's music this will be the first time we'll be out with Trombone Shorty, hitting some of the West Coast's most renowned venues including the El Rey in Los Angeles, The Fillmore in San Francisco and the Wonder Ballroom in Portland, OR. The collaboration that will come is shaping up to be one for the record books. Check our tour dates page for more info.

Relix Magazine - Ten Years On Review
"From the opening speed jam "San Frantico" to the closing toe-tapper "Make Me Proud," British funk exports The New Mastersounds shine on Ten Years On. Grace Potter sits in on a nice reworking of her bluesy "Nothing But the Water" (shades of "Cold Blood") and Skerik adds horns on "Ooom." While guitarist Eddie Roberts deftly shifts between chicken-scratch funk and Wes Montgomery flourishes ("The Road to Fuji"), Joe Tatton alternates from sparkly Rhodes to soul-drenched organ ("Make Me Proud"), never missing a beat. The group even pulls off the dance-themed "Cielo and Ooom." The New Mastersounds are a revelation. - Steve Bloom"
Hole in the Bag 5 star Review
"...Hole in the Bag is a fat nugget of organs, wah-wah and clattering drums if ever there was one, and sees the band do their best Meters impression to date. So much is this the case in fact, that should Cyril Neville and co. ever hear it they'll be swearing on their mum's lives that this is a long lost cut off 1969 classic The Meters and doubtless wondering how it ever got missed off the final mix as they scratch greying afros."
