The New Mastersounds hail from Leeds, England and their appearances in the United States are somewhat limited, so this is a special opportunity.

I first caught them in May, 2005 at Subterranean on North Avenue and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. (I wrote about it here afterward.) Their musicianship is so tight and joyous that it causes levitation. They play a complex instrumental jam combination of funk and R&B and bluesy Southern soul and New Orleans syncopation and surf music — and yes, you can dance to it!
