The New Mastersounds

A guitarist I know sent me a link to The New Mastersounds. I hadn't heard of them till I played the video on YT. Anybody know anything about them??

They are from Leeds.

Check out their album Be Yourself, some good stuff on there. I'm not sure where I first came across them, but pretty sure from a thread on here. Related are the Sound Stylistics, whose album Play Deep Funk is another one I think is great.

I'm a late forties, blues, blues rock, heavy rock type bloke, and the whole funk thing passed me by in my youth. Got into playing bass last year, and now I'm buying stuff by these guys, Sly and The Family Stone,The Meters. Who'd a thought it...

I really like the New Mastersounds stuff, though, and would love to find more bands like them.

Awesome band, I have most of their albums too

Brilliant band. I used to be in a jazz/funk band up York way and we did a lot of stuff in Leeds, so played with them once or twice, and saw them many times there, and once at The Jazz Cafe. Always a really enjoyable gig

Me too. Another of those UK bands that is big in the US and gets little recognition here. A bit like The Fixx.

Liking that! Thats very funky, just how I like it.
Will be getting some of their stuff very soon.

I saw them at the Brooklyn Bowl at the O2 last year supporting Corduroy. What a good night [i]that[/i] was!
