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 3rd, 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 Auditorium in San Francisco, CA.
