They were scheduled to play a gig in my hometown (Asheville NC) and I had a tentative plans to interview the band when they arrived. But at the last minute (Asheville was an early date on the planned tour) the band ran into visa problems &#8212; a common problem for many bands at the time.<\/p>\n<p>So I was thrilled to learn that The New Mastersounds would be coming here for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avlearthday.org\/\">Earth Day weekend festival<\/a>. More pleased to hear their new album <em>Ten Years On<\/em>. And delighted to set up an in-person interview with the band while they&#8217;re here. So keep an eye open for a New Mastersounds feature, coming very soon. And if you&#8217;re in the vicinity of Asheville NC, go see them. It&#8217;s free, but a bargain at any price. (Other acts on the bill are more of the jam-band variety: in those cases one gets what one pays for.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first learned of Leeds UK-based funk instrumental quartet The New Mastersounds around the time of release of their 2008 album Plug and Play.
