New Mastersounds, The Big Idea

When: Sat., Sept. 10 2011

THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS Listening to this quartet from Leeds, England, one gets visions of little 13” color TVs, where Huggy Bear from Starsky and Hutch may just stroll off the screen and into the living room. The band concocts old-time, ’70s funk with jazzy breaks with a contemporary disposition. On record, guest vocalists such as Grace Potter add a smooth element. The blokes are on the road for their album Breaks from the Border. The Big Idea will open. (Samir Shukla)
