I seem to recall a delightfully nasty show in the state of Iowa a few days ago. The Yacht Club show was unanimously agreed to be of epic proportions by the locals
The New Mastersounds
The New Mastersounds
you're right of course - we made the list 2 days before the Iowa gig - oops! Btw, that was our favourite gig of the tour after Chicago. Yacht club is the perfect size and shape for sweaty funk, Diplomats of Solid Sound are righteous, and the venue peeps spun some tasty tunes before and after the gig, which is almost unheard of in the US. x Si

Kenny and Setsu: still trying to finish off the album in the brief time we have at home between US tours. Yes: there will be a Grace Potter cover on there, featuring Grace Potter. Also, we're putting out a vinyl 7" single (end July maybe, will announce when we have official release date...) x Si

The New Mastersounds I was just accidentally in the room when our tour manager was asking the venue manager for fruit on our behalf: "They usually like bananas" says she. "I wasn't told anything about that," he replies. Sheesh! Are we going to have to find a supermarket ourselves and risk getting shot again?

The New Mastersounds

The New Mastersounds I'm delighted to announce that we didn't get shot in Omaha. And now we're in Kansas City, Missouri in a posher-than-usual-thanks-to-Priceline hotel. Pete is watching adverts and mistaking them for actual TV content. x Si

The New Mastersounds Simon again: Ok, so we managed to attract about 100 people last night, most of whom seemed to enjoy our clattering, banging, plucking and scraping. Just about to soundcheck now in Omaha, Nebraska. Pete and I just walked to a supermarket to buy some fruit and the main street did feel a bit like the kind of place you might get shot. Let's see how the evening pans out...

The New Mastersounds Greetings, Facebook chums! This is Simon, reporting from the road to Minneapolis, trying out our tour manager's magic internet dongle. We're listening to Royksopp in a white 15-seater Ford passenger van. I'm wondering how we will get on in aforementioned city on a Tuesday night, having never played there before. I suppose if this works, I can let you know tomorrow...

We DO want to come back to Grey Eagle, but straight after 4th July weekend was considered a bad idea, so it might not be until November. Hang in there!
