The 5th element Rob Lavers joins on sax and flute, grooving seemlessly with guitarist Eddie Roberts and B3 burner Bob Birch. Messers Pete Shand and Simon Allen serve up a heavy dose of phat bass and drums that keep the arrangements grooving and twisting through the thick funk forest only the New Mastersounds can guide you through. The band has been touring the US doing the festival and jamband club circuit laying down 3 hour sets and 5 hour gigs, running through dozens of rare funk and soul jazz gems with sits ins with members of the Meters, Galactic, Phish, Papa Mali, Karl Denson and the Greyboy Allstars.
