Fresh off of an exciting debut weekend in Colorado and dates across Texas, The New Mastersounds and Turkuaz are really rocking their collaborative tour. Ahead of the groups’ next round of dates, The New Mastersounds and Turkuaz have debuted the music video for The New Mastersounds cover of Turkuaz’s “The Rules”, featuring members of Turkuaz joining the Mastersounds for a classic soul-style rendition of the song.
The tune serves as one side of a split 7” EP that both groups collaborated on. The record features both bands performing a cover song from the other artist’s catalog, while also joining in on the collaboration. Check out “The Rules” below.
We also recently had the opportunity to premiere “On The Border” recently. Watch that here.
The two tracks were recorded over two days at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA, where all members of both groups shacked up before playing High Sierra Music Festival this past summer. The session made for exciting results, with each band putting a fresh take on each other’s songs. The music video, directed by Dani Brandwein, pulls back the blinds on the session that also served as the first time both bands had ever been in the same room together.
Kicking off at the beginning of October with four nights throughout Colorado, the tour caravans all four corners of the country and blankets both East and West Coasts. Notable stops include Ogden Theatre in Denver, Terminal 5 in New York City, the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C., and The Fillmore in San Francisco. A full list of tour dates is below. This week, the tour will make stops in New Orleans, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg, FL.
