the NEW DEAL announce a metamorphosis into The JOIN.
the New Deal, a pioneer of the "livetronica" sound and a mainstay in both the Electronic and Jamband scenes for close to eight years, was recently faced with the possibility of having to cancel their recent California tour due to Dan Kurtz's increasingly busy schedule with his new pop project Dragonette.
To counter the nebulous months to come, drummer Darren Shearer and keyboard player Jamie Shields have developed The JOIN - a musical unit that will host a revolving door of musicians depending on what area of the world they're in as well as what show setting they find themselves a part of. The JOIN premiered recently with a sold-out West Coast tour which featured David Murphy (STS9) on bass.
And now another evolution, The JOIN, are extremely excited to announce upcoming runs featuring Marc Brownstein & Aron Magner (the Disco Biscuits) and Tom Hamilton & Clay Parnell (Brothers Past).
The New Deal's music, rooted in improvisation, is based on creating and developing actual songs and themes in the moment. This new project will allow them to spread their wings and share this creative ethic with other musicians from many disciplines and backgrounds.
The JOIN, the New Deal's alter ego digression, promises to be a very exciting project and each unique show experience should not be missed.
Look for more shows for The JOIN to be announced soon.
