our efforts to secure that all important record deal have been bumped up a notch by the recent recordings with producer Jeff Saltzman (The Killers' 'Hot Fuss' etc) in San Francisco. We have recorded virtually the whole of the second album and the response from record companies both in Europe and the US has been amazing. They are starting to call us, which is nice ;-)

Two important gigs coming up, amongst others, one in LONDON, one in NEW YORK.
M.A.S.S. have been selected to showcase @ this years CMJ convention in New York, we are at present scraping the money together to go but at the last minute it's all looking on track.
Our slot is on Saturday 17th September (onstage 9PM) @ DON HILLS in the village.
Prior to leaving UK we will be playing a warm up (as special guests of Goldenhorse[NZ]) on September 13th @ 93 Feet East
You can check out our blog on the progress of the second album via our blog @ http://masstheband.blogspot.com/ and on M.A.S.S. @ Myspace
And finally, a big shout out to everyone who came to support us on the recent UK dates
