One of the most exciting developments in progressive electronica is the return of acclaimed live breakbeat house trio The New Deal. Fans were thrilled when powerhouse musicians Jamie Shields (keyboards), Joel Stouffer (drums), and Dan Kurtz (bass) announced scattered dates earlier this year. It marked their return to touring after calling it to pursue other endeavors in 2011. The select fall and summer dates displayed the band in tiptop form with more onstage energy than ever. It appears that the band plans to continue reestablishing themselves in the genre they created. In January the band will return to California for two nights at the Independent in San Francisco (January 16^th and 17^th.) The band is also promoting their first new studio recording since 2003, “Sabotage The System.” Join the band for this exciting career moment and these upcoming California and Colorado gigs at Aspen’s Belly Up, Boulder Theater, and Denver’s Ogden Theater by purchasing tickets through thenewdeal.com
