 The New Mastersounds

In the late 1990's, guitarist and producer Eddie Roberts was running a club night in Leeds called "The Cooker." When "The Cooker" moved into a new venue with a second floor in 1999, there was space and the opportunity to put a live band together to compliment the DJ sets. Simon Allen and Eddie had played together in 1997 as The Mastersounds though with a different bassist and no organ. Through friends and the intimate nature of the Leeds music scene, Pete Shand and Bob Birch were added on bass, and Hammond respectively, and The New Mastersounds were born. Though it was raw and more of a boogaloo sound at first, it was powerful from the start. Their first rehearsal was hot enough for Blow it Hard Records to release on two, limited-edition, 7" singles in 2000. As a band and as individuals, they have since clocked up collaborations with an impressive array of musicians, DJs, and producers.

My House, Your House

ImaginOn is taking visitors on a journey into the homes of people around the world, through a traveling exhibition created by the Children's Museum of Memphis. People live in all kinds of housing - large, small, portable, floating - the list is long! Your House, My House explores how landscape, climate, resources, culture and lifestyle determine the way a house functions and what it looks like. Visitors will step into three model homes: a Mongolian herder's ger, an m'bure from the tropics of Fiji and a stilt house from a Malaysian fishing village. Activities inside each house explore how universal family activities are similar and different around the globe. The Your House My House at ImaginOn hands-on activities throughout the gallery will encourage visitors to design their own houses, construct houses of different materials, and compare and contrast houses from different parts of the world.
