In the beginning Now We..ve got Members didn..t have any members at all. Today the band revolves around a core of eight people, and in some live situations they..re augmented by additional musicians, forming an ensemble of as many as fifteen members.
The music can be described as a mixture of musical styles from near and distant hemispheres, all relative to which hemisphere the listener might be situated. The band has been known to incorporate folk music from the balkans, arabian funk and transcendental jams into their complex yet hummable pop tunes. Add to this elements of progressive rock (without the rock), disco (without the mirrorballs) and free jazz (without the jazz), and you have an idea of what Now We..ve got Members sounds like.
The band is most comfortable on a stage in front of a dancing and ecstatic audience, and has also recorded three albums. A fourth full-length record is scheduled for release sometime during the course of 2007.
'Another Deal' is the first single from the forthcoming Palace Of Pleasure album, scheduled for release in August/September 2008.
The single will be available as download only (iTunes etc.), but you can download it for free for a limited period at: www. myspace. com/palaceofpleasure
Yes, I managed to miss the release of the first PoP single since I joined the band (and my first single release ever!), but that's what happens when you're in the middle of the north Atlantic, running around in viking clothes. Anyway, I hope you'll follow my belated advice and check out our new tune. Download it for free and start dancing! :D
