Canadian livetronica pioneers The New Deal parted ways after Jam Cruise in 2012, but the trio couldn’t stay away for long. The group just announced its reunion via a press release on their newly revamped website.

“It feels like the right time for us to be playing together again”, says bassist Dan Kurtz. “The New Deal needed some time to find some new musical inspiration and get some perspective on what is important about what, and how, we play together.” “We just needed a break to go do other things,” adds keyboardist Jamie Shields. “When the thing you love begins to feel only like work, it’s time to step away.”

Original drummer Darren Shearer will not be returning to the fold. In his stead, Joel Stouffer will fill in, as he did when Shearer broke his hand in 2011.

No dates have been announced yet, but a summer and fall agenda is pending. Several northeast dates along with a handful of festival circuit sets would be fairly safe bets.
