New Idea Society centers around the song writing of its main creative force Mike Law.  Along with his primary collaborator Stephen Brodsky, New Idea Society has begun to assemble an impressive catalogue of home recorded songs in addition to  an upcoming “proper” studio release.
As usual New Idea Society was not content to go the boring route even while recording in a fully equipped studio.  The upcoming yet to be titled record was recorded totally live (yes including vocals) by a band of assembled friends after only one practice!  This forced everyone to quickly find the core of the songs without over analysis.   In this manner the recording of 16 tracks was completed in less than a week.  The new album was recorded live with the musicians all playing in one room because that is what music sounds like.
Originally the band began as a way for Mike Law to test the limits of his recording ideas for songs that didn’t fit into his other projects, but has since grown into his only focus with a live band and a revolving cast that has toured the U.S., Japan, and Europe.  On tour NIS is ever changing, a live show may consist of Mike Law solo, to a 5 piece band or somewhere in-between.
