Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings

Muhfuckin' Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have a new record coming out Septmeber 25 called 100 Days, 100 Nights and will naturally be released via their wonderful always independent label Daptone Records.

Since the 2005 release of their Naturally LP, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings have continued to build a worldwide following for their raw soulful recordings and blistering live performances.

Dap-Kings are also well known right now for backing Amy Winehouse on her most recent record.

Like the highly acclaimed Naturally LP before it, 100 Days, 100 Nights was recorded in their self-built, self-operated, all analog recording studio in Bushwick, Brooklyn and bares the unmistakable Daptone Soul Sound - highly in demand among music fans and tastemakers alike.

In the last year, producers such as Kanye West, Mark Ronson, Hank Shocklee, and Kenny Dope have been among those who came knocking at Daptone's door seeking the inimitable Dap-Kings sound.

The Dap-Kings lend a tougher edge to their own productions for such artists as Rhymefest, Lily Allen, Ghostface Killah and Amy Winehouse. Meanwhile, Sharon Jones herself has past the time between touring lending the her soulful voice to projects for Lou Reed, Rufus Wainwright, They Might Be Giants and others.

The raw fire and soul which Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings consistently pour into their music will make this record and this band an irreplaceable part of many people's lives.
