Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings live webcast right now on NPR.

It won't be on for much longer, but maybe some of you might dig it.

I've seen them play a few times. The bass player was using a vintage Carvin. I asked him after the show about it and what kind of strings he was using. He replied, "Um, I don't know? What ever came with the bass.". Dude can sure lay it down.

it's over... I'm sad...

The Dap Kings are great. I rhapsody'd Amy Winehouse's album because they back her.

The Budos Band is cool too (also on Daptone rekkids).

Nice, I want to see them live really badly. I think they're playing in Indianapolis soon, so I might make the drive. I'm trying to get them booked at the local college tho.

They just played here in Boston with Budos. The show sold out pretty quick and I never was able to get tickets. Bummer.

I hope you get to see them in Indy.
