Sharon Jones is pretty cool.
The Dap Kings are pretty cool.
The Dap Tone record label is pretty cool.
I had the excellent pleasure of seeing Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings tonight. They were great. That makes a perfect 5 for 5 for legit shows I've seen since arriving in Portland.
She's like a cross between James Brown and Tina Turner, plus her band rocks. Totally worth the price of admission.
Some dude behind me said to his lady friend: "that's like James Brown or some shit" and his lady friend said " Yeah......but like.......that's a girl though."
Not Funny? Maybe you had to be there. But I laughed.
Soul and funk music appears to have some sort of revival going on. I think it's great. Check out any of the stuff off of DapTone. Even Stones Throw could turn you on to some cool stuff.
I'm a little drunk. I'm gonna go burn and play Halo.
