Original Press Release:
Ladies and Gentleman, Brothers and Sisters! Direct from Brooklyn U.S.A, Billions Australia are very proud to introduce to Australia, the baaaddest soul sister on the circuit - Sharon Jones, with her mighty band, the world famous Dap-Kings!
Yes that is 100% correct and you did hear me right!!!! Get your dancing shoes ready and prepare to be electrified in the butt and feet by the dynamite soul power of Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings!
"This is southern soul, churchified funk and the kind of R&B that has remembered it is meant to be both rhythm and blues. It's the ultimate party music. Thank God it's back." Bernard Zuel - Sydney Morning Herald, 2005.
The moment the needle drops on one of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings gritty 45's or two critically acclaimed albums, you hear funk as it's supposed to be played, a beast best caressed not bludgeoned, and you hear a voice that is pure and honest and needs no help from your modern digital world.
It's a voice that echoes timelessness backed by a band who have the keys to a Pandora's box of soulful grooves.
Whilst the records have stunned and captivated listeners, garnering praise and radio play every where they go, it's now Australia's turn to finally witness Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings in their natural environment.
Sweating it out on the stage, giving the people what they need - 100% guaranteed, pure soul/funk excitement.
