Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings
On IFC's Dinner with the Band

Premieres Tuesday Nov. 24th @ 11pm ..

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - Ticklah Remix
"How Long Do I Have To Wait For You" (Reggae Version)
b/w "How Long Do I Have To Dub For You" (Dub Version)

Click here to PRE-ORDER NOW! Available October 21st.

This reggae version of a Dap-Kings' favorite is really TERRIFIC! Reggae mastermind TICKLAH (AKA Victor Axelrod, AKA Earl Maxton) has re-cast Sharon's vocals to the beat of his own drum, and it feels So Right!

He's taken the original raw tracks from the Dap-Kings' "Naturally" sessions down to his basement laboratory and put some of his Classic-Reggae-Evil-Genius shit all over it. Oh, he played it all on this one: drums, bass, echo-plex. He's got his hooks hitched, his pockets stitched, his mind switched, and this mix is fixed! It's RAW. It's HEAVY. It's RIGHT NOW. So spark that doobie and put your red, black, and green beanie on your turntable, cause this record is going On Your Head!

100 Days, 100 Nights
b/w Settling In
AVAILABLE NOW! Click to get your copy




Are you in the mood for a fantastic record?

Well take off everything you're wearing and try this on. As the title track of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings' latest smash long-player, the stirring Rhythm & Blues of "100 Days, 100 Nights" will be familiar to you. However, in order to satiate the appetites of 7" DJ's and jukebox owners worldwide who have been clammering to have their favorite song on their favorite format, we've cut it as a single. But that's not all. Flip your pancakes for a HOT NEW EXCLUSIVE. Settling In is a bluesy mid-tempo groover from the "100 Days, 100 Nights" recording sessions rearing its soulful head for the first time in ANY format.

Remember: There's nothing better than a good time.

the portland blues fest was a great time. I went with a friend who is now totally hooked on your funky soul music. Sharon you got moves and we love it (not to mention the smooth dap kings). James Brown may have passed on but soul power is alive and well.

You're an amazing band! I find it so hard to get my hands on such a great combination of soul voice and soul music nowadays.
Keep it soulful, respects from Geneva!

Thank you for playing the Green River Festival yesterday! I was going to give it a pass this year until I saw you were on the bill. This was the first time I've seen you live, and you were FAN-TAS-TIC! You are now on my MUST-SEE list from here on out!

So a couple weeks ago I bought 'Dark Was The Night' and I have to say 'Inspiration Information' is one of my favourite songs of the CD.

Then I went ahead and bought 'Naturally' on a whim hoping it would be like that song and it definitely is. Keep up the great work.
