New Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings Video - "100 Days, 100 Nights"
In this classic looking and sounding Adam Elias-directed footage -- according to notes provided over at YouTube, Elias shot it with a pair of vintage television cameras purchased via eBay for $50 a piece -- the Bushwick-based Dap-Kings are back at home behind Sharon Jones after their stint with Wino for her Back To Black and its subsequent tour, then with Mark Ronson at the ultra-awkward VMAs. Making the most of the reunion, Jones sweats the '60s soulful title track from her newest record, wrapping her voice around each syllable, like she's memorized its entire contour and back story. Love the quivery opening titles, too.
100 Days, 100 Nights is out on Daptone.

mtv news did this amazing piece recently that featured the dap-kings giving a tour of their homemade studio in brooklyn. it's nice to know there are still a couple of people over at mtv who know what they're doing.

Question to SJ+DK fans : do you all get 'dressed for the occasion' when you go see this fantastic group? I really want to do a dress-up for the show coming up but don't want to embarass my date...your personal experiences will help me a lot!
