MP3: Sharon Jones - 100 Days 100 Nights

Oh no! This morning’s official statement reads: *Friends and associates, As you may have heard through the grapevine by now, Daptone was broken into last night. Unfortunately, there was a lot of equipment (mics, pre-amps, monitors, turntables, guitars, amps, computers, etc.) stolen and damaged. It is going to take us a while to go through everything and take full stock of what was stolen, and we are not supposed to touch anything until the cops come back to collect fingerprints so we can only guess what’s missing from some mic drawers and cabinets. And, no, we did not have insurance. We had been shopping around with different companies earlier this month but had not signed a check, so nothing was insured. We are working on replacing the gate in front, installing an alarm system, and getting insurance, but it is President’s day so it’s not going as quickly as we would have liked. Nydia’s computer was stolen (which wasn’t backed up) and the modems/phone system was ripped out, so we’ll be relatively out of commission for a few days. I would like to ask for everyone’s help first in keeping an eye out for all of our stuff showing up on ebay/craigslist/local music shops, and secondly (and more realistically) keeping an eye out for good deals on headphones, mics, pre-amps, etc. I could really use a heads up on any kind of studio package for sale or studio equipment to be possibly bought or borrowed as soon as possible. We have a session scheduled for Friday to lay down some music for (I know this sounds surreal) Rod Stewart, and I’m going to have to get the studio running by then. I know I’m going to need to find headphones, cables, mics, and pre-amps by then. I’m not sure what else yet.*

For further info, head to BV.

MP3: Sharon Jones - 100 Days 100 Nights

Sharon Jones is a force to be reckoned with. In fact, she just may also be the greatest living performer. I first discovered this simple truth last year at her mind boggling Beacon Theater gig. Nearly twelve months to the day, I’m thrilled to report that SJ & The Dap-Kings are still as entertaining, electrifying & downright magnificent as that unforgettable evening, if not more so. Showcasing a wide range of covers (including the highly appropriate albeit possibly overdone ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’), myriad selections from 100 Days 100 Nights & a handful of stellar new tunes, the soulful hundred minute set was nothing short of brilliant from start to finish. Visit SJ on MySpace.
