MENAHAN STREET BAND
AUSTRALIAN TOUR SEPTEMBER 2009
Daptone Records has been the catalyst for a global revival of authentic soul, funk and afrobeat and they’ve almost single handedly busted soul out worldwide from within the walls of a quaint little townhouse in Brooklyn.
An incredible and influential group of musicians have come together around Daptone and built a powerful soul music community that habitually produces killer bands, studios and record labels.
SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS, MENAHAN STREET BAND, ANTIBALAS, BUDOS BAND, LEE FIELDS, NAOMI SHELTON & THE GOSPEL QUEENS, CHARLES BRADLEY to name a few.
Daptone Studio and contributions from various Dap-Kings were also the source of the sounds on the 10 million selling Amy Winehouse album ‘Back in Black’.
So in Dap-world where SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS are the high energy party... MENAHAN STREET BAND are the highly charged sex scene afterwards; Smooth and cool and sexy enough to know you are going back for more and more! This is soul below the belt for lovers of funk, soul, jazz, big horns and sweeping soundscapes.
MENAHAN STREET BAND features members of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Budos Band, Antibalas and El Michels Affair and they tour Australia for the first time this September and as a special treat they bring the undisputed new heavyweight champion of soul – CHARLES BRADLEY.
That’s right….direct from Brooklyn, New York
