sharon jones & the dap-kings

We BOTheads have been busy the past couple of days -- Thursday night saw Coffee, Doughnut, Eggs and myself (plus a couple of friends) at the Pharoahe Monch show (with support from Orgone) Scion hosted at Warehouse Live. Last night, Doughnut and Coffee took in Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings at Walter's On Washington, while Eggs and I checked out the Plump CD release party at Dan Electro's Guitar Bar. Tonight, all four of us are heading to The Greyboy Allstars show at Warehouse Live -- we've got an interview lined up with the band, and we're planning on snapping some great pictures from backstage to share with all of you out there in readerland. This San Diego-based funk/jazz group hasn't played Texas in ten years, so we're all really looking forward to tonight's show. If you're planning on attending (and you should!), come say hi and get your picture taken for the site! Coffee and I will be doing the promo thing between sets.
