From last.fm:

Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, aka Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, are a / band, founded in Brooklyn, NY, USA (1996). They are signed to Daptone Records, where the dap-kings are the house band. They are widely thought to be spearheads of a revivalist movement that aims to capture the essence of funk/soul music as it was at its height in the mid-1960s to mid-1970s. Part of the way this is achieved is to shun modern digital recording methods in favour of using traditional analogue recording equipment. Read more about Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings on Last.fm.
