Sharon Jones to the funky rescue! (With video!)

Promotional e-mail of the day. (Rarely are they so entertaining and ON!, so we thought we’d share.)

From World’s Fair Label Group:

Last night Clap Your Hands Say Yeah ripped out a new single, called “Statues” to a very excited audience (what’s with the people on the side of the stage, anyway?).
