The Sweet Divines - The New Ikettes?

Wooooh weee! I really lost my mind fellas! These ladies are the real thing! The absolute funkified all gal soul combo of our era! I crashed them accidentally and as it happens usually with things like this, you can only do just one move... To get down on your knees and beg for more! As i searched, found that they 're part of the cool society that encloses, Eli 'Paperboy' Reed, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Dig Deeper soul crew and last but not least, Mighty Hannibal (!). Fuck, how many times in this life should i curse my fate for not be a new yorker? If you're one and you didn't catch 'em live already, you SHOULD be ashamed! I can't wait for a vinyl copy of their "Heckuva Man" EP (sorry, no i-tunes for things that got SOUL!). Sexy, smooth and dirty... My cup o' tea! I wish all gals looked and sound like the Sweet Divines! If you're a fan of sweet southern soul music, if you 're still wearing Stax t-shirts and slam your luck frequently for not having a chance to catch at their heights Etta James, Dusty Springfield, Ike & Tina's Revue jamming with Eddie Bo or Allen Toussaint, you maybe got lucky this time... Their reincarnation in four hot Divas bodies got one name...The Sweet Divines! I need before long a vinyl slice of these gals work! Anyone out there obtain these signals?

    Thanks for bringing my attention to this group. Any post that mentions Miss Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings is a friend of mine. Would love to hear a Sweet Divines album.

    God Bless Tina Turner.

    Hi, big fan of your blog, your musical taste is quite similar to mine, I've got a small blog, in Spanish, dealing mainly with R&B and Soul 45's from my collection as well as pictures of toy monsters, taken also from my collection.


    The link for the blog is:

    I would really appreciate if you could check out my blog, and if you find it interesting, add it to your blog roll.

    I think that the Sweet Divines are descended from a band called the Dansettes, who made similar music. I think that another band with a similar sound, the Nouvellas, are also derived from the Dansettes. All are very worth a listen.

    i was able to get a 45 by the dansettes "oh my",but unfortunately not by the sweet divines - the heckuva man download at their website looks like a vinyl label ,but they told me (via email) only the download is available...
    so i'm still waiting for them to come to europe - and the 7inch of heckuva man (even if this track was available on a sampler lp :"soul shaker ,vol.5")
