Connie Price & The Keystones

"Conceived by cult guitarist Dan Ubick and drummer Connie Price, this 10-track LP is the most captivating piece of original instrumental funk to come along in decades." – Dazed And Confuzed

Steeped in American funk and soul, Jamaican production aesthetics, Afrobeat, psychedelic rock, late 1960s/early 1970s movie soundtracks, and lots of jazz, Connie Price & The Keystones have melded together their favorite music into a style all their own.

"We're really trying to bring soul music back into a cinematic landscape for the full length, bouncing off what producers like Roy Budd, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, and Lalo Schifrin did for films, but throwing in some Coxsone Dodd, Eddie Bo, and Miles Davis for flavor," says producer Dan Ubick. "We're definitely going to be picking up up where the Blood's Haul EP left off."

Primarily a guitarist , Dan Ubick, spent years in Los Angeles' own live-DJ ensemble, the Breakestra, traveling the world to promote the band's Live Mix Part 2, as well as contributing to Macy Gray's On How Life Is, Blood Of Abraham's EyeDollarTree, DJ Babu's Duck Season Vol. 2 and Madlib's Blue Note LP Shades Of Blue.

In his spare time, the guitarist worked on original music with friend and drummer, Connie Price, trumpeter Todd M. Simon (Macy Gray, Daptone, Soul Fire, etc), and saxophonist/flutist James King (Breakestra). The vibe was picked up on tape, and Stones Throw Records label manager and friend, Eothen "Egon" Alapatt, decided to sign the Keystones to a deal on his new splinter label, Now-Again Records. Alongside many deserving vintage funk reissues, like the L.A. Carnival, Galt MacDermot, and the Stark Reality, the Keystones feel right at home.
