The Emerald City Soul Club has been putting on soul dance nights around Seattle for the past couple of years. They focus on Northern Soul, quick tempo, garagy, heavy-beat soul music that got big in Northern England in the '60s and '70s, which many of the mods got into. The club has put on a Rare Soul Weekender, a New Years party, a couple nights in various clubs, and for the last year or so has been hosting a monthly soul night at the Lo Fi on Eastlake in Seattle. The night is hugely popular. From hardcore soul fanatics decked out for a night on the town to curious music fans checking out something new, the night draws a large diverse crowd who comes ready to dance, drink and have fun. I shot this last Saturday from a packed to capacity dance floor. For more information, check out the Emerald City Soul Club MySpace page.
