Why is there no Northern Soul dance party in Boston?
Why is Boston so late to the resurgence of Northern Soul — or just awesome DJ-powered 60s soul parties, occasionally powered by bands?
New York has a couple of major deals:
The Subway Soul Club: http://www.myspace.com/subwaysoulclub
And Deep Deeper: http://www.myspace.com/digdeepernyc
We have a couple of bands that are in the neighborhood: The World’s Greatest Sinners and Jenny Dee & the Deelinquents - but WGS seems a little over to rockin’ R&B, and Jenny Dee to the girl group sound (but still, more secretly rocking than soulful — I love the cover of “Shake Some Action,” but I think they need to dig in a different part of the oldies bin).
Maybe Jenny Dee’s upcoming gigs at the Lizard Lounge will start to break this open.
