Soulvation Wednesdays

No, the above title isn't the name of a new weekly blog post (sorry!), but it is the name of a weekly soul music night at Strangelove (587 College Street, Toronto).

I quite fancy Strangelove for its electro music on Thursday nights, but I had never been on a Wednesday until two weeks ago.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience- no cover, $3 drinks 'til midnight, $3 shots of Jack & Jager all night, flatscreen TVs showing old videos of funky performances, an assortment of DJs playing '60s soul, motown, R&B, and rock 'n roll, and people that aren't afraid to shake what their mama gave them.

Perhaps Wednesday night isn't the ideal night to boogie on down, but a groggy Thursday morning spent double-fisting coffee every once in a while is definitely worth it.

For more info, check out Soulvation's MySpace and Facebook group.

Soulvation is amazing!

I used to pour beer on the dance floor to better my twist.

...yeah, it wasn't appreciated.
