Pandemic – Global Music Dance Night – 5th Anniversary Celebration

Cover of Life Is a Dance

One of the many things I have learned from writing this blog and meeting great Pittsburgh people (a huge thank you to everyone who has helped to spread the word about the Steelers Party this Sunday) is an appreciation of good music.  I think that many would say I have no taste in music – I tend to play the same songs on the

jukebox – No Diggity – is usually one of them.  Anyone who has every borrowed my car, when I had a car knows the CD was usually Chaka Khan – Life is a Dance – a gem of a CD (the cover art speaks volumes about this album) that I picked up at Half Priced Books.

But as I mentioned in an earlier post – I have learned there are good DJs and bad DJs in Pittsburgh.  One of the good ones is DJ Juddy – who is also a super nice person, a great writer and has lots of good stories about Pittsburgh and Steelers bars.  I think he is also the person who introduced me to the best Pittsburgh song ever…

Flyer from Previous Pandemic Dance Night

And I stumbled upon an awesome night of music from Brooklyn’s Slavic Soul Partyat a Pandemic music night at the Shadow Lounge in 2008 – which even led to the creation of t-shirt in support of more accordion.

DJ Juddy is also the founder or Pandemic – a regular night of global dance music – which is celebrating their 5th Anniversary this Friday night.So this Friday – if you like music, and dancing – then you need to head over to the Brillobox for a big bad night of great dance music.
