THE BURGH STANDS FOR VICTORY!

Last month I made it to the end of Viper Soul Club at the Shadow Lounge and one of the last songs of the evening was about Pittsburgh but I wasn’t able to get all of the details from DJ Juddy about this Pittsburgh song.

Well this video popped up on YouTube today – with the entire song and a great slide show of phoos from Vipers Soul Club in January. The lyrics seem quite fitting for today too.

The song is “The Burg” by Larry McGee was origionally released in 1976 by the label Boogie Band Records and was reissued in 2005 by Licorice Soul Records. You can purchase an origional copy of this record for $200 here.

You can check out Larry McGee’s MySpace page here.

Dance Away the Winter Blues

Yesterday, I was watching this interview on KDKD where I learned that most people gain 7 pounds between Thanksgiving and New Years. I want to mention that this interview was about a new product, that I think is pretty cool, called GoWearFIT, which is from a Pittsburgh company, BodyMedia.

One way to burn off some of those extra holiday calories would be to attend the December Viper’s Soul Club. Viper’s Soul Club is the monthly dance party with soul. DJ’s Juddy n’ Gordy will be spinning 1960s R&B, Motown, and Northern Soul music.

Heart of Saturday Night – Now with extra fun imported from Michigan

I have blogged about these events many times before. These guys are fun, their parties are great. What used to be called Soucialism is now the Vipers Soul Club. The dance parties are now at the Shadow Lounge – which offers the added bonus of being smoke free.

What I think is really notable is that members of the Ann Arbor Soul Club will be traveling to Pittsburgh to partake in the music and dancing fun.

Juddy has just posted a sample of some of the music for this weekend on the Soulcialism blog – click here to listen. Continue reading →
