Got Soul?
Sunday, November 19, 2006My love of live music took me to a place in the Warehouse District of Minneapolis call Trocadero’s. The Group to see was called The Prophets of Soul.
I met up with Conservative Girl and the Sister and Brother in law of the guy she’s “dating.” I hadn’t ever been to this place before, but it’s definitely a pretty cool place. They have their dining area and then a separate night club area. We ate dinner and then when the club opened, move to the balcony above the stage and dance area. We grabbed a spot on one of the crazy animal print couches and enjoyed the show.
The Prophets are a fun bunch and I had seen them a couple times before. The first time was actually with CG since one of the members of the group works with her best friends. In another bit of small worldness it turns out that one of the sax players in the band is also cousin’s with CG’s “boyfriend.”
As the name would suggest they music they play is all of a soulful variety. They have three different singers and go through all sorts of music from the era of Soul. From Otis Redding to Gladys night to The Tops to whatever. The music is always fun and to top it off the group is always moving and dancing and just having a blast.
I got a picture or three, but I can’t seem to find the cable to download them form my camera, but keep an eye out for those as well. And if you happen to be in the Twin cities, make sure to check out the Prophets ;O)
