Dancing
Emerald City Soul Club at Lo-Fi
Why do I love Emerald City Soul Club? Because ECSC is one night's blissful reprieve from the same old musical palette and constant THUMP THUMP THUMP of other club nights. Every 45 that the DJs play sounds familiar, even the ones I'm sure I don't know, and every song swings and spins and steps across a floor that's been sprinkled with baby powder for your dressed-up dancing pleasure. It's perfect. (Lo-Fi, 429 Eastlake Ave E, 254-2824. 9 pm, $7, 21+.) ERIC GRANDY
Music
Georgetown Music Fest at Georgetown
The third annual Georgetown Music Fest is a shot of adrenaline stabbed into the heart of Seattle's industrial district, and it's bigger than ever, with 60 bands on four stages over two days. Friday night ends with a performance by Helmet (!), but Saturday's all-day schedule brings the best bargain with sexy, blues-infused classic rock by Thee Emergency, quirky acoustic songs by PWRFL Power, and the Lashes' first Seattle performance of '08. (Georgetown Music Fest, 6000 Airport Way S, www .georgetownmusicfest.com. 11:30 am, $17 DOS/$26 for a weekend pass, all ages.) MEGAN SELING
Except the Lashes have played a number of shows in 2008... NYE at the Comet, an early January Show at the VERA Project, and the night before their GMF show at King Cobra.
More great fact checking from the Stranger!
