Chaka (Ms. Khan if you're nasty) is on the top of my "must see" list, second only to Prince but tying with Bjork and Sade. I have to give Velvet Sessions credit: usually their lineup is filled with mildly washed up music acts that only nerds (yes, me) will appreciate. Recent acts have included The Tubes, The Fixx and Bret Michaels -- not exactly a stellar roster (good thing there's an open bar). But by booking the "Queen of Funk Soul" they have upped their game, which explains why the admission price has also jumped from $25 to $40.
It's totally worth it. And if she sings "I Know You, I Live You" and/or "Through The Fire," look for the little Becky puddle that happily melted onto the floor.
If you manage to survive being Chaka-fied, get your dance on over at the monthly Pop Off party, taking place tonight at The Social. This flyer grosses me out big time but I guess guys like it so... maybe it will be a sausage party? At least the music will be good.
