Houston's Fistful of Soul returns after a four year hiatus on Saturday, December 9 at Shoeshine Charley's Big Top LoungE.would draw lines around the funky block and fill the club and backyard with eager, smiling dancers. The popular DJ collective hasn’t hosted an event since their tenth anniversary show in December of 2019 but this week, the group returns for a much anticipated night of vinyl.
As members moved away or began other projects, the collective shifted members but continued to include Anderson as the founder later accompanied by Joe Ross and Alex LaRotta with the group adding Jason Woods, a.k.a Flash Gordon Parks, all four who will be at the reunion show. “Intense” is right as people packed the club during each of Fistful of Souls monthly dance parties and the group going on to win Best Of Houston Press awards and acknowledgement from DJs in other cities. “Who would have thought playing vintage soul music would become a phenomenon,” says LaRotta. “There's clearly a big response in the city from it and I always felt humbled by that.”
They even released a poster with step by step instructions provided to them by the main man himself, and a process which though it had been danced by millions around the world, had never been officially documented. “He would come out and those were special nights,” says LaRotta of Bell joining the group at times. “Honestly, we've had a lot of fun nights but the nights where we got Archie to come out with us and he danced the tighten up with us on stage, that was very special.
It was a natural choice to reach back out to The Continental Club. “It always felt like the right place to do it,” says LaRotta. “They understood what we were doing from the get go. It was totally symbiotic.” The physicality of running these events cannot go unmentioned as they have to carry crates and crates of vinyl to fill the hours of entertainment inside and outside of the club as they have two DJ’s performing simultaneously in each space with no songs repeated.
