MY HOMETOWN VIDEO - SCENES OF TACOMA, SCENES OF OLD SHOWS.
THE STORY OF GIRL TROUBLE...In 1964 Bon met Kahuna, her brother. Later, in 1983, Kahuna took up the guitar hed built in high school shop class. Bon bought a little drumset from the Sears surplus store. They began to play together in an old shed located next to their parents house. Kahuna played one string and Bon played pretty much as she does today. School friend, Dale Phillips, decided to come over and play his fake Fender bass. The new trio practiced for a few months until they decided it would be a lot easier on everyone if somebody else could sing. They looked through all the possibilities and noticed that K.P. Kendall was taking over as self-appointed Master of Ceremonies at every party they attended. This was exactly the frontman they needed to keep everybody entertained while Kahuna changed broken guitar strings.
TWENTY-THREE YEARS LATER...the same four people are Girl Trouble. After tons of releases on as many indie labels; shows in every punk dive in the Northwest; tours of the US, Canada and Europe; and publication of the fanzine Wig Out, their long climb on the stairway to stardom is not over yet...at least thats what they think! Meet them now or meet them later, eventually youll have to meet them. As Girl Trouble says, Our friends are on major labels. We are on medication. For more information, please stop by the official website listed here. Thank-you...
GIRL TROUBLE AND THE MOVIES...
............
EXCRUCIATING EYEBALL: This was our own Kahuna's contribution to the Tacoma Grand's 72 Hour Film Contest. They give all 32 teams one prop (a hat), one Tacoma location, one action (dropping, tossing) and one line of dialog ("What we've got here is a failure to communicate"). This was his first entry into the contest. Kahuna made this with the help of Sam Olsen (police officer in black) and Niels Wacht (German translation and voice-over)...
FOOLISH GAMES: Here's the 72 Hour Film Competition 2008 entry from Isaac Olsen and KP Kendall (with additional material by Kris and Ericka Kendall) starring Kris and Ericka Kendall, Stu Michaels, Dick Rossetti, Ryan Anderson and Gretchen Bailey. It won "audience favorite". Check out the all-star zombie cast!
8-5-08: We lost our dear friend, Pat Bostwick, in August. Here Pat (left) hangs out with another Tacoma scenester, Kelly Mickelson. Pat was a great harmonica player, a great story teller and a greater friend. The "Commotion" song on this site is Girl Trouble and Pat on harmonica giving CCR our respect. All of Tacoma is gonna miss that guy! We love you, Pat... (photo from the Magoo's Annex myspace page)
We know it's over but it's still one of the coolest gigs we ever did. What a night! Our friend Jerry Clayworth made this poster! Is this cool or what? Be sure to check out all Jerry's posters. He's awesome! DAMN, THESE ARE GORGEOUS!!!!

Due to the high quality of the acts on tonight's bill the door cover will actually be $7, sorry for the typo in the flyer...it will totally be worth it!!!
Darrren guarantees this will be the best show at the Jive in the past couple years. Due to the high quality of the acts on the bill, the cover is actually $7.
Sorry I missed you guys on Halloween. I was dodging bullets up on Cap Hill. I hope we can do another show sometime in 2010. We also gotta finish that next (elusive) CD too.
