Girl Trouble

Girl Trouble were the band that bridged the gap between the Pacific Northwest sound of the '60s (the high-energy garage rock attack of the Sonics, the Wailers, and Paul Revere & the Raiders) and the grunge scene of the '80s and '90s, playing wild rock & roll that was influenced by the past but embraced the snot, energy, and attitude of punk and its offshoots. Girl Trouble became a presence on the Pacific Northwest scene, known for their tough but high-spirited sound as well as their insistence on giving their fans a show -- featuring go-go dancers on-stage, giving out prizes, staging themed shows, anything to add a new element of fun and excitement to their gigs. ~ Mark Deming
