Girl Trouble is a garage rock band formed in 1983, composed of three musicians from Tacoma, Washington and one from Spokane, Washington.
History
[edit]The band played their first show in 1984, and signed to Olympia's K Records label soon afterwards, on which they released two singles ("Riverbed" and "Old Time Religion") in 1987. One of their recordings, "Gonna Find A Cave" written by Jimmy Radcliffe and Buddy Scott, made an appearance on the Sub Pop 200 compilation alongside tracks by Nirvana and Soundgarden. Various albums followed on different independent labels. As a side project, guitarist Kahuna plays in a Sonics tribute band called New Original Sonic Sound, featuring members of Mudhoney and the Young Fresh Fellows.
