MATT DRISCOLL: 25 YEARS OF BON, KURT, DALE AND KAHUNA >>>
Ah, gawd! Another Girl Trouble article? Another Girl Trouble anniversary? The regularity with which I’ve written stories such as this prove two undeniable facts.
Number one: Girl Trouble â€" the iconic, quirky, punk band that’s about as Tacoma as Tacoma gets â€" has left an indelible and important mark on this gritty city of ours. People have memories built around this band â€" even memories of things that never actually happened. (That goes out to you, guy who claims they’ve played Clapton’s “Cocaine.â€) Girl Trouble represents an innocent part of our past and a resilient and rough knuckled part of our fabric as a town. In more ways than one, Girl Trouble IS Tacoma.
Number two: I’m getting fucking old and the years are going by too fucking fast.
But it’s true. Tonight Girl Trouble â€" that is, mouthpiece and shirtless man candy Kurt Kendall, the guitarist known as Kahuna, bassist Dale Phillips and the band’s glue, drummer Bon Von Wheelie â€" will be celebrating 25 years of action at the New Frontier Lounge.
