Girl Trouble is a foundational force in Pacific Northwest garage-punk, formed in 1983 in Tacoma, Washington. With core members like Kurt P. Kendall, Bon Von Wheelie, Kahuna, and Dale Phillips, and former member David Duet, the band helped shape a distinct DIY ethos that still resonates today. Their early work with Sub Pop kicked off a wave of Northwest punk with a raw, catchy edge that fans celebrate decades later.
