"Family," "cult," "gang," and "garage band" are just a sampling of the labels applied to Girl Trouble. Hailing from the depressed city of Tacoma, Wash., the band developed a unique brand of infectious garage dance music that it soon exported to Olympia, Seattle, and the surrounding territories. The band -- Bon Von Wheelie (drums), the Big Kahuna (guitar), Dale Phillips (bass), and K.P. Kendall (vocals) -- were signed over the years by labels such as K Records, Sub Pop, Pop Llama, Empty, and Estrus, but the group staunchly maintained its independence. That stubborn streak has kept the band primarily a local phenomenon -- they proudly trumpet that the group has "eluded fame since 1984" -- but "Strictly Sacred" gives Girl Trouble a chance at wider exposure, providing an intensely personal account of the legendary group's 30 years in the Northwest music scene. Featuring rare performances, home movies, and probing interviews with Calvin Johnson, Neko Case (a former Girl Trouble dancer), and former St. Louisan Art Chantry, "Strictly Sacred" is unfiltered Girl Trouble, up close and personal.
