Girl Trouble were formed in 1983 by three friends from Tacoma, Washington - drummer Bon Von Wheelie (real name Bon Henderson), guitarist Kahuna (aka Bill Henderson, Bon's brother), and bassist Dale Philips. When Kurt P. Kendall, born in Spokane but a then recent transplant to Tacoma, teamed up with Bon, Kahuna, and Dale on vocals and saxophone, Girl Trouble were born, and after jamming at a few parties, the band made its proper debut March 9, 1984 at a Battle of the Bands at Fort Steilacoom Community College. To their relief, Girl Trouble's set earned them second place, since first place would have meant they'd have to play another 45 minutes. Girl Trouble's debut album, 1988's "Hit It Or Quit It", isn't necessarily their best work, but it effectively laid out the plan of attack that the band would follow for the next couple decades: rough, echo-laden guitar work from Kahuna, simple but hard-hitting drumming by Bon Von Wheelie, subsonic bass work courtesy of Dale Philips, and attitudinal vocals from Kurt P. Kendall that split the difference between Gerry Roslie and Lux Interior. Fold in muscular tunes about cage dancing, alluring but dangerous gals, treacherous men of the cloth, biker gangs, new dance sensations, and all sorts of crazed good times, and you get "Hit It Or Quit It", a big slice of fuzzy rock action that shows you can have a lot of fun and still take rock & roll seriously. Along with some swingin' original tunes, "Hit It Or Quit It" includes a few well-chosen covers, and Girl Trouble strip Paul Revere & the Raiders' "Steppin' Out" to the frame while still staying true to its sneering nature, as well as turning George Jones' "White Lightning" into a hard-stomping rocker. Girl Trouble have made a bunch of great records over the years, but "Hit It Or Quit It" shows they knew what they could do right out of the box, and this music hasn't gone the least bit stale more than a quarter-century after the fact; just add beer and some room to groove, and this album will get your rock & roll party started. ┌────────┐ ────┤ Salute ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── └────────┘ r35 BERC NuHS GRAVEWISH FWYH
