Hometown Sounds

Tonight’s sold out birthday celebration for Trouble Funk‘s leader Big Tony at the 9:30 Club brings back the punk/funk double features of the past with hosting duties for Dave Grohl and one or two surprises. Get warmed up for the show with the music video for Trouble Funk’s first studio recording in many years, “Hump Day”, premiered a few months ago by the Washington CityPaper.

British disco/R&B producer Adam Bainbridge, aka Kindness, showed his appreciation for the DC Go-Go sound on his recent release World, You Need A Change Of Mind by remixing Trouble Funk‘s song Still Smokin’ into his track That’s Alright. Taking the tribute even further, last month Kindness joined Trouble Funk on the stage of U Street Music Hall to shoot a video of the collaboration. It looks like a crowd-pleasing performance from the kings of Go-Go.
