Trouble Funk Concert History

Trouble Funk was an influential and successful Go-go band from Washington DC whose peak began in the late 1970's and ran through the late 1980's. They helped to popularize the Washington, D.C. dance floor friendly funk subgenre go-go, which incorporated heavy african drum rhythms, and celebratory stage concepts from forerunners like George Clinton's Parliament-Funkadelic and local rival Chuck Brown. Among their well-known songs are the 'go-go' anthems 'Hey Fellas', 'Pump Me Up', 'Let's Get Small', 'Drop The Bomb'.
