FOR FASTER UPDATES: In Girl Trouble's World it's better to check our MYSPACE site for SHOW DATES and late breaking info. You don't have to join up to look at the home page but you do have to join up if you want some "hunky guy" from Peru to tell you that he's just a lonely guy, likes "hot" older women and wonders if you'd be willing to launder some money for him. Oh yeah, and he has some connection to royalty in his homeland. Come on! Join the fun! |

Girl Trouble - Est. 1984 Greetings Earthlings and welcome to our high tech world of the future. We are the low-tech rock and roll band Girl Trouble. Our idea of an adventure in modern technology is to turn on the TV and change the channel to Streets of San Francisco re-runs using a remote control. So why would dorks like us be having one of these web/home page deals? Because somebody told us it was a good idea and we pretty much do anything that somebody tells us. Feel free to enter our world...Thank-you. |

It's hard to believe the area that was responsible for the biggest Do-It-Yourself band/label/club revolution in the US is facing many "pay-to-play" schemes. Sadly, it's true. We've recently witnessed several big pay-to-play rackets and gimicky losing Pay-To-Play "Battle of the Bands" contests cropping up in our area, and indeed all over the U.S. For all infomation on pay-to-play (including all the specific companies) please see this new website |
BIGTIME ENTERTAINMENT (Now called Afton) |
The company that "trolls" for bands on Myspace and then cons them into playing local clubs through their official "booking agency", when in reality they rent crappy nights and trick bands into selling their expensive tickets. THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH BIGG TIME ENTERTAINMENT, INC (Los Angeles). Big Time Entertainment has changed their name to Afton. |
| The hot national "Battle of the Bands" ticket selling operation run by the biggest on-line gaming billionare in the world. Win a million dollar contract with a guy who has to work outside of the U.S. so the Feds can't touch him. | |
| The Grand-daddy of them all, a Battle of the Bands Festival that's been running in Europe for 13 years and has just started wreaking havoc in the U.S. | |
| There are so many pay-to-play scenerios we had to combine them into one big Miscellaeous page! We've broken them down into two catagories. Check this page to see if the one that spammed you comes up! |

FEEL FREE TO JOIN US! On June 26, 2007 Myspace deleted our anti-pay-to-play site BigTime RipOff (http://www.myspace.com/bigtimeripoff) This will not stop us. We've made a new site called "Stay Away From Pay To Play". Luckily we were able to reasemble our 500 "BigTime RipOff" friends. The friends, general info and comments will be on myspace, the hard hitting research/opinion will be on this website. If you hate paying-to-play as much as we do, request our friendship. It's going to take all of us to get the word out. UPDATE 11/09: Then Myspace also deleted our Stay Away from Pay-to-Play Site. Over 4100 friends on that one. We are starting that over too.

Independent film company, Pyschic Playtime is owned by Isaac Olsen and K.P. Kendall. They are finishing their first feature-length movie, Quiet Shoes. Starring Dale Phillips, this is the story of down on his luck detective Rick Savage and his exciting adventures. GET UPDATES ON MYSPACE "So tiptoe into danger down dark alleyways, seedy waterfronts and a deserted farmhouse and be as quiet as possible, for if Rick isn’t careful, it could be a toe-tag he’s sporting rather than those sleek new shoes he spotted at the beginning of our film..." |

the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle, 2004. Check out the full story and mega photos
commemorating Girl Trouble's 20 years in the entertainment industry! |

Freddie
and the Dreamers: Anyone
connected with this website has followed the entries of "Dreamer
of the Month" and instructions on how to do "The Freddie".
Girl Trouble salutes one of the most exciting British Invasion Bands ever
to grace our shores. |
|
Swedish
Dansbands: Formerly located on the second "Don't
Touch" button, the information supplied by Karl Zwick and Stefan
Ahlstrom (who actually saw some of these bands) was just too cool not
to share with the world! See the most fantastic band outfits ever created! |

7
Wonders of Tacoma and Beyond: Over the years we've reported on
many of the happenings of Tacoma Landmarks. Even though the crappy Tacoma
paper changed all the news we were linked to, we will attempt to keep
you up-to-date on what's hot and what's not. |
|
Read
All About It: Need to read even more about Girl Trouble? Are you
kidding? This page will take you to links and/or reviews that you might
find entertaining. These links are beyond our control but we'll try to
keep them as current as possible. |

Psychic Playtime formerly ISAMAR: If you enjoyed the Partial Impact II, The Mutation trailer
you are sure to find this page fascinating. Brilliant film maker Isaac
Olsen let's you in on his latest projects. He and KP Kendall are working on something special. Keep checking back. |
|
The
Freakouts: The only Tacoma band worth linking to (and they are
related!) is 14 years old...and we are talking about their individual
ages! They change their website more than anyone we've ever seen so check
it often and ask for a demo (it rocks!). |
WOW, THANKS NEKO! Girl Trouble wants to give a big shout-out to our long time, T-town pal (and former GT go-go girl) Neko Case for the awesome comments she made in the recent issue of HARP Magazine (Beck's on the cover). When Neko was asked to name musical acts that influenced her, Girl Trouble made the list of three (including legends Bessie Griffin and Her Gospel Pearls and the Flat Duo Jets). As you may know Neko's career is taking off like a rocket and we couldn't be happier...to ride her coattails to stardom! All kidding aside we are thrilled that everybody is finally figuring out what we knew all along...Neko is one rockin' chick! We recently saw her sold-out show in Seattle and she blew us and everybody away. It was a great night but also made us miss those days of hanging out in Kahuna's basement watching videos and dancing to the "Theme from Shaft". Oh the stories we could tell! To Girl Trouble, Neko will always be part of the family! Check out Neko's website and do yourself a favor and catch her show when she comes to your town. |
THESE PEOPLE WANT FRIENDS... |
THESE PEOPLE DON'T... |
Who says Girl Trouble doesn't keep up with the latest techno crap that all the youngsters are diggin'? Go to MySpace and see the new site that our own Winston Barlow rigged up. Wanna be Girl Trouble's friend? |
And while we are on the subject: Who are these four sinister looking weirdoes? Apparently they DON'T want to play nice and they only want each other as friends! |
Check out the guy in the middle of the photo with the white helmet. TACOMA IS STILL NUMBER ONE!
