Cant Catch Me Hey SIA, here's my best description of go-go, plus reviews of those two Trouble Funk albums.

Go-go is a style of music unique to Washington, D.C., where it’s immensely popular among the city’s residents, a vast majority of whom are black. It’s highly repetitive and rhythmic, featuring immense percussion sections, and large horn sections as well, playing very tight arrangements behind a vocalist. While some of it is recorded in the studio, it really is best live, played in raucous go-go clubs where large, enthusiastic audience dance all night long. In D.C., it’s a big form of entertainment, and there are stores and street vendors that sell live go-go tapes from all the shows. For a while, at the height of the “Dodge City”-crack cocaine era in D.C. there were many shootings associated with go-go, mostly outside of the clubs where various drug gangs sparred with each other. It’s very audience oriented, in fact, featuring a lot of call and response with the crowd and band acknowledgement of all the various crews and individuals present, i.e. “so and so is in the house,” etc. Of all the go-go bands, Chuck Brown had a near-national hit with “Bustin’ Loose,” as did Experience Unlimited with its “Da Butt,” but otherwise it’s been restricted to D.C. Because I don’t want to get my white ass shot off I’ve only seen one go-go show, a double bill in perhaps 1985 or 1986 with Nina Hagen (!!!) at the Warner Theatre in Washington, a surprisingly swank theatre that’s also where the Stones played here on the 1978 tour.

Here are reviews from AMG of the two Trouble Funk albums I mentioned (and which I’m still listening to right now).

Trouble Funk – Live
There are no actual songs contained on Trouble Funk's Live; there are four near-15-minute jams, but they prove to be just as magical and rewarding as their compact songs (for Trouble Funk's more accessible tunes, check out the Early Singles compilation on Infinite Zero). Although the band never caught on nationally, for reasons unknown, they were huge in the Washington, D.C. area. And like other funk specialists (Graham Central Station, Funkadelic, etc.), Trouble Funk songs were infectious rave-ups that instantly created a party-like atmosphere. The group could really stretch out in concert, and although it may sound like a cliché, Live is the closest you can come to the Trouble Funk concert experience without actually attending one of their shows. Each of the four album sides twist, turn, bounce, groove, and breathe. There's lots of crowd chanting (done amazingly on cue), superb drumming/percussion (courtesy of Timothy David, Mack Carey, and Emmett Nixon), and rubbery synthesized sounds. The energy never dips, and the group is constantly inspired and at their peak. Also included are interesting liner notes from an unlikely Trouble Funk fanatic, Henry Rollins.

Trouble Funk – Early Singles
While Chuck Brown & the Soul Searchers were longer lived and E.U. scored the biggest national hit, Trouble Funk was the best and most interesting group to come out of the Washington, D.C., go-go scene, and its relentless pursuit of the good groove, propelled by buoyant horn charts, P-Funk-inspired keyboard lines, and tireless percussion jams, was a potent and satisfying reminder in the dying days of the disco era of just how joyous, muscular, and human good dance music could sound. This compilation (released by former D.C. resident and longtime fan Henry Rollins — yep, that Henry Rollins) features eight cuts from the band's early, self-released 12" singles, where Trouble Funk could stretch out its tracks to eight to ten minutes without outside influences urging the band to shoot for something more commercial or radio-friendly; this is go-go with enough grease for purists and enough groove to win converts, including the epochal "Supergrit," "So Early in the Morning," and an idiosyncratic reworking of Kraftwerk's "Trans Europe Express." A valuable archival release that will also give you enough fuel to set the dancefloor burning all night long.

Saint Sway Rich Robinson - "Paper" - no surprise - this is my favorite record of the year. Best rock record I've heard in a long time. Definately the most rockin stuff to come out of the Crowes camp in awhile. Check it out for yourself - stones fans will dig it. www.richrobinson.net

Steve Earle - "The Revolution Starts Now" - hes one of my favs. I think of him as a countrytonk Keef. I'm not big on political records - fact I usually run from them - but this record is so good that I'm able to get past his political messages

Drive By Truckers - "Dirty South" - If you like Steve Earle, you'll like these guys. Hard rockin country rock. I just picked this up a few days ago and it rocks.

I'm also really digging Kings of Leon, Jet and My Morning Jacket

Water Dragon After a sweltering day filled with misery, I'm sipping from the well of Otis Redding, a self-made compilation. Very cooling and smoothing!

BTW, I noted earlier the mention of Henry Rollins: He played sax w/Root Boy's Sex Change Band, first incarnation.

Nasty Habits Just played Dolly Parton's "Puppy Love", that she recorded for Goldband when she was like 15.

Can't get over the sheer genius of the Faces box set. That version of Gettin' Hungry is incredible and Bad 'n' Ruin is the #1 rock and roll track at casa de Nastay at the moment.

One we understand
There where neon bends in daylight sky
In that sunny room she soothes me
Cools me with her fan
We're drifting
A thousand years roll by ................

Her brother he's burning with rage

I'd like to know what's on his mind
He says hey buddy you're not my kind

And joy is complete
