艺人介绍

Trouble Funk is an American R&B and funk band from Washington, DC. It helped to popularize that area's local funk subgenre known as go-go. Among the band's well-known songs are the go-go anthem &Hey, Fellas.& They released several studio albums including Drop the Bomb, In Times of Trouble, Live, and Trouble Over Here, Trouble Over There (UK #54), and two live albums, Trouble Funk - Straight Up Go-Go Style and Saturday Night Live. In 1982, they released a single &So Early In The Morning& on D.E.T.T Records, later reissued on diverse labels as 2.13.61 & Tuff City. Trouble Funk sometimes shared the stage with hardcore punk bands of the day such as Minor Threat and the Big Boys.

Its song &Pump Me Up& was sampled by many other artists and was featured in the film Style Wars and the fictional R&B radio station Wild Style in the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

&Pump Me Up& was sampled in Dimple D's one-hit wonder &Sucker DJ,& which went to #1 in Australia.

Keyboard player Robert &Syke Dyke& Reed died at the age of 50 on April 13, 2008, from pancreatic cancer.

Trouble Funk continues to remain a figure on the Washington, DC, area live-music scene.
