Staying true to themselves and staying put, Girl Trouble have been inspiring Northwest audiences to shake what their mamas gave ‘em for 30 years, and anyone who’s caught one of their shows (including a great many in Olympia and here at the Capitol Theater) will attest to how electrifying they are live. The lifelong project of siblings Bon and Bill Henderson and their longtime friends Dale Phillips and Kurt Kendall, Girl Trouble is arguably the best thing to come out of Tacoma since The Sonics— take some hotrod and biker culture, beach party and surf music, and gritty garage band rock ‘n’ roll, put it through the unique filter of four truly original personalities, and go go a-go-go! Strictly Sacred is an intimate (director Olsen is the Hendersons’ nephew) look into the band’s past and present, complete with tons of clips from a surprisingly well-documented history, both live performance and behind the scenes. The first band to quit Sub Pop, Girl Trouble never compromised or sold out, and today remain total DIY role models. Featuring interviews with Calvin Johnson, Neko Case (a former Girl Trouble go-go dancer), and Granny Go- Go, Strictly Sacred is a tribute to a band that has lived life on its own terms.
