ROYAL BOX Keef Trouble

http://www.myspace.com/keeftrouble Trouble studied at The Slade School of Fine Art, London, from 1968 to 1972. He is a founding member of the still performing British country-blues band Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts[1] as vocalist, guitarist, and player of the Zobstick, (also known as the Lagerphone or Monkey stick,) and electric ironing board. Commercial success came in 1972 under the guise of Terry Dactyl and the Dinosaurs with Seaside Shuffle with fellow band members Graham Hine, John Randall, and Jona Lewie (of Stop the Cavalry notability). This record became a hit in Europe and Australia, and reached #2 in the UK Singles Chart. Trouble is also part of the folk rock band The Okee Dokee Band, writing much of its original material. This band plays throughout West Sussex and Kent, and is a regular feature at the Broadstairs Folk Week.[1] He has produced two albums of his own: Oasis and Kix 4 U, for Sun House Records. He has collaborated with Tony O'Malley [2], previously from the bands 10cc, Kokomo (band) and Arrival, recently writing the lyrics for O'Malley's Mr. Operator and Naked Flame. O'Malley has also contributed to Trouble's recordings, as have artists such as saxophonist Mel Collins, (Roxy Music, Rolling Stones, The Grease Band), guitarist Neil Hubbard, and vocalists Dyan Birch, Paddy McHugh, and Frank Collins. In 2008 Trouble produced the Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts' album Keep on Moving. Co-producer and audio engineer of Keep on Moving was Pete Ker, another long-standing associate of Trouble, who produced The Motors, Man, and Arthur Brown (musician), co-writing Brown's Fire.
