Noisey presents a new video from Kindness and Trouble Funk called "That's Alright". Brit, Adam Bainbridge – AKA Kindness, AKA the long-haired white guy being awk at the back of the stage in the video above – spoke to Noisey to explain how "That's Alright" came to be:"'That's Alright' is almost entirely based upon samples from the Trouble Funk song "Still Smokin". Trouble Funk are a go-go group from Washington DC, who have existed in one form or another since 1978…
"In clearing a sample for use in a song, you have to send a copy to the original writers for approval and publishing clearance. So I knew that Trouble Funk ought to have heard the song already. For that reason I thought we might try and take things a step further. Would the band perhaps be interested in performing the new version of their song for the video? And could they find me something to do?
"The first time we got up together on stage was shortly before the doors opened at the U Street Music Hall, in the heart of Washington, a short stroll from the White House… please enjoy "That's Alright", as performed by the band that inspired it, with a slightly overwhelmed Brit at the back of the stage."Playing with Trouble will remain one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of my life."
Kindness and founding members of Trouble Funk, Big Tony and Tee Bone, are in the process of putting together a documentary to accompany this video.
