The Trammps, based in Philadelphia are remembered as a disco band. Often seen as part of the disco overground, most likely a result of ‘Disco Inferno’ being included on the massively popular Saturday Night Fever soundtrack in 1977.
In the same year the Trammps released the song ‘The Night the Lights Went Out’ to commemorate the electrical blackout that affected New York on 13 July 1977. This song was housed-up by the Black Science Orchestra, as the basis for their debut single ‘Where Were You’ released on Junior Boy’s Own.
Prior to their disco fame the Trammps released Rubber Band as a single in 1973 on Buddah a real soul gem that has featured on more than one occassion in modern hip-hop.
It was sampled as the basis for the Game’s release ‘Hate It Or Love It’ getting re-worked & chopped-up by the legendary production team of Cool & Dr.Dre. J Dilla (rip) used it for ‘Dilla Says Go’ from Donuts.
Yet another re-working here we have the editions disco edit of rubber band. a real fave at love unlimited towers.
