Norway's Turbonegro Will Relea
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NORWEGIAN PUNKS TURBO-CHARGE THE STATES ON LATEST TOUR
TURBONEGRO GEARS UP FOR RELEASE OF SCANDINAVIAN LEATHER IN STORES MAY 6 AND SHOOTS NEW VIDEO WITH SPIKE JONZE AND THE JACKASS CREW
In anticipation of their upcoming Epitaph release Scandinavian Leather (in stores May 6) Norway's hardest rocking and most homoerotic sextet Turbonegro recently wrapped up their first American tour in over four years, opening up for Queens Of The Stone Age and headlining sold out club dates in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York City. Combining pop, punk, goth, glam, metal, man-love and arena rock into one glorious stew, the Denim Demons of Turbonegro have triumphantly returned.
Critics on both coasts were wildly impressed with Turbonegro's reunion shows; LA Weekly raved, "Turbonegro could prove to be the last great real rock band - a band whose ideals are held together by stubbornness, singular vision, humor, a disregard for common sense and good taste, and the ability to musically kick major ass." Meanwhile the LA Times declared, "Turbonegro is designed to be the greatest band in the world.... loud and delirious, tasteless and refined... Turbonegro delivers," and the Miami New Times wrote, "The 2003 version of Turbonegro looks good enough to win the Breeder's Cup."
While on tour in the States, Turbonegro took time out to shoot the video for their apocalyptic anthem "Sell Your Body To The Night." Co-directed by Jeff Tremaine, the director of Jackass - The Movie and Spike Jonze, the video features special appearances by members of the Jackass crew who are long time fans of Turbonegro. Johnny Knoxville (who's been quoted saying, "Turbonegro is the best band in the world. Thatīs just the way it is") appears in the video, as does 'Wolfboy' Jesus 'Chuy' Aceves and an actual grizzly bear!
aruk_norway - 4/28/2003 4:09:53 PM Of course it says Turbonegro, that's the band's name... Allthough in Norway we call them Turboneger, but it means the same. I've got tickets to their concert in Trondheim 29.May, it's gonna be great! 7 years since I saw them live now, it was like a religious experience. Ah, the memories...
binwhored - 4/28/2003 4:06:45 PM I used to be into punk big time, but i;'ve never heard of Turbo Negro,lol, Jesse Jackson's gonna hit the fucking roof when he sees this
binwhored - 4/28/2003 4:03:00 PM Is it me? does that say Turbo Negro?????? Maybe it's me, maybe i'm fucked up or something. what the fuck is going on here?
aruk_norway - 4/28/2003 4:02:33 PM TRBNGR is the greatest band there ever was, and there ever will be! Apocalypse Dudes and Ass Cobra are two albums that'll never die.
Sixxisgod - 4/28/2003 11:40:54 AM Hell yeah dude. The King fucking rules. I tried going to his website a couple days ago and I couldnt get it to work. I wonder if he mentioned us yet?
SaintBastard - 4/28/2003 8:36:54 AM dday167 - I went to his site and took a listen to his music, sounded like a cross between joan jett and the ramones. LOL. I'm waiting on my cds to arrive now. mwahaha.. it still rocks that we got him to show up on that rant!
THE_WHANG - 4/27/2003 6:50:20 PM these guys suck dick...saw them live, and they blew very very hard
dday167 - 4/27/2003 6:18:31 PM Good point, brother Saintbastard!! Even though the King of all punk, Jeff Dahl, is buried in the archives... no other band should be near the same page as the KING and dare call themselves punk! How blasphemous! I've never even heard Dahl's music, but I know he's the king! hehehe
