:: TURBO STOPS AT THE EPICENTER!

October 1, 2003 will see the Turbonegro in the deathprince's helvete, Phoenix, Arizona. This is history in the making. Phoenix is the nerve center of the TJUSA and is naturally overcome with emotion that the 6 wisemen of the north will visit. All that is dark in the western hemisphere originates here!

I call upon all Turbojugend in the United States to make the trek for this monumental event and ye shall be welcome into my home. Darkness resides here I assure you...

more US tour dates!

:: SCORPION STUDIO TATTOO!

I got my Turbojugend tattoo yesterday, Turbojugend Austin, USA. Any Jugends traveling to Houston Texas are urged to stop by and check them out. They do great work. What better place to get your ink than one that has true blue Turbonegro fans. It's just flesh.

:: BENEFIT FESTIVAL FC ST. PAULI!

:: Hello,

you may have heard that FC St. Pauli football club (the one with skull & crossbones logo) is still in financial troubles. Although there have been countless efforts and actions (75.000 benefit-shirts are sold for instance) to raise money the club still is in need for further funds.

Being the final effort for this summer there will be a big festival at the Millerntor Stadium at the 30th of august from 14:00 to 22:30.

Participating bands are:
Turbonegro, Bates, RubberSlime (feat. original Slime members), Justin Sullivan & friends (with 3 members of New Model Army), Kettcar, Tomte, Abacaxi (Samba!), Das Komitee fŸr Unterhaltungskunst (Rio Reiser songs), Der Junge mit der Gitarre, Jeremy Days, Rantanplan, Fehlfarben, Fink, Punkles and Lollipops (child choir of St.Michaelis-Community)

It may be of interest that three bands - Jeremy Days, Bates and RubberSlime - mainly got back together for this festival and for FC St. Pauli.

Tickets for 30 Euro will be available starting at the 9th of july through regional ticket shops or via this homepage:
www.karsten-jahnke.de

Thanks,
El Presidente
Turbojugend St. Pauli

:: WIN ORIGINAL TURBO ART!

:: From West Hollywood poster artist Brian Ewing:

I ended up doing the artwork for the TURBONEGRO poster twice. I'm weird like that. If I don't feel that the piece is working, I'll redo it until it does. So now I have two (count 'em TWO) pieces of art for the same poster.

I'm giving away the original art (11" x 17") of the first version to a RANDOM lucky stiff that orders any poster(s) from my site between 5/15/03 and 6/22/03. It's that simple..

www.brian-ewing.com



:: Additional info:

This show was so damned great! It's funny how people took the gay sailor thing so seriously. TNegro's fans are worldwide..it's scary, they're like Masons.

The band loved the poster and even signed a few for me. That totally made my night.

This poster is going faster than I had expected. Not that I'm complaining.

* Limited to 300 signed and numbered prints, 18"x24" offset, and weighs in on a 100# card stock.

:: PAUSE FOR THE CAUSE!

:: FC St. Pauli football club (the one with skull & crossbones logo) is in deep financial troubles. Although there are already huge benefitial efforts the club still is in need for any funds.

Turbonegro are closely related to St. Pauli in general ("our second home") and agreed to help out with various things.

As a start we are going to put three titles on e-bay:

a) Two limited Scandinavian Leather Box Deluxe sets autographed by the complete band. #1910/2000 and #666/2000

b) an original red FC St. Pauli player jersey with Hank van Helvete lettering on the back and his signature on it.

More interesting things will follow!
