:: LEADERSHIP OF RUNE GRØNN!

In a recent article by Ante-Kristian Duun for bransjenytt.org the claims of several of the band's previous road crew are brought to light. It seems over the past 3 years as many as 16 crew members have quit or have been fired. Many of which say that its because of Rune Grønn's leadership.

"The earlier crew-members say that Rune Grønn and Pål Bøttger Kjærnes have been having sudden one on one meetings with the crew-members to test their personality and cross examination".

Christian Cook: "I don't feel appreciated here. They make me work almost all the time, and that's not what I'm best at!"

If you've worked out the kinks in your understanding of the Norwegian language then have a look for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

Hello

Our beloved friend and Jugend Role model "Max Power" from "Turbojugend Årdal" has been nominated for the Norwegian award show "Alarm Awards"! On the concert December 9 in Oslo he will probably be joined by a camera crew from Norway's biggest television channel, and it will give us lots of attention, and hatred from parents that will fear the new plague: Homosexuality! The award he has been nominated for is: "Blood fan of the Year" - Most dedicated fan!

Anyway I think it's important that every jugend in the whole wide world get's the possibility to vote for our dear friend! So I think this message should go to every jugend chapter in the world!

How to vote: Go to this address: http://www.alarmprisen.no/06/?page_id=70 there's a box and over the box there's a text saying: "ÅRETS BLODFAN" (Bloodfan of the year), in the box there's a list of three names, and make no mistake, the only name you can vote on is "Raymond Lokken (25), blodfan av Turboneger", so after you have chosen that name press the gray button saying: STEM! That means vote in Norwegian... You can only Vote once so make it right, okey!

:: IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CLOTHS!

The Hives frontman 'Howlin' Pelle Almqvist insists the band cannot perform properly without their trademark smart suits.

Almqvist insists that his band will never play in anything but their favoured retro-fit suits, since seeing Norwegian band Turbonegro perform badly in casual clothes.

He says, "I think it would affect the way we played."

"We played a show with Turbonegro during the summer and all their luggage had been lost at the airport."

"They played in their normal clothes and I believe the power of their performance was greatly diminished."

:: TURBOJUGEND MIDDLETOWN BRIEF!

A description of Turbonegro's show in Baltimore, MD. 10/07/05

- Turbonegro introduced a 7th "member" - a midget dressed like Hank! Hey came out several times during the show, in Hank gear and in a black jump suit with a "Party Animals" helmet.

- Played two encores. During the break they changed from their new outfits back to all denim.

- They did some line dancing after the show to the outro music on Party Animals

- Shot out confetti and fake money with Turbonegro members on it instead of presidents (the money was during Sell Your Body to the Night I believe).

- Hank gave the crowd a lesson in Norwegian on how to say "Motherfucker" and "Don't say motherfucker, motherfucker". He said that be a base for us to build on.

- Hank said Turbonegro will hit the US like Katrina. (After making fun of us for letting "a little rain turn you into a third world country")

- Hank said they're back cause they have a new album and we're the greatest country.

Here is the set-list NOT in order. I might forget a song or two:

-All My Friends Are Dead
-Deathtime
-Back To Dungaree High
-Denim Demon
-Age of Pamparius
-Prince of the Rodeo
-Sailor Man
-Wasted Again
-City of Satan
-Blow Like The Wind
-High On The Crime
-Fuck The World
-Sell Your Body to the Night
-Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker
-I Got Erection
-Get It On
-Ride With Us (with a mix of locked down it - added the "When Everybody Hates You" bit in the middle, had the midget hold a sign that says "When Everybody Hates You" written in tape)

:: RIDER ISSUES!

It seems the folks at Ottamartnan were 'refusing' some of the clauses contained in Turbonegro's rider. Rune speaks with Norwegian paper Dagbladet and tells what it really goin' on in da hood! There's also a really nice picture of 'Hanky Our Hero'!

In Norwegian of course:

:: ROYAL SWEDISH SEX!

Hank's unmatched stage wit has gotten the boys in a bit of hot water with Sweden's Royal Family.

The story goes:

"...well the case is, Hank told a sex story on stage in Stockholm. He tells the audience that Euroboy and Happy Tom has a theatre in Oslo, and that one day, it was a family that wanted to work for them. They had an "audition" with incest and when Euroboy and Happy Tom (as some sort of "idol judges") asked about their name, they answered "the Swedish Royal Family". The Swedish Royal Family lets their lawyers handle the case. Turbonegro say's they won't stop, and that they are going to do the same to the Norwegian Royalties, as soon as they have a concert in Oslo!"

:: HOW TO ROCK-N-ROLL!

It would appear that one John-Michael Bond (go figure) has it out for Norway's favorite sons. In a recent review of 'Party Animals' Mr. Bond gives a less than favorable ("Almost every song on Party Animals sounds like it was dumbed down to insure another guest spot on Viva La Bam.") opinion of the boys' latest release. And now just over two weeks later in reviewing another act JMB takes another swipe at Turbonegro. Perhaps his manly name and puny beret got him turn away at the door all the while crying 'I'm on the guest list! I'm on the guest list!'

In any event enjoy:

:: PARTY ANIMALS LISTENING PARTY!

Hey everyone,

One week from tonight we will be holding the official boston listening party for Turbonegro's newest album: PARTY ANIMALS. There will also be live music by the Midnight Creeps (Providence) and Rock N Roll Soldiers (Portland). In addition to the listening party our good friend Mark V will be spinning all sorts of rock and roll for us to party to.

Even if you have already heard this album it would still be awesome if you came out and showed your support for the band and the jugend. There will be a pre-party session (aka drinking beer and eating pizza) at my house before the listening party. For more info, drop me a line: antimanifesto101@yahoo.com

HOPE TO SEE YOU FUCKERS THERE!!!

Darkness forever,

Captain Max
Turbojugend Boston

:: TURBOJUGEND NOVI SAD!

The gang over at Turbojugend Novi Sad also double as the rock outfit 'Radio London'. During a recent break from tearing up the Serbian underground our dark brethren shot a video for the classic Dudes track 'Good Head'. The result my friends is raw brilliance deserving of a slot in the top five greatest Negro covers of all time - guaranteed!

Watch the video: http://www.komandantadam.com/rockalive.htm

1. Turbonegro & Turbojugend News

a) 'Party Animals' release date for North America!
Abacus (Century Media) will release the album on August, 23rd. There's a couple of plans to organize 'Party Animals' parties with several American Jugends. More details to be announced soon but feel free to check the worldwide TJ forum as well. These parties will be organized by the label, not by us!

b) Football match: Iron Maiden VS. Allstars (incl. Hank von Helvete)
This week Iron Maiden play two shows in Oslo. During their stay in the Norwegian capitol they organized a friendly football match against a Norwegian allstar-team. This team included Hank von Helvete, some other national musicians, skijumpers and ex-soccer players. Iron Maiden lost 8:1 against the Allstars.
