:: LOS SUAVES NEGROES!
Despotz Records has released some interesting Turbonegro Tribute compilations. The klicktrack web site describes it this way:
"The Los Suaves Negroes compilation series is for everyone who likes their sex, drugs and rock n roll packaged together with some violence and kitsch in a soft lounge-environment. The tribute album will consist
of bossa & lounge tribute compilations to Turbonegro. We honor their great works of art by taking it from the dirty alleys into the cocktail lounges and the designed apartments. This is for all of you out there who
likes the work of Nouvelle Vague with their bossa versions of old punk and new wave classics, two cute girls singing "falling down the stairs, to drunk to fuck". That's the feeling we want to capture and highlight."
Out of the 18 artists featured on the latest comp there's not one I've heard of except for New Moscow (solo project by David Fransson from Division of Laura Lee). I'm not sure what all that means if anything at all. But
one this thing is for sure, the Los Suaves Negroes series will make a fine addition to any negro fans collection.

:: RUNE REBELLION DEPARTS!
The rumors are true. Turbonegro's original rhythm guitarist Rune 'Rebellion' Grønn has left the band.
Rune says he "... played his last show on Saturday and that the band will do the upcoming Euro-tour in November/December
as a 5 piece. Pål Pot (is) stepping up on rhythm guitar." As for the reason for his departure Rebellion
says, "Between touring, Turbo management and day job at Universal, there's not enough time for me to even get wasted anymore.
Let alone spend time with my wife and daughter."
The split was dramaless as everyone understood and respected his decision. Grønn maybe absent from the negro line-up but says,
"I will be involved in the Turbo organization in the future."
We wish him the best of luck in all his endeavors because, fuck let's face it... Rune Rules!!!
Press release @ www.turbonegro.com
:: WALL OF SOUND?!
There's some that say Rune's exit will not change Turbonegro's sound, but I couldn't disagree more.
Let's think about this. You have three guitarist on stage: 1 rhythm, 1 part time rhythm (Pål splits his time between the keys and the git) and 1 lead.
These three vital elements generate of wall of sound that in part has earned them the title of 'the best live band in the world'. This wall is 75% rhythm guitars.
THe fuck it ain't! Now, subtract the mechanized strumming of one Rune Rebellion and what do you have? Exactly.
I'll properly break this down in an upcoming article on why I'm right and they're wrong!

On November five of year two thousand seven Scandinavian Leather Recordings will unleash the newly 'expanded & remastered'

Now I know what you're thinking 'just another repackaging of stuff you already have', right? Well dig this.
Each of the five records are being put out with rare or alt. bonus tracks ensuring that collectors and noobs alike will be
overjoyed come d-day.
And if you happen to be said noob Tommy Seltzer recaps:
On :
Apocalypse Dudes, man. Fucken APOCALYPSE DUDES, man. That's all I can say.
On :
Without doubt one of the meanest punk rock albums ever released, at least pegged so by Steve Albini, this dude with glasses.
Post-teen nihilism at it's scariest, but in a sexy way. Our first denim record, and how!
On :
We recorded this basically as a big FUCK YOU to the lo-fi aesthetics that ruled the planet in 1993/94. We tried to make a
2.000 dollar record sound like a million bucks, and succeeded, as always. Through the haze of beer bottle-doubling-as-ashtray
fumes and amyl nitrate it comes your way on a unicorn, beautifully.
On :
Sounds like Slayer performed by a bunch of very irritable and not very talented hash smokers. Which was what it was, basically.
A climaxing fountain on the town square of the world's most negative city.

PETE DOHERTY has been slammed by a reformed drug addict rocker EUROBOY, who has accuses the troubled singer of "disrespecting rock'n'roll".
The Norwegian singer managed to kick his addictions and insists Doherty should grow up and learn to behave.
The Turbonegro frontman(sic) says, "Do you know who I hate? Pete Doherty. He's an asshole. Getting wasted and getting stoned,
trashing things, not showing up to gigs, not doing his job properly."
"Do you know what Pete Doherty does? He disrespects rock 'n' roll. I hate people who disrespect rock 'n' roll!"

:: CRIMEWAVE!
It was nearly four years ago to the day that Richard Lancaster (AKA Richie Crimewave), Vice President of
Turbojugend London and salesman at Shellshock passed away. Crimewave was as cool as they come. At the time of his passing
Thomas had this to say:
That's really, really sad. Richie was a super nice guy and a lifetime
lover of great music. It seemed to me that he was one of those people who
really had a grasp on what our band is all about. I have fond memories of
drinking with him in Nottingham when we played there recently, and it was
very depressing to hear about this.
Crimewave Forever!
Happy-Tom
Oddly enough while going through old e-mail recently I came across a few from Richard which only reminded me of what truly a great loss his death was.
The following is one of those e-mails:
From: Richard
To: suburban@turbojugendusa.com
Date: Monday, November 27, 2003 11:29 AM
Subject: Ride with us...
Hello suburbandeathprince,
Please use my email address on your rather fine website as a contact for now
thanks. Like I say London should have a website finished before Christmas.
Although only a select band of five the London Jugend are being rather selective
in it's recruitment policy due to the amount of Wildhearts fans wishing to join our number.
This is not so much a reflection of that band but the snot-nosed, dirty faced,
witless oiks who buy their records. Some in the camp believe we are being to severe,
but you know. Anyway, the next three inductees have been selected and soon we will number eight.
The current membership is:
Caesar Antonious (President)
Richie Crimewave (1st Vice President)
Demonique Veronique
Mr. Summers
Wass Cobra
Four of the London Jugend made the Boat trip in August while the other was caught
in a forest fire in Spain. As we were stood waiting for the boat to arrive we had
to wait with some rather swank rich folks who could not help but stare at the motley
crew assembled before them. Bored of waiting (the bands boat showed up half an hour
late) we posed for the non-believers and the boys (at the behest of the girls)
donned their make-up for the evening to a soundtrack of the Misfits and of course Turbonegro.
When the band eventually showed up the guys saluted us as they pulled up into dock,
Hank wearing his famous pirates hat and proudly brandishing his toy cutlass.
Soon we where off, down past the Houses Of Parliament and as far down as the
residential area of Chelsea as is safe to go where something happened unbeknownst
to us, but more of that later.
When Turbonegro took the stage everybody onboard rushed to one side of the boat
and we nearly got kicked off Sex Pistols style as the captain said we where making
the boat lean too much to one side. I have to admit we were leaning in quite a
precarious position. Some joker made the point that it was thirteenth to the day
of the worst Thames river boat disaster which claimed some 89 lives.
At this point the bands very skilful tour manager convinced the captain not to throw
us off and the band where allowed to finish the remainder of the set docked in the harbour.
Turbo Negro finished by 10.30 so we were stuck on the boat for another three and
half hours, with nothing to do but drink and hang out.
As the alcohol did flow so 'Demonique Veronique' revealed her true Gaulish nature
when she cornered a rather bemused Hank and berated her compatriots for being crap
and not having one Jugend in the whole of France. This conversation/diatribe was
punctuated with Veronique punching the hull of the ship. I have never seen a woman
drink as much beer, and as fast as she.
'Wass Cobra' only managed to fall into the drum kit twice, luckily Chris had finished
playing them by this point.
I was sexually assaulted by a rather large black lady (she made me grab her tits)
so a good night was had by all.
The next day we found out that Cher who now lives in the most exclusive part of
Chelsea overlooking the Thames made a noise complaint to the Thames water authority
about a particular boat playing loud rock music. Could she have meant us?
I have some amazing photos of the show which will be posted on the website.
Anyway, Hate The Kids
Richie Crimewave
Good Times, Richie!

:: ORGASM IN PROGRESS!
Well, the latest masterworks from Norway's favorite sons is going by the working title: 'Orgasm In Progress'.
A very befitting label seeing as this seems to be the state at which most of reside waiting in anticipation of Turbonegro's newest record.
And as of early January the first part of the reels were being mixed somewhere in the western United States. Austin, TX?
Look for a release date, hopefully, sometime in April ot 7.

:: SXSW '07!
Here's the latest from the Turbonegro blog by way of MySpace.com:
'Well, most of you know by now, Turbonegro are invading Texas in March to play their first gigs
of 2007 at SXSW in Austin. This will be your
first chance to hear the new tracks in full outside of Norway.
I can now confirm that Turbonegro will be headlining the legendary Austin punk rock venue Emo's on
the Saturday night!!! I'll confirm the supports next week and also send out details of any parties the
guys will be playing at as and when I get them.
This is gonna be the loudest, filthiest show at SXSW - I'm not sure if they know what they've let
themselves in for, but hey, that's cool!
It looks like festival wristbands for people living outside of Austin are going to be pretty hard
to get hold of now, as there was only a limited number and they sold out earlier this month. You can
still go to the event as a delegate, or if you're local, keep an eye on www.austinchronicle.com for
info on wristband sales in Feb. If you can't make it, don't worry, there will be loads of chances to
see the guys live later this year...'

For all German speaking people is the first issue of the official Turbojugend magazine available now! It contains
interviews with bands (e.g. Psychopunch (Sweden), etc.), TJ members, album reviews, live reviews and Dudi's monthly column.
We think this is an idea which should be supported by everyone!
To get more info click here: www.turbojugend-magazin.de
- Turbojugend Darlings:
Boozed and The Flaming Sideburns connive and release a split 7"! After both bands played this year's WTJT

One song of each band is unreleased and never heard before on record. This item is strictly limited to only 500 hand numbered copies and
will be sold out very soon. So if you want one, you have to be quick.
You can get it here: www.turbonegro.com
- New Year, New Prices:
We are really sorry that we have to announce that the German VAT will increase starting on January, 1st 2007. So we have to adjust our prices
to that. Use the chance and order before new year's eve. Every order which is done before that date, will have the old prices.

:: NICK OLIVERI JOINS TURBONERGO IN STUDIO!
Nick Oliveri (QOTSA, Mondo Generator) joins up with Turbonegro for their next studio album: 'Born To Run To A Certain Extent' - maybe...
"Nick took time off from touring with Mondo Generator to drop by the studio and lay down
some AWETHOME tracks with us last Sunday, one of them titled "Night Calls"; a song he was
originally commissioned to write as a theme song for Playboy Channel's tv show by the same name.
Hugh Hefner's eunuchs (i.e. the executives at the channel) hated the song, but we sure as HECK
don't! We plainly REFUSE to be castrated by someone who themselves have been castrated. Nick
has also written a song about us, a homage to Turbonegro, called "Turbonegro"!"

It would seem the Turbonegro is spreading deeper into American media that previously thought.
On the November 6th episode of CSI: Miami, titled "High Octane", "All My Friends Are Dead"
could be heard at the beginning of the episode! For those unfamiliar with this program it's a rather
big deal here in the states getting huge ratings. In addition morning radio funny man Adam Corolla ('The Man Show')
incorporates a few turbo songs into the sound clips used between the show and commercial breaks.
The Adam Corolla Show is by far the funniest thing to ever hit the airwaves.

:: FILM THREAT!
The new Norwegian survival horror flick 'Fritt Vilt' (translates to 'Fair Game') opens today and includes on its soundtrack Turbonegro, Big Bang, Bloodlights
(Capt. Poon's new outfit) and more...!
"It's midwinter. Five youngsters are heading for the Jotunheimen mountain area to go snowboarding. On the slope, one of them has a bad fall and breaks a leg.
There is no sign of any other people around, and their mobile phones are out of range. They catch sight of a mountain hotel in the distance, and decide to find
shelter there. The hotel lies empty and silent, obviously closed down years ago. The phone lines are dead, and the youngsters realize they have to spend the night
in the hotel. But it turns out they're not alone. In the basement they discover a filthy dungeon of a room, where somebody has recently lived. They find a pile of
polaroid photos, which by closer inspection prove to be very different from regular vacation photos... What follows is a battle of life and death, when Norway's
most notorious and determined serial killer plays cat and mouse with the youths. And while their number is diminishing, friendship and courage is put to the test
in this roller coaster ride of horror." - Todd

:: BORN TO MOTHERFUCKING RUN, OR NOT...!
The latest from HT on the long awaited follow up to 'Party Animals' as stated in his, h-hm.., Myspace blog:
"Back in the studio now, to keep recording basic tracks for another two weeks. It is going great and sounds fantastic just
listening to the drums on their own. So far we have been recording at Fagerborg Studio, a place with lots of Norwegian pop
history in the walls. After this two week spell we will probably continue at Crystal Canyon, then it's off to a country full
of fat people to mix. Knut is producing and him, Chris and I ("The Power Trio") are perfecting most of the songs as we speak.
This is BIG stuff, very catchy and in your face (ass), very Deathpunk. Some titles: "Boys From Nowhere" and "Bleed For Me (All Night Long)".
The working title for the record was for a while "Born To Motherfucking Run", but we dropped it after we received an anonymous phone call
from our lawyer. We have decided on a new title, which will be revealed at a later point. Studio duty kept us from going to the Turbojugend
Welt Tage, which we heard was a blast (despite the St Pauli loss against the Bavarians), thanks to all involved for making and keeping
Turbojugend magic."

:: TURBONEGRO DISCOGRAPHY!
The Turbonegro Discography is the brain child hatched a couple of years
ago by Martin Lucassen (the turbo-archive) and Mike Heffington (turbojugendusa.com). The two pulled together
resources with the goal of compiling the most complete and up to date Turbonegro catalog - anywhere! As one
could imagine this is has been no simple task. Basing the limited press counts of alt. and ltd. editions,
colored vinyl supplies, dates and times for varying releases on fact and not suggestion, has proven to be
time consuming and a patience builder. Given the many re releases and seemingly endless editions put forth
by SFTRI and new releases expected in the near future, this labor of love will continue to be a work in progress...
We hope you enjoy The Turbonegro Discography.

be in negotiations as well for the planned 20 date outing. There will be a number of after-parties

Let's hope this happens as the tour is set to kick off in Phoenix, AZ. USA on October 4th, 2006.
:: MTV...?
As mention here on May 17th Turbonegro are in the process of recording their new album. During a recent interview with the glorious
MTV Hank and Thomas revealed that 12 tracks have been layed down and the studio time continues. Christmas could be an exciting one this year...

:: UNION ROCK!
Our dear brother and president of Turbojugend Sandefjord (Norway), 'Fat Boy Rodeo',
reviews the recent Union Scene gig at Drammen, Norway:
"...I saw Turbo's show at Union in Drammen yesterday, and it was fucking
excellent!
The opening act sucked ass, but Turbo really delivered the goods.
One hour of deathpunk in front of 600 kids, and we all wanted more, of
course.
The newspaper in Drammen reviewed the show today, and gave it top score, as it deserved.
The set was a healthy (!!) mixture of stuff from their last four albums, but
nothing new. Since they are doing studio work these days, I was kinda hoping
to hear a new song or two. But I guess we'll hear it in good time.
Meanwhile, I'm just looking forward to the next show I'm lucky enough to
catch!"
Love,
Fredrik "Fat Boy Rodeo"

:: APOCALYPSE DUDES!
Turbonegro are to play Union Rock this Saturday, May 27th at Drammen, Norway.
It's been reported that some 'kids' going by the name 'Apocalypse Dudes' will be opening the show so get there early!!!
thanks to Simen!
.........................................................................................
:: TURBO HIT THE STUDIO!
Happy Tom delivers the news we've all been waiting for: "We've done a bunch
of demos, in all modesty: it out rocks any music I've ever heard, this record is gonna be insanely good."
Anticipation has never been so omnipresent.
The Norwegian heartthrobs known as Turbonegro entered the studio on May 8th, 2006
to begin recording a new album. Details to follow.
.........................................................................................
:: THE SAGA OF THE DENIM PEOPLE!
The latest, from Norway's newspaper giant Dagbladet, is that the music manager of NRK's
music radio station, Håkon Moslet, has been commissioned to write the official Turbonegro biography, with the
working title "Sagaen Om Denimfolket" (lit.: The Saga Of The Denim People). Moslet is
previously known to have given "Apocalypse Dudes" a 6 out of 6 review during his time as a music critic, and in 2005
"High On The Crime" was the most played hit at the P3 station.
According to the schedule, the book is due to be published by Gyldendal Publishing in autumn 2007.

* There is also a German gal currently working on a publication related to Turbonegro. Thankfully, though, she's
taking a different approach to it than that of a 'biography'. Uta Heuser says of it, "The focus of the book
now is on the special and interacting relationship, the synergy between Turbonegro and their fans in Turbojugend. So
there will be a part with the band history (mainly in the band's own words from the old interviews + some backgrounds),
and a part with the development, life and adventures of Turbojugend."
I look forward to them both.

:: 1000 KRONER FOR GUILTY BEER TOSSER!
It would appear that a crazed turbo fan traversed the pond to take care of some unfinished business, however this is not the case.
Our good friend and distant brother Sigurd 'Sir Sigarillo' Mjelve (Turbojugend Molde, Norway) explains it like this:
'...Saturday at Stord: on the height of the concert a fan threw a glass of beer on the stage and hit Euroboy in the face. The band
left the stage in protest, and contemplated weather or not to return on stage. They returned promptly how ever, but was this time hailed
with four or five more glasses of beer thrown on them, and left the stage for good, not doing any encores or signing any autographs.
They say that this is the price they pay for having the best fans in the world: some of them can get a bit too enthusiastic. Despite
Hank's promise to the audience that he would give one thousand kroner to those who fingered the guilty beer thrower, he was never found
amongst the some 300 participants.'

:: GRUM LEE!
The worlds most prolific cover artist 'Grum Lee' has completed the Turbonegro hit 'Don't Say Motherfucker, Motherfucker'.

:: TURBONEGRO PLAYS MOSS!
Hello, people.
I am sending this mail to people that I think might find this interesting.
According to our local newspaper "Moss Dagblad" today, 20.03.06 Turbonegro
will be playing at "Tivoli Amfi" in Moss Friday 21, April.
Tivoli amfi is originally an old cinema, and I guess it will be a great
opportunity to see Turbonegro in a smaller and more intimate arena.
Bee there!
-Mastermind-
(President of Turbojugend Akershus. With only one member, this is probably
one of the smallest active chapters in the Turbojugend universe. We do
accept new members...)
Denimgloss to the people!!!

entertain a bunch of A&R people." Who could argue with that...?

:: LARGE IN LIFE, LARGE IN PASSING!
The Oregonian published a nice article on 'Pig Champion' last Saturday, February 4, 2006. Writer Marty Hughley gives great insight into one of punks most influential guitarist - ever!
A must read for any Poison Idea fan.
www.oregonlive.com
.........................................................................................
:: PIG CHAMPION FOUND DEAD!
Thomas "Pig Champion" Roberts, guitarist for POISON IDEA, died at his home in Portland, Oregon,
Monday night (Jan. 30). He was 47 years old. A founding member of the seminal punk band, he continued
to appear with POISON IDEA throughout the late Nineties and into the new millennium, despite officially
quitting the band in 1993. Variously described as "spectacularly fat," and "the single largest man in
hardcore history," Roberts crowned himself "Pig Champion" after hitting an impressive 450 lbs. on the
scales. The highly regarded guitarist was revered by a devoted following worldwide. No further information
is available at this time.
Poison Idea - The Kings Of Punk
From Portland, OR came the greatest band ever. 1500 pounds of pure American Punk Rock! Coming out fast
and furious playing blistering hardcore thrash Poison Idea said to Pick Your King, Elvis on one side,
Jesus onthe other. Those who picked Elvis knew what rock was about; those who picked Jesus stayed the fuck
out. Jerry A. led Poison Idea from the hardcore thrash band to a powerhouse punk/metal band that was heavier
than Poison Idea themselves.
The first time I heard 'Just to Get Away' from Feel The Darkness I knew that I had to hear more. From that day
I made it my goal to hear everything this band had put out. Most bands that went from hardcore thrash to a big
punk metal sound usually ended up losing the power and anger that made them great in the beginning. Poison
Idea's sound grew and grew, heavier and heavier, though never losing the speed and fury that they started out
with. Though Pig Champion may not have been able to stand up for a whole show his guitar sound made you want
to stand up and scream, slam, drink and fight. Jerry A. was constantly injuring himself and putting himself
back together again, getting back on that stage and blowing fire into the crowd long before Nashville Pussy
was ever conceived.
If someone asks me to recommend one punk band, and I mean a punk band, not the shit passed off today as punk,
I'd tell them POISON fucking IDEA!

:: ALARMPRISEN!
Last call for the Alarmprisen voting in Norway! The voting will end January,
21st. At the moment Turbonegro are in first place in the "Best Live Act" category,
but we heard that the Kaizer's Orchestras fanclub have put their heads together and
developed a strategy.
They all want to vote on the last day with full impact, to push Kaizer's Orchestra
on the first position, when there is no time left to bring Turbo back on the top position.
The same plan exists to kick TJ Ardal president from his throne.
So here is the Turbojugend's strategy: Vote for both before Tuesday and then give'em the final push on
Friday. Be aware of the fact, that you are only able to vote once every three days. If you are able
to vote from different computers (office, home, internet cafe, girlfriend's
PC, school, etc.) take advantage of it!
Click here for the voting: http://www.alarmprisen.no/06/
Turbonegro are nominated in the category "Live", Max Power (real name Raymond Lokken)
is nominated under "Arets Blodfan".
Thank you all for your ongoing support! This is once again an indicator: Together we are
able to move things!
Short note from the mailorder section: The regular version (black vinyl) of "Small Feces"
is in stock now!
