Sweating, pushing, screaming, chanting...Turbonegro at the Mason Jar in Phoenix Arizona. One of Turbo's finest shows combining top speed energy along with personal shout outs and local fan-made cowboy hats.

Euroboy's performance was phenomenal as he wailed away at the guitar while being carried away in the sea of Phoenix Jugend.

Pål Pot was also in high form with his awesome keyboard riffs and ever-eccentric Turbo style.

Chris Summers was sighted at Kats (the local bar next store) playing pool and looking Ultra Denim before the show. Later that night he would proceed to kick more life into the drums than any other show I've been privileged to see!

Rune Rebellion also made the crowd roar as he pleased the audience with his mean rhythmic style and dominating demeanor.

Then there was Happy Tom. After battling an episode of food poisoning the night before, Tom didn't miss a hitch with his powerful bass lines and dazzling display of stage presence.

Lastly, the one and only Hank Von Helvete would take the stage with darkness and determination...and a cane that twirled remarkably close to hundreds of unsuspecting Sailor heads. His clever side-comments and memorable dedication will never be forgotten...nor will the Denim Demons.

Although the feathers were absent, the blood was plenty adding to the highest energy level in recent rock history that is still a buzz in the 'valley of the sun'...Phoenix, Arizona.
