Turbonegro
Live @ Koko, Camden Town, London, 11/30/05

What do you get if you mix a sailor, a Viking and a Nazi officer? That's right: Turbonegro. Never having heard this Norwegian band before, I was persuaded by my friend to join the crowd at Koko in Camden. I'm so glad I did. The energy and tempo was unbeatable and the fans superior. All bands have some sort of fan base. Turbonegro have TurboJugend - an army of obsessed fans. Wearing uniform jean jackets and sailor hats, they controlled the venue and with their overhead hand-clapping and did a better job then the band's drummer. One of many highlights was new single, "City of Satan" - a stomping punk-rock song. Hank Von Helvete said Turbonegro used to be a gay band. No sign of homosexuality this night (expect for maybe the sailor uniform) though that wouldn't have mattered. Turbonegro rocked in every way possible. I won't buy their album, but I'd go and see them live again any day of the week.
