The insane Norwegian super-heroes have once again graced the shores of Britain. The band came out swinging with “All my friends are dead” at the Rescue Rooms up in Nottingham. Or rather in Nothingham, if lead singer Hank von Helvete gets his way. Fresh from the Leeds festival he has only just spent a few hours in town. During this time he has already established that there’s nothing to do in Nothingham, unless, of course, you partake in the towns favourite past-time, male prostitution.
After a bunch of their incredible songs like Sell you body, Fuck the world, Wasted again, High on crime, City of Satan and Get it on Hank let’s us sing along. Immensely pleased with our efforts he offers us all a place in the band. One small condition apply, we have to offer our anal-cherries to Mr Sailor man, Happy Tom.
After a brief break in the end, they come back with their calling card song, I got erection. The crowd goes mad as Hanks tells us how it feels to meet a woman, to think of blood as well as to dig a hole in the ground. When they walk off the stage to the sounds of a Greek zorba, I and Kris watch the punk rockers form a ring and dance faster and faster. We nod at each other knowing that Turbonegro has once again exorcised their flavour of black magic on us. A few minutes later I leave the Rescue Rooms, grinning and with a big fat boner. I GOT ERECTION!
