I can’t believe the tours with Jenny Don’t And The Spurs and Louise Distras are already over. But the good news is that Jenny will be back in May/June with Don’t — now featuring their new band member Eric “Vegetable” Olson from Poison Idea —and Louise will also return in April with her full band! 🙂

Huge thanks to everyone who helped make these shows happen: the organizers, the promoters, and of course everyone who came out and supported these two amazing acts!

Beautiful fall with Louise Distras

Jul 13, 2016 News Comments are off

Don’t be sad when summer ends — because this fall, the amazing singer-songwriter Louise Distras will be touring Europe with her full band! Louise Distras channels her anger, hopes and fears into anthems of love and fury for yet another let down generation. Ticking both the post-punk and pop boxes with explosive lyrics and riotous sonic disposition, Distras’ live shows are “high energy face rippers that stand out like a meteor”.

Cheetah Chrome and the Knobs

Jun 14, 2016 News Comments are off

Exciting news! Cheetah Chrome, the original Dead Boys guitarist, will come to Europe for a few shows in August and then again in October 2016! Turbo Booking is happy to help.

Cheetah Chrome’s explosive songwriting and raw tone influenced an entire generation of players and has been reflected in some most revered and popular bands including The Hellacopters, The Darkness, Powder Monkeys or Supersuckers.
From cutting his chops and being an architect for the US punk rock sound in Cleveland, Ohio with Rocket from The Tombs to relocating to New York City as a founding member of one of the most prolific punk rock bands of the genre, The Dead Boys.

 

In Fall 2016, Cheetah Chrome will be returning to Europe to embark on a tour across mainland Europe. With “The Knobs” Cheetah has recruited a quality cast of band mates who have aligned themselves with his style and have brought his influence to their country, Tony Leewenburgh aka “Tony Slug” (BGK, Nitwitz, The Hydromatics, Loveslug, The Spades), Theo Brouwer (Lords Of Altamont, The Nitwitz, The Hydromatics) and Ries Doms (The Kik, The Hydromatics, Powervice, The Spades).

Jenny Don’t and the Spurs Europe 2016 – Part II

Jun 1, 2016 News Comments are off

Portland’s hottest new roots-country four-piece, Jenny Don’t and the Spurs, are coming back to Europe — just six months after their last tour!

We simply had too much fun with the country experience to wait any longer!

Featuring Jenny Don’t (Don’t, Ladies Of The Night), Kelly Halliburton (P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S., Pierced Arrows), JT Halmfilst (Thee Headliners, Audios Amigos) and Sam Henry (Wipers, Rats, Napalm Beach, Don’t)! While the sound of the Spurs is original and draws from deep wells of personal experience, the band pays stylistic homage to the greats of the genre – Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, Hank Williams Sr., Loretta Lynne, and all the rest of the real players from the 1940s and 50s…

Apr/15/16 CH – Basel, Off Bar
Apr/17/16 CH – Biel, Schrottbar
Apr/18/16 CH – Zürich, Boschbar
Apr/19/16 IT – Turin, El Paso

Luckily I found some new places where they can play – many thanks to all the local promoters!

Steakknife goes Europe

By

Feb 3, 2016 News Comments are off

I’m stoked to announce that Turbo Booking is now handling international bookings for Steakknife (Hardcore Punk from Saarbrücken with legendary singer Lee Hollis from the Spermbirds)!

Let Lee Hollis speak for himself: “We‘ve been doing this forever. 22 years I think. At least long enough to put an eight year distance between ‘One Eyed Bomb’ and our last record ‘Parallel Universe of the Dead’. So yeah, forever. Steakknife has always felt like ‘the right thing to do’. Even on the worst day of the shittiest tour in the middle of winter and ‘Fuck everyone in and OUTSIDE of this BUS!’ we were all in that bus because it was ‘the right thing TO DO.’ Because the music we make is the music we listen to. I wrote that about fifteen years ago and it‘s still true today.”
