NOVEMBER ACTION UPDATE
(11.17.05)
About 1/2 way through the tour with rock legends the Dwarves, and it just keeps getting better! Although we lost Mondo Generator from the bill the shows have still been great. So now The Turbo A.C.'s are running as main support for the tour, so a much better slot for us and all of you Turbo ManiACs that can't make it early. We wish Nick Oliveri (aka Rex Everything) well, we had a blast with him while he was with us but we figured out that he really hasn't been to sleep in about 8 years, so we think he just needed a little break.
Still a lot more fun shows to come if you have any questions about any of the shows hit us up at info@turboacs.com and we'll try to help you out.
