Turbo Fruits on a Mixtape for China’s Nine-Day Traffic Jam

Turbo Fruits — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:11:18 +0000

Apparently there was a traffic jam leading into Beijing, China that lasted 9 days! Yahoo News said the traffic’s been so bad there recently that the highways were at a “snail’s crawl” for a month this summer without a break. Freakin’ insane.
According to MTV Iggy’s blog our tune “On the Road” is a good one for helping you get through any other 9-day traffic jams to come.
Check out their blog HERE.

The Bottletree (Birmingham, AL)

Turbo Fruits — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 23:29:34 +0000

The Bottletree is one of our all-time favorite venues. The owner, Brian Tealsey (Man or Astro-Man?, Servotron, The Causey Way, Shannon Wright, The Japancakes, The Vue, Har Mar Superstar, The Polyphonic Spree, and St. Vincent) has toured a lot and knows how to treat dirty tired touring musicians. The backstage area that takes up half of the property is equipped with arcade games, 2 airstream trailers, delicious food, tvs, kickass inside and outside areas to hang and more.
We’re really looking forward to our show tonight here with Colour Revolt. It’s our last show with them for the weekend but we do another stint with CR in two weeks up the east coast.

Boise, Idaho w/ Monotonix

Turbo Fruits — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:08:46 +0000

On the way to Boise… in the middle of nowhere.

Yanatan Gat of Monotonix

We saw this cow and chicken hangin out next to the venue in Boise.
The owners told us they’ve been friends since the chicken was born. Pretty sweet.
If you’re wondering why there’s farm-life 5 feet from the venue keep in mind that Boise is the 100th largest city in America.
That’s kind of like being the 100th smallest city in America.
According to wikipedia Boise’s glass is half full.
