Says Turbonegro vocalist Hans Erik Dybvik Husby aka Hank Von Helvete aka Hertis to News of Norway prior to entering the stage of Washington’s Black Cat club: “…we’re about as excited as the crowd, I think” says the vocalist and continues to elaborate on the band’s massive success: “We create a show for them (the audience), a show that appeals to their need to follow something, be it a beat, an image, a feeling of camaraderie or whatever. We provide them with an outlet for their energy, and they provide us with a great deal of motivation to come back and do it all over again.”
