History

Bingo's musical history
Knut "Euroboy" Schreiner's musical history
Thomas "Happy-Tom" Seltzer's musical history
Chris Summers' musical history

Trbngr were formed in late 1988 by Rune, Pål and Happy-Tom ...
They made their first concert in Copenhagen April 1989.
They made the first 7" around the same time which was produced by Chris Calmeyer (who also did Ass Cobra and Never Is Forever).
Toured the US in 1990 with a new singer and released some further singles on SFTRI and an album on local label Big Ball Recs.
Some of tracks are already in the 'deathpunk' vein, but a bit poor in production.
It really started in 1995 when they passed over a tape to Anthony X. Martin from Amrep Distribution Hamburg (located in direct neighbourhood to the passed away Crypt store 'Cool And Crazy') and he decided to release it and therefore founded Boomba Records.
The band operated under various names, Turbonegro, Turboneger, Trbngr, Stierkampf, etc. and some of them were in Anal Babes.
The line-ups are difficult to interpret, because the everchanging list of pseudonymes is confusing. The honourable Martin Lucassen (thanks!) used their real names above.
Ofcourse the next translation table is valid:
- Thomas Seltzer is Happy-Tom aka Tom of Norway aka Bongo.
- Knut Schreiner is Euroboy.
- Rune Grønn is Rune Rebellion aka Rune Protrude aka Brune.
- Pål is Pål Pot aka Pål Pamparius aka L.Ron Bud.
- Anders is Andre Grandeur.
- Bengt Calmeyer is Bingo.
- Erik Husby is Hank Von Helvete, Herr Tugen, Hertissen, etc.
