This week, we traveled to West Village to see how people there felt about Turbo Fruits, the Tennessee-based indie rock outfit.The folks we stumbled across in West Village compared Turbo Fruits' "Where The Stars Don't Shine" to the likes of the Ramones and the Beatles. And though they found the recording of the song to be a bit "garage," they nonetheless found the song fun and dance-able. They also thought that the band fairly likely to play a good live show.

Good news, then: Turbo Fruits is slated to come through the region for a gig at Denton's Rubber Gloves on Saturday, December 18. And if you want to go the live show, well, you're in luck.
