Turbo Tuesdays in St. Pete

Turbo Tuesdays is the Bay Area’s monument to Dubstep.  Starting as an open mic night at Fubar in Downtown St. Pete, Todd Frain and Jason Feder transformed this nearly empty bar into a viral nightspot earning mention in the Tampa Bay Times.  Every time we go the crowd gets bigger and the dance floor of this hole-in-the wall gets thicker.   If Dubstep ever reaches the ubiquity and social penetration of rock, Fubar will be noted in the history books as being where the outbreak began in the southeastern United States.

One of the most striking aspects about our first impression of Tubro wasn’t just the music, or the crowd, or the cheap-ass beer.  It was the bathrooms.  They looked like street-art got into a fight with itself.  In the confines of a closed bathroom, artists who may have never tagged anything beyond their own bedroom door were allowed to leave their mark with a drip marker, sharpie, or a hole punched in the wall.

Jason and Todd have done a brilliant job nurturing the beast we call Dubstep.  Hand picking DJs with some of the most finely tuned ears in the Bay, Turbo has always made cutting edge, quality Dubstep a priority so the fans just gravitate like the wobble to the bass.
