you can read the Wiki history of Turbonegro "here":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TurbonegroI first really became aware of Turbonegro when I made a trip with my brother and Big Tony (from Mazinga) to Washington DC to see the band Adam West play live for the first time back around 1998 or so. A friend in the UK had sent my brother a tape of Turbonegro's two best records Ass Cobra and Apocalypse Dudes we listened to that tape on the drive, and when we arrived in DC and met up with Adam West singer Jake Starr he was also playing the album, and thus it was that Turbonegro entered my life.
Musically they are a mix of dark glammy punk, think of the best of Alice Cooper with a lot of early 70's bowie, GG Aillin, and a huge dose of (all fake I assure you) Homo Erotism tossed in and you might come close to what they sound like. As of late their albums have become more pop and accessible, but still worth checking out. 
I think that the wiki entry gives a better overview of the band than I could so check that out and if you are in mind to hear some Turbonegro check out Apocalypse Dudes. The last thing I want to add, is I can't think of any other band in recent history that has managed to attract the cult following that they have... the only band that I know of that has ever managed to pull of the same trick with their following is The Misfits with their Fiendclub... but even there I doubt that there ever were as many chapters of the Fiendclub as there are local Turbonegro clubs,,,
