Ah, the majesty. The first of two records by the King Khan & BBQ Show and one of my favourite album covers I have seen in a very long time. For those who do not know King Khan: He is one mother fucking wild soul singing rock and roller from Montreal. His band King Khan and the Shrines have been rocking the European and North American scenes for the past ten years. I once heard a man say he was better than James Brown (but then quickly heard someone talk some sense into that man). For those who have not seen King Khan: his stage presence has the electricity of Bowie, except this is not an androgynous glittery British man, but rather a shirtless, turbanized, jewel incrusted Indian. Fear him. Fear his wrath. It is awesome.
Alongside the supreme genius of King Khan is Mark Sultan, otherwise known as the masterful BBQ. He also plays the guitar as well as the drums (with his feet). A multitasking duo if I've ever seen one. I have to say, it's very impressive to see two dudes on stage in turbans commence a mosh pit while playing doo-wop music. Grab a partner and jump around.
