BIOGRAPHY
Now, I could tell you about Mark Sultan, I mean,
BBQ's past in bands like Les Sexareenos or The Spaceshits,
and that his new album will be out soon on Bomp.
I could tell you about King Khan's pseudo-celebrity
in Europe, or his past in The Spaceshits, or how
his band's new album is a split with The Dirtbombs.
But you probably wouldn't give a shit. These names
and facts probably mean nothing to you. Let's talk
about the real nitty gritty - The King Khan &
BBQ Show. First, I must say that these guys are
fuckin blood brothers, man. Real tight. They played
all over the place before in an aforementioned band
outta Montreal. And they're the best of friends
to this day. When King Khan (then 'Blacksnake')
decided to stay in the land of kraut and honey,
they always maintained that they would soon lay
waste to this miserable world. And so they began
in 2002. BBQ visiting my man King Khan, and jamming
in his Nazi-bunker rehearsal space. The black magick
remained intact. Songs flowed endlessly like blood
from a cancerous abcess. They took it easy, honing
their craft, playing sporadically around Germany
and Spain to crowds outraged by their incredible
sound and nasty live show. Orgiastic, anarchic,
hypnotic and personal are the shows to this day.
I've seen the blow-jobs and blood, the pick-ups
and puke, the dancing and the laughing. Two guys.
One smashing snare, bass drum and tambourine with
his bare feet, molesting his guitar and singing
like a possessed angel. The other spinning and howling
like a freak while belting it out on his guitar
like a real gone savage. What does it all sound
like? It sounds like five men. People throw the
typical suspects into their descriptions as a defense
against the real sound: The Velvet Underground,
13th Floor Elevators, Black Flag, The Falcons, Sam
Cooke, The Users, The Sonics, The Cramps, Bo, Jerry
Lee, The Gonn... Their sound is all of this and
more, but all of their own. The show? A mess. Love
songs, punkers, improvised riot-starters, dance-floor
shakers, sing-along stompers, wild rockers - you
name it. They always drench the crowd in raw energy,
and they're always the last ones dancing and drinking
at the bar. The LP/CD will be out in March on Hazelwood
Records in Europe and in January/February on Goner
Records in the US. It was recorded by DM Bob in
Hamburg. A single on Italy's 'Solid Sex Lovie Doll
Records' will precurse the disaster. The 'real rock
n roll' monicker has been used and abused, yes,
but I can't think of any better way to describe
this party. - Allen Ginseng |
