king khan and the shrines were amazing last night. haven't dance my ass of like that since last summer (when i was DJing).
king khan manages to channel james brown through manic garage rock. the shrines give him a funky horn section which brings the music more full tilt than most indie bands can muster. the sold out show became the biggest hipster dance party i've seen in awhile, and not that awkward we're going to dance to crunk kinda of dance party, but a complete loss of inhibition kind of dancing craze.......
king khan's live show is twice the intensity of his LPs, and his albums are in constant rotation at the apartment. you have to get out to see him by any means necessary.........
and to top off the already awesome show, mark sultan (aka bbq who has two albums with king khan as side gig for both of them) opened up. mark sultan's forthcoming subpop album will blow you away. garage punk influenced by doo wop soul and rockabilly.....check out sultanic verses on in the red records or buy his new subpop seven inch. you will not be disappointed.........
