Background/ Composition: The King Khan & BBQ Show are known for wearing revealing, Middle Eastern-inspired costumes and playing swanky, blues-infused rock 'n' roll. It's distorted guitars and a lone kick drum all the way for this duo, which means their live show is much more about the spectacle than the music itself. Grade: 81 Comment:...

King Khan & The Shrines — What Is?!

in
By Steve McLean (CHARTattack) May 19, 2009 2:13 pm

You know what they say: live weird, die weird. And so, the ongoing saga of The King Khan & BBQ Show has come to an end... or has it? There are reports that after the big blowout in Sydney, Australia last week, the duo had either put their differences aside or at least had decided to honor their remaining tour dates. Either way, they arrived...

King Khan & BBQ Show May Have Split Up In Australia

When Neil Young said that it's better to burn out than to fade away, I doubt he had a flying snake, four dancing Chinese girls, and a feast of stone crab and Peking duck in mind. Then again, when you're talking about a band as out there as The King Khan & BBQ Show, any breakup was bound to happen in spectacular fashion. In a lengthy article...

The King Khan & BBQ Show — "I'll Be Loving You"

in
By CHARTattack Staff November 16, 2009 2:02 pm
The King Khan & BBQ Show's clip for "I'll Be Loving You" is a pretty simple affair (if you don't count their get-up, that is) that places Arish Khan and Mark Sultan next to a dumpster near a building that's being demolished. "I'll Be Loving You" is on Invisible Girl, which is out now.

King Khan Set To Expose His Genius On Tour

By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) June 19, 2008 3:00 pm
Singer/guitarist King Khan has a split personality. When listening to the loose R&B/soul-meets-garage rock he's been belting out since 2000 with the likes of BBQ and The Shrines, you'd figure he's the result of genetic splicing involving former Rocket From The Crypt frontman John Reis and Jon Spencer. Speaking to him over the phone at his...
