| After a five-year hiatus, rock n roll's renegade-angel savior The King Khan & BBQ Show returns with a brand new album of high-energy, low-brow rockers!Known as the hottest duo from Montreal to come out of Berlin, the King Khan & BBQ Show is dirty, funny, irreverent and always a good time. Their raw, stripped-down mix of doo-wop, early rock n roll, soul and punk is drenched in pure energy. Known to their mothers as King Khan and Mark Sultan, these guys make this stuff sound simple, but make no mistake-it takes serious talent as well as balls to pull this off.Bad News Boys takes its title from the original moniker the duo gave themselves when they first started over ten years ago. They recently threatened to revert to this name before deciding that it might make things too confusing. Bad News Boys serves twelve sizzling slabs-from the beautifully soulful "Buy Bye Bhai" to the juvenile and obnoxious "D.F.O." (which stands for "Diarrhea Fuck Off")-with all the rocking lunacy that their legion of fans has come to expect.In their storied, sordid career, these guys have endured a roller-coaster of successes, trials and tribulations that wouldve buried lesser men: Theyve played with some of the coolest names in rock. Their relentless touring schedule has included countries where few bands venture. Theyve been kicked off tours. Theyve headlined and sold out some of the most prestigious venues in the world. Theyve played some of the worst dumps imaginable. Theyve been busted and jailed for shrooms mid-tour. They were hand-picked by Lou Reed to play the All Tomorrows Parties festival. They were ejected from the All Tomorrows Parties festival. Theyve suffered mental and physical exhaustion. Theyve enjoyed dizzying highs and suffered crushing lows. Theyve broken up. Theyve gotten back together. Through it all, they continually make incredible and real rock n roll music like no one else, always with smiles on their faces, always with middle fingers held high. |
