King Khan & The Shrines Part 2.

Imagine going to a concert to which the venue was the mind of John Ringer, and you're having a dream that involves cobras, whiskey, and James Brown. This doesn't even begin to express the cataclysm that was King Khan & The Shrines friday night at the Great American. Khan (aka Black Snake) in my mind is known for his contributions to King Khan & BBQ Show, a Doo-Wop, Punk Rock minimalist duo with some serious power of enchantment and explosion. However, with The Shrines, Khan cuts the Lo-Fi umbilical chord and gives life to his inner desire to blow you out of your fucking skin with a twelve piece Soul group. Saxophones, Trumpets, Trombone, Electric Guitar, Bass, Key's, Drum, Percussion, Dancer, and King Fucking Khan! He was introduced as "The Devil Of Soul", or some shit like that!?! He came out wearing a cape and some shades and some crazy suit, with whiskey and a snake cane in hand. The stage exploded with energy and it was as though I was immediately hypnotized when he let out the most powerful yell that I have ever heard! What the fuck even happened!?! It was a completely perfectly orchestrated circus for it's entire duration. Everything about it was stunning, mind numbingly powerful, and exuberant! Go see this fucking Band!!!

Funny Things From 2006 Part 1.

I uncovered some mystical treats by sake of chance. I had been rummaging through an ominous cavern of insects and dirty clothes, when amongst shoe boxes of dvd's and skate videos I found my copy of "Easy Rider". Which I was stoked on because when I'm usually looking for things I want to find I don't find shit! Underneath that availed a memory card for my digital camera from when I first got it back in 2006. With the greatest of delights I loaded up the flikz and scanned through them. Feeling that age is wiping me down with it's subtle caress. Feeling so much younger only two years ago. All this time spent growing up to be.. who the fuck knows? I will be flying into Portland on Monday to visit my parents and friends, sadly, despite the company of clint, It won't be anything like this..

I'll load up a bunch of the photos in the next entry. There is a fucking ton of funny shit, so stay tuned!!!

King Khan & The Shrines

If you are at all curious in any facet of modern rock n' roll, this would be the band to see! Their new album came out June 17. They play The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco tomorrow night. I'll be there, and I'll be square.
