I come home from an enjoyable vacation only to read about the possible ending of one of my favorite bands consisting of two of my favorite muscians…say what the fuck? King Khan (apparently) wrote a huge ass letter to The Daily Swarm after KK+BBQ’s performance in Australia and said:
We were literally told to “tone it down a notch.” This message was conveyed to us in a threatening manner and they implied we’d be kicked out the festival. With very little hesitation, I heeded the warning… no snake….no food…. I merely spilled some wine on the floor several times, an ancient gang ritual to commemorate the dead. (Jay Reatard & BJ Womack R.I.P.) At the end of the show instead of the snake I launched my guitar into the audience. The audience caught it and threw it back…. this exchange happened several times and the show was over. Returning to the backstage I opened the door to a scowling BBQ…. A HUGE SCREAMING MATCH ensued and so went the demise of the King Khan & BBQ show…. we agreed that this would be the last show ever. Wow…. what a way to die!!!! After nearly 7 years…. oh well… Lets get fucked up!!!!
I proceeded to feel very emotional… one moment in tears, crying about how two of my best warriors brothers would never know that we made it to the opera house…. I cried because this was the end of a very destructive path i had followed… it made me the world greatest sinner. Thanks to Lou and Laurie… I was beginning to see the light.
Is this true? Is it false?

This sounds like a really bad joke…. hopefully it is.
It’s strange that according to the MySpace they haven’t had any additional information on the mid-June tour dates….
From Exclaim!
Whether this was just a very public fight or the actual end of this long-running Canadian garage-punk team is yet to be seen. If they are broken up, however, Sultan doesn’t seem to know. From his solo MySpace page, he posted a bulletin on Tuesday (June 8) titled “BBQ live in HONG KONG”, where he writes “Tonight at GRAPPAS in HONG KONG: BBQ, one-man band. Khan will meet me in Shanghai to complete the tour. I’ll be playing KKBBQ stuff and Mark Sultan stuff, tonight.”
The use of … between words … yes, he likes to do that. So I think it’s authentic.
There have been questions about whether this act is breaking up. If you were to read the whole statement it contains a passage suggesting that King Khan is retiring from show business.
You should know that this is true, it’s all true. Having read the statement, it’s clear that he is not in a very good state and you should want him to be in a better way if he is to continue in this business. Clearly, he needs a break. I don’t think he’s going to abandon show business, but expect him to not appear in any of his major acts for some time to come.
All right people. Do you believe it’s over or not? Do you think it’s over permanently, or do you think it will be suspended for six months, a year, more than a year? Or do you think that this is all one big joke? There has been very little news of this – do you interpret this as a good sign or a bad sign?
