The King Khan & BBQ Show, one of the greatest rock and roll bands to grace God’s green earth will be playing two shows in Canada this month! On July 13th the duo are hitting up Lee’s Palace in Toronto. On July 14th they play the Biltmore in Vancouver. Awesome! Damn, wish I was near Toronto or Vancouver :(
Check out this song, “We Are the Ocean,” as seen on the Black Lips facebook page

Three years ago today was July 3, 2009, a great day in KLYAM history. KLYAM had just started a week prior and so we KLYAMERS were hungry for some good old fun rock and roll shows. At the time, I didn’t know too much about Jay Reatard, but Glen was starting to delve into his discography. I’ll be honest, it wasn’t one of the better live moments I have witnessed, but something about his (and the whole band, which included Stephen Pope on bass and Billy Hayes on drums) performance shook me up from head to toe, so much so that I picked up Matador Singles’08. Which by the way is rare for me to do in general- that is purchase an artist’s music immediately after hearing/seeing them. I went home that night and put on Matador and the rest is KLYAM history. Legendary punker, TV Smith and local power poppers, Prety and Nice opened. Six months later Jay passed away, within that time we had the privilege of seeing him three times. Amen.

That’s right, after nearly four years (or more) of planning a tour of the Middle East, the band has finally landed their most anitcipated gig(s). Going where very, very few rock and roll bands have gone before. The proud, the few, the Black Lips!

Now, I know what you Boston fans are thinking, damn wouldn’t it have been excellent if the Lips played a week long tour of back to back shows at the Middle East upstairs and downstairs?! Yes, it would have :( but we can’t be selfish, the Lips have to spread their glorious rock and roll to all regions of the world.
Here’s the earliest interview I recall of the foursome vocalizing interests in playing Iraq/the Middle East region. This is from an MTV interview with John Norrris from June 2008. At the 3 minute mark they bring up the possibility of playing in Iraq. Check it out:
Damn, I must say Ian looks great at the center of the stage! Nice voice, nice sound all around really. Glad to see such a sick band on national television.
When thee kids were out attending Morrissey concerts, jamming to Animal Collective’s Strawberry Jam, and dreading AP History exams, some other slightly older kids were making some noises…
