King Khan & The Shrines – “Born to Die”/ Tour Dates/Boston – 10/29!

King-Khan-And-The-Shrines-Idle-No-More-608x608
Damn, it seems like every day we’re discovering something new about our honorary KLYAMER King Khan and his Sensational Shrines. Well, today the gospel is this: “Born to Die” is here for your listening pleasure and it is the opening track off of King Khan & The Shrines’ forthcoming album Idle No More (out 9/3 on Merge).

Hearing the scandalous, sweaty, but infinitely wise words of the Shrines is not enough. Oh no, you must witness the supreme genius in the flesh…

Woo, The Orwells are coming back to the area, opening for UK’s Palma Violets at Brighton Music Hall on Monday May 6th.
