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
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…
I don’t necessarily agree with some of Reed’s sentiments here, but at least he’s entertaining. This kid is from Oklahoma; it’s cool that someone from so far away is checking out Fat History Month!
KLYAM debut posting about Juiceboxxx, an interesting rock-rapper. What might pique your interest is first watching a documentary about the man that was shot in 2009. http://vimeo.com/36322485
Juiceboxxx is playing this Friday, JUNE 15, at Video Underground with SKIMASK, Big Digits, and Fucktrots. It is a Bodies of Water show.
Nice, I dig the checkered flannel shirts on Jared and Cole. I also get a kick out of Joe’s shirt! This has to be the tamest Black Lips show in years haha. Either way I would kill to see them in a living room.
