whiteymuseum Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 A 10 pc Frenzy/Stomp Garage-Soul Orchestra" Friday June 2 @ Casbah 9PM -- 19+ (Limited all-ages) KING KHAN & HIS SHRINES! Who is this manic Master of Ceremonies who openly confesses to the two grand black bohemians said to be lunatic Sun Ra and George Clinton, and whose stagings certainly remind us of a young Herman Sonny Blount and his Solar Arkestra? In 1995 Khan leaves the frosty soil of the city of Montreal playing the bass for the International-Underground-Legends THE SPACESHITS. The band is produced by Mike Mariconda with a special guest appearance from the Fabulous Andy G (Devil Dogs). Khan founds the secret lodge of the KUKAMONGAS. During the oncoming years Khan tours across the States. Detroit, New Orleans, New York City, LA, San Francisco, Dallas, Tijuana etc. Khan doesn’t return from the first Spaceshits-Europe-Tour in summer of 1999. In Germany the young 22-year old Canadian founds a Psychedlic-Soul-Big-Band THE SENSATIONAL SHRINES. The first line-up includes Ron Streeter (live-percussionist of Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau and other Soul-Legends), as well as a horn section of rowdy teenagers, and a rhythm section which can only be called a german/french version of the Freak Brothers. Khan meets Fredovitch (Bordeaux's wildest organ player) wearing a silverstudded gogo dress, matching cowboy hat and sporting a full beard. He dubs him into shrinehood only one week before recording their first album in Toe Rag Studio in London. THREE HAIRS & YOU’RE MINE is produced by Liam Watson. THE SHRINES grow into an all-star international movement. Their first concert in London is suspended by the police. The band escapes through the back-door. Numerous gigs will follow all across Europe, among others with the Demolition Dollrods, Mr.Quintron and Ms. Pussycat, an after-party for 50 cent, even a legendary stint at the Roskilde festival. In 2003 Khan encounters the Hazelwood-producers-team Gordon “Two Horses†Friedrich and Wolfgang “Amadeus†Gottlieb, who stage the second longplayer MR. SUPERNATURAL in the beginning of 2004.

whiteymuseum Posted May 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Please investigate! With the quantity of shows I put on, I try not to over-blow my excitement for shows to friends, otherwise it seems like I'm over-hyping every show I present. But this is one show that deserves the props.Well advised to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteymuseum Posted June 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 The biggest commotional gamble since the Zoobombing of Canadian Music Week! -- we reach to Berlin for one of those brilliant jacks of garage soul who came from Montreal, then blazed their way through Jack White's Detroit to L.A. and those labels -- Sympathy, In The Red -- which catapulted the Motown rock rennaissance.Blacksnake of Montreal's The Spaceshits is now King Khan and His Shrines of Berlin, Germany, a 10-piece blitzkrieg of RnB -- the early 60s suit -- that travels with its own Go-Go dancer.
