Brewing up a heady mixture of high-spirited rhythm & blues, real-gone psychedelia, and middle-finger-flipping garage rock, King Khan has earned an international reputation as one of the wildest showman in underground rock. First making his name in the insouciant garage punk band the Spaceshits, Khan enjoyed a productive collaboration with Mark Sultan (aka BBQ) on scrappy but passionate efforts like 2006's What's for Dinner? and 2015's Bad News Boys. With his group the Shrines, he delivered a more ambitious and full-bodied sound that suggested a crazed, internationalist R&B show band flying on spiked punch, documented on 2007's What Is?! His solo debut, 2017's Murderburgers, showed that he knew how to play tighter and leaner music without sapping his energy or sense of fun, and he detoured into jazz-influenced instrumental sounds on 2020's The Infinite Ones and 2023's The Nature of Things.
