One of the most insane live performances I’ve ever witnessed, King Khan and The Shrines are a sight to behold. Originally from Germany, King Khan – also known as Black Snake – is like a Hindu version of Little Richard and James Brown. His band of freaks rolls eight deep and lays down a crazy concoction of psychedelic R&B with a full horn section and Go Go Queen of the Underworld, Bamboorella.

This is the new video for “Land of the Freaks” off their latest album The Supreme Genius of King Khan and The Shrines. The band is on tour now and will hit San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall May 28.  Be there!  The freak show awaits.

Video: Black Joe Lewis “Sugarfoot”

Black Joe Lewis is one of those booty shaking bands you just have to see live. He’s Austin’s answer to James Brown and after seeing them at SXSW, I can confidently say these guys know how to get down and have a funky good time. So don’t judge them too much by this video. They look way too composed here.  The band is touring in support of his new album, Tell ‘Em What Your Name Is, and will be at Slims in San Francisco on May 16. Check Black Joe’s MySpace page for full tour details. The first leg they will be supporting Gomez. A good bill!

I’ve gone stark raving mad for Starfucker.  I saw them again this weekend at The Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco, to an overly packed crowd I might add.  They are so much fun live.  And the lead singer Ryan has some hot dance moves that can rival Beck.  They’re on tour right now promoting their forthcoming album, Jupiter, due out May 5. Catch them at a venue near you.

Here’s a the new video for “German Love” and a new track from their upcoming album that premiered on MOKB, “Medicine“:

I adore the vintage sounds of  Richard Swift’s  EP Ground Trouble Jaw and look forward to his upcoming full length album The Atlantic Ocean next week (April 7th)! His tour kicks off on the same date in Santa Cruz, California and will be playing San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall on April 8. I seem destined to miss him both at SXSW and here!  Soon.
