I’m just letting you know now, I don’t know what is going to happen on Sunday night when King Khan & The Shrines take the stage at Asbury Lanes.
It’s entirely possible they will not be joined on stage by a giddy army clad in cartoon, monster costumes or flappers sporting pom-poms. It possible King Khan himself will be wearing more than just a gold cape and black underwear.
It is very unlikely Khan will get another opportunity this Sunday at Asbury Lanes to back up his bare-ass into Lindsay Lohan’s face. But who knows? It’s happened before.
The important thing is that none of that really matters. Even if the band shows up sporting matching tuxedos and a case of stage fright, you’re still getting one of the best rock shows going.
Sure the theatrics are great but listening to the band’s latest Idle No More—which you can pick up on vinyl here—you might not get a sense of the Alice Cooper/Parliament Funkadelic-type antics that go on live. When you take that away, what you’re left with is a band burning through Summer of Love psychedelia with punk abandon, slowing down every so often to bang out some Otis Redding-inspired, soul pyrotechnics.
So if this seems like a good way to spend a quiet, almost-summer Sunday evening down by the seashore then you’re in luck. We have two pairs of tickets to giveaway for King Khan and The Shrines with Red Mass, Sunday, June 8th at Asbury Lanes. Doors open at 7:30pm.
