King Khan is Keee’razy

posted by on July 15 at 16:27 PM

King Khan & The Shrines played a crazy fun show Sunday. Whole-lee frick. I don’t think I’ve EVER seen people dance so hard at the Tractor Tavern.

The best part of the show was super-drunk-middle-finger-man in the front row. He was flailing around like he was having a seizure, and repeatedly giving the band the bird flip. When Khan told him, “Hey guy, you are a terrible dancer!” Tractor security jumped in and escorted him out. Khan then demanded he was let back in the club, bought him a beer, and kept pointing at him with his big snake stick for the rest of the show.

Bands from South Georgian Sandwich Islands sure are nice.

More photos after the jump.

yeah, that dude's a bartender at Nectar in Fremont. He gets drunk and acts like he's having a seizure when he hears music he likes. He's kind of a douche.

And his drug use has what to do with how fucking awesome that show was?

No Name, where you there? Or are you just bummed cause you missed it and KK prolly makes your girlfriend/boyfriend's cotton panties moist?

I was there. My cotton briefs are still soaked.

I fail to see what the big deal is with this band.

Another band playing grimy garage rock with a lot of energy. I hear nothing I haven't heard dozens of times before.

What's the big fuckin' deal?

Yeah exactly, because most grimey garage bands tour with a Berlin-based soul band that has three horn players, a percussionist, a keyboardist and a Pakistani lead singer that sounds like James Brown. Oh and since we're pigeonholing, since when do grimey garage bands play soul music that get's an entire crowd to go bananas on Sunday night at the Tractor Tavern?

You're an idiot, go die in a fucking car fire while listening to that new 8-minute Death Cab song while you cry about how your fat girlfriend left you.

Thread complete. King Khan rules.

Nope. We're not done yet...

I just have to offer my agreement with #1. The bartender from Nectar is a douche bag.

Shit that whole establishment is douchebags top to bottom best i can tell.

I just wish the world would reach a consensus on whether it's douche bag or douchebag.
