King Khan/Shrines For Spring Tour

Deep fried ass shakin' soul comin' to yer town to help you party down...

By Blurt Staff

With latest album What Is?! finally getting a proper domestic release (Vice, April 21st), King Khan and The Shrines are once again set to shock and awe, bringing their frantic brand of psychedelic soul insanity to the youth of America. The kicks off next week and will take them through the heart of the south en route to shows in Austin SXSW, then after taking most of April off the band will resume operations at the end of April for another month-long track across North America, including a stop at the Sasquatch! festival in the heart of Washington state.

As we are advised by their label, "The band left many folks scratching their heads, picking their jaws up off the floor, and tearing up dollar bills as a sign of unity after their first tour of the US last year after mindblowers at the Pitchfork festival and dates all across the country. Most didn't even know what hit them. King Khan and The Shrines are doing it all over again, and everyone will be thankful they did."
