King Khan & the Shrines

Of all the shows to have a near dead camera! Good GOD these kids rock. Well-done funk is always dance inducing but this is a whole different beast. King Khan & the Shrines bring the . . . everything, cheerleader included. Imagine if James Brown was of Middle Eastern descent and if his music was a pinch more rock, and there you go. Show highlight -- one band member stood atop an amp, dropped trou, tucked his "snake" between his legs, and proudly wiggled and danced about with a full on man-gina. It sadly didn't last too long. A SXSW volunteer was sent out on stage to stand in front of him. Ha!
