Hey Hey Hey! King Khan and BBQ Show is invading the east coast.... come out and playyyyeay! This august.... with a surprise show on the 4th in a special city which will be announced the day of the show....

NEW KING KHAN VIDEO!!!! Voodoo Powers abound! Share it with your friends.... the song was written for my buddy's grandpa on the day he passed.... its about souls travelling to the beyond..... ENJOY!

I feel a bit devastated by the news of Roky passing away..... his music has meant so much to every part of my core existence right up there next to Lou Reed! I have found answers to many questions in his songs, found solace in the sounds he made and most of all saw so many faces of love in his life. From his struggles to his triumphs I feel like I saw so much just from the sidelines... the first time i met him was actually in an elevator! When I told him my name, he thought i said King Kong and for a moment the look of child like fascination exploded in his face as he repeated "King Kong!" with a whole lot of Oomph. I might have actually turned into the mighty gorilla in his mind for that fleeting moment. Years later I was introduced to his wonderful wife whose tarot cards i read and also became buddies with his son Jegar. To see the human side of such a hero is a wonderful experience, and I am so glad that I bore witness to such a tale of hope and triumph. I know the rocky road of mental hospitals far too well and have seen many get lost in the minefield, but thankfully Roky made it out and was able to witness the world bow down to him, an honour he absolutely deserved. Goodbye, Sweet Roky here are some of his own words to guide us through this terrible loss.... She lives, no fear Doubtless in everything she knows Through time unchecked, The sureness of her flows. She leaves herself inside you when she goes. She lives in a time of her own... You have always heard her speaking, She's always been in your ear. Her voice sounds a tone within you, Listen to the words you hear. Her time has no past or future, She lives everything she sees. Her time doesn't spin outside here, It's in every breath she breaths. She lives in a time of her own... Her love whips hard Like wind and stands in eager pain. She wins your thoughts And drives your inner planes. She clears and shares A love that never strains. She lives in a time of her own... You have always heard her speaking, She's always been in your ear. Her voice sounds a tone within you, Listen to the words you hear. Her time has no past or future, She lives everything she sees. Her time doesn't spin outside here, It's in every breath she breaths. She lives in a time of her own... Her eyes like light reflect the aura of her hair. She sends, attends, behind an alpha stare. She seeks the stars and spirals up their stairs. She lives in a time of her own. She lives in a time of her own. she lives in a time of her own. she lives in a time of her own.

the amazing art of Floyd D. Tunson.... contemporary artist and buddy of mine...

I spoke to Andre Williams for the first time on the telephone in 1998 to interview him for a newspaper. I remember being so excited to talk to such an R&B legend, and little did I know that I would become such great buddies with him and party with him all over the world for the next 20 years!!! The first phone interview with him was so wild that i swear some of his answers are etched into the fabric of my being.... "Andre, what did the sweetest pussy you ever tasted taste like?" The answer shot out of him instantly without any hesitation, "Honey Dew Melon", "Andre, where was the craziest place you made love?" "I pulled up into what i thought was an empty parking lot and started doing it, and then all of the sudden all these lights came on and a bus load of prisoners stopped right next to my car and could see may bare ass, turns out it was the parking lot of a prison." "Andre, have you ever tried viagra?" He answered this one in third person, "well you see Andre has a tendency to do too much of a good thing, so no I havent tried it yet." "What do you think would happen to you if you OD'd on it?" "Well they would have to bury me in a lidless casket!" Andre was one of the funniest and wildest show men in R&B history, I remember taking him to the Matador in Toronto after a gig and he was mesmerized by the country band that was playing, and we drank till the wee wee hours, when we were leaving the place there was a red convertible cadillac outside the venue, and i told him it was mine and he jumped in the passenger side, the owner of the car came outside right behind us, had a huge mullet and moustache and yells "get the fuck out of my car!" and Andre just jumped out in one fallow swoop and we laughed our way to some house party. Two years later, i have moved to Germany and have a baby on its way, and i go see Andre at a club in Hannover, I meet him again and he remembers me as "Blacksnake" and its about 8pm and he has already drank about half a bottle of vermouth. So i tell him that I am about to have a baby and ask if he has any advice. Then he gets this serious demonic look in his eyes and says, "always remember that as soon as that child sees your face, she will always know who you are!" What that meant I still do not know, but it sounded good the way he said it with such conviction. Many years later I met up with Andre in Chicago, I phoned him around noon and he says "Call me back in an hour, i am getting my prostate checked!" We hang out all afternoon and i tell him about how I had to check into a mental hospital for a bit, then he asks me what meds they gave me and it turns out we had tried all the same drugs! Later that day we ran into Syl Johnson, who was produced by Andre way back in the day, and they hadnt seen eachother in over 30 years, and Syl tries to jump kick Andre and goes "Motherfucker!" and they start smiling and huggin, it was beautiful to see them reunite like that. Andre was always such a character, and I feel truly blessed too be his friend. He touched the hearts of so many people and was reborn so many times in his own lifetime, literally crawling out of the gutter and reclaiming his majesty, thanks to such great people like Billy and Miriam at Norton, Larry Hardy at In The Red, The Demolition Doll Rods, Mick Collins.... I will never forget him and his incredible legacy, as a producer, as a singer, as a song writer, as an author, and as a true pioneer of that raunchy rock n' roll that saved my life. Goodnight Andre, may your journey beyond be as amazing as your entire life. with love, your "ethnic friend" King Khan P.S. this video attached was a completely unrehearsed "jam" we did with Andre in Chicago many moons ago.... though the "song" may not be very tight his charm exudes......
