Montreal, Canada (2002 – 2010)
The King Khan & BBQ Show was a Canadian garage rock duo from Montreal, Quebec that existed from roughly 2002 up until an incident at the group’s massive Sydney Opera House show in early-June, 2010. The band was comprised of former The Spaceshits bandmates Mark Sultan and Blacksnake, but included live drummer/organist Leo Chips for a short spurt of shows on the 2009 Invisible Girl U.S. tour. Mark Sultan, under the pseudonym BBQ, contributed vocals, guitar, tambourine, bass drum, and snare drum; while Blacksnake, currently using the pseudonym King Khan, provided lead guitar and vocals.
Both BBQ and King Khan had previously collaborated together while the two were members of the Montreal-based Spaceshits, however, following a European tour, Blacksnake (the then-current alias of King Khan) opted to remain in Germany on a permanent basis, resulting in the ultimate breakup of the Spaceshits, who chose not to continue without Blacksnake. Following the breakup of the Spaceshits, Mark Sultan started another Montreal-based band, Les Sexareenos, before venturing off on his own as a one-man band under the pseudonym BBQ. It was as BBQ that Mark Sultan re-established contact with Blacksnake, playing alongside Blacksnake’s new band, King Khan & The Shrines. The two began writing songs together at Blacksnake’s apartment in Germany, playing them live at sporadic shows around Germany and Spain.
In 2004 the band recorded their first album as The King Khan & BBQ Show, releasing The King Khan & BBQ Show in America on Goner Records, and on Hazelwood Records in Europe. The album was recorded by DM Bob in Hamburg, Germany.

After reading Khan's statement, I feel like they could have broken up years ago over how many creams they wanted in their coffee.

A few of my friends were at the Opera House shows in Sydney and said the show was like a car crash. I saw them & Almighty Defenders a couple of months before that in Berlin and the vibe was completely different. Everyone was getting along and they seemed like the best of friends. Sucks! They were such a good band.

Wow. I glanced at the years active last night and thought for sure "-2010" simply meant "-Present," at first...until I read the bio revisions. Sad news. Can't really say it's shocking, I guess, but very sad. Obviously, it'd be cool if they get back together someday. Regardless, I'm grateful for their past output. Incredible stuff.
