King Khan & the Shrines

Sat., Feb. 4, 11:30pm

Mohawk, 912 Red River, 512/482-8404

Arish Ahmad “King” Khan can’t quite pull off James Brown moves, but his swagger certainly provokes comparisons to the godfather of soul. Accompanied by longtime pals Jacuzzi Boys and heavy on crowd interaction, the now Canadian/German troupe takes Mohawk’s outside stage in a storm of costumes and sequins, the band’s bombastic garage rock working in an homage to guitar licks and Sixties soul brass sections. Not sold yet? There’s a backup dancer. With pom-poms. – Abby Johnston
