Gonzo garage maniacs King Khan & BBQ Show offer the aural equivalent to a drunken hook-up: short, weird, messy. Bad News Boys ends a six-year hiatus since 2009’s Invisible Girl and finds both Khan and Mark “BBQ” Sultan once again spinning unhinged madness, from the deranged doo-wop of “Alone Again” and “Buy Bye Bhai” to the paranoid speed rock of the Conan O’Brien-inspired “Zen Machines.” The duo flips off Montezuma’s revenge on hardcore freak-out “D.F.O.” (“Diarrhea fuck off!”) and crunch, crunch, crunches the positively silly “Snackin’ After Midnight.” Hooch-fueled hook-up fun that doesn’t have to make sense. (7:40pm, Yellow stage)
