King Khan & BBQ Show at Off Broadway

The King Khan & BBQ Show's new album Invisible Girl, which was released November 3 on L.A. garage punk label In The Red Records, is hyper-stylized vintage rock & roll at its unpretentious and inspired best. The record seamlessly shifts between frantic, three-chord '80s-punk screaming and the sort of syrup-sweet guitar licks and crooned "Babys" and "Darlins" that made the kids at the '50s sock-hop go wild. It's untamed, it's unpredictable, and it's unlike virtually all the other flavor-of-the-month retro acts. It's not surprising, then, that when Khan lets slip one of his true muses, it's the inventor of rock and roll himself: Chuck Berry. "He's one of my biggest heroes," Khan says. "His guitar playing, his songwriting, the fact that in 1984 he could get 'My Ding-a-Ling' on the charts. We keep his spirit very alive in our music. I'd love to meet him and shake his hand."
