King Khan might rightfully be accused of attempting to earn the title of hardest working performer in show business. Following a year that saw the release of three albums and several tours of the U.S., Europe, and beyond with multiple musical outlets, Khan is bringing the celebrated psychedelic soul big band explosion King Khan & The Shrines back to North America.
The three week run of dates, which start in Atlanta and culminate at Coachella on April 18, mark their first jaunt in the States since last year’s tour in support of the domestic release of the band’s classic What Is?! album on Vice Records.
Those who have seen the band know what to expect, but to the uninitiated: be ready for a sweat soaked stage being rocked into a psychedelic oblivion as a sonic pastiche of horns, drums, bass, guitar, and organ weave a gritty soul canvas for Khan to splatter with his infectious persona.

SIGNS WITH DEAD OCEANS RECORDS
 |
When fans lined up to see the sold out Bon Iver performances at New York City’s Town Hall in late 2008, few of them went with any expectations of the opening act. Emerging from this slot was the The Tallest Man On Earth, a voice and songwriter that intrigued and captivated.
Earlier in the year, The Tallest Man on Earth had released one of 2008′s most powerful records, Shallow Grave – one that Pitchfork praised, calling Kristian Matsson (who is The Tallest Man on Earth) “a natural-born folksinger, earnest, clever, and comforting.” Shallow Grave could not have been simpler, just Matsson’s commanding vocals with an acoustic guitar or banjo, recorded at his home in Dalarna, Sweden.
The Tallest Man On Earth will release his highly-anticipated follow up, The Wild Hunt, April 13 on his new label, Dead Oceans. For a taste of the new 10-song collection, download “King of Spain” here.
It is impossible to discuss The Tallest Man on Earth’s music without acknowledging Bob Dylan. The seemingly effortlessness, the melodic sensibility and the deft lyricism all recall Dylan’s early years. But when you witness the Tallest Man on Earth perform live; you are watching a man possessed. The energy pours out with every word. Full of intensity and raw emotion, he paces the stage, bringing the audience into the palm of his hand, completely lost in his songs.
