The King Khan and BBQ Show arrested for Drug Posession, few surprised

On drugs? Likely.

It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say drugs and The King Khan and BBQ Show are about as divisible as the lateral halves of conjoined twins: Sure, dividing them is possible – hell, even preferable – but its a process dogged by blood and pain, and certainly in the case of the rock duo, a damn sorry sight to see.

So color me and as well as those with similar minds completely unfazed by the recent news of The King Khan and BBQ’s show’s recent arrest.

Pitchfork, via The Kansas City Pitch and The Riverfront Times, reports that the duo and their tour manager were arrested for drug possession in  Hopkinsville, Kentucky (though some reports say it was Oak Point; point considered moot) canceling multiple shows and upsetting at least three dozen drunken fans.

While the drugs in question were simply refereed to by police as “controlled substances” it wouldn’t take too much imagination to figure what the band’s stash consisted of: Certainly cocaine, maybe some mushrooms, and knowing the band’s music, some variation of ground unicorn horn.

Khan and Sultan are current out on bail, but their tour manager continues her stay in Hotel Yardbird, repentant about her suspended license and poorly-hidden narcotics.

The King Khan and BBQ Show’s  recent album, Invisible Girl, is available via In the Red Records.
