“What Is?!” is finally getting a proper domestic release on April 21, so the fabulous, mesmerizing, awe-inspiring King Khan and The Shrines are once again returning to our shores, bringing their frantic brand of psychedelic soul insanity to the youth of America. This tour will take them through the heart of the south, SXSW, and they’ve expanded their schedule to take them through the east and west coasts in April and May, Including a stop at the Sasquatch festival in the heart of Washington state. The band left many folks scratching their heads, picking their jaws up off the floor, and tearing up dollar bills as a sign of unity after their first tour of the US last year after mindblowers at the Pitchfork festival and dates all across the country. Most didn’t even know what hit them. King Khan and The Shrines are doing it all over again, and everyone will be thankful they did. Tour dates below…
