Our old pal mcas takes issue with SF Weekly‘s review of Tuesday night’s Almighty Defenders show. The Almighty Defenders are a rock ‘n’ roll supergroup made up of the Black Lips and the King Khan & BBQ Show. The review sings the praises of the groups individually, but complains that the supergroup was hard to listen to, and that their famously debaucherous stage antics were lackluster. Take it away, mcas:
the reviewer LEFT EARLY and missed the guitarist playing with his dick, then pissing into the mouth of a naked king khan, who sprayed the crowd
and king kahn knocked himself out stage diving naked
…unfortunately, i still havent showered yet.
so, ive got piss and king khans sweat all over me.
me: yikes
mcas: at one point, the guitarist was behind khan, both naked, him riding khan
as for the piss-spray.. hed been spraying whiskey all night.
at least 1 of my friends didnt realize that that spray WASNT whiskey
(it was an all ages show, FYI)
me: nice
any pics?
mcas: im bummed i didnt get any.. but didnt want to drop my phone on the floor with all the piss and whiskey and blood on the floor…
me: word
It’s okay with me if a reviewer skips out on the end of a show; there are no rules here on the internet. But I’m glad we were able to set the record straight regarding so much penis and urine.
Also, the above images are stills from videos shot by screffie, videos we’ve posted after the jump — videos which corroborate SF Weekly’s contention that the band was kind of unlistenable. See for yourself:
omg. i dont blame anyone for leaving the show early! it was a total shit show and their music was a mess. i left after two songs of almighty defenders. even after missing all the antics, i’m still glad i went home early.
they blew up too quick, clearly not yet palatable for the mainstream . . .
I don’t know what you were expecting. Have you heard the Almighty Defenders album? It sounded like the music from the album. Maybe a bit sloppier, but that shit was fun. The song where dude was preaching with the bible was out of hand.
I am so turned on right now.
Wow, the Almighty Defenders are so artistic and don’t give a fuck. They’ll piss in each others mouths and spray it. That must mean they’re edgy. I can’t wait til I get one of their T-Shirts.
Isn’t this what people wanted from the Almighty Defenders? Isn’t the whole point of this to have the Black Lips and King Khan together on the same stage? (I won’t count BBQ, he never was into the stripping on stage or any of that, in fact, he might have been the reason why Khan kept his clothes on through most of the Spaceshits era) The music, who cares. What matters is the other stuff for which they are known. Don’t tell me that whatever excitement there is for this is for the music. It is not! And one more thing. If I were ever in a band with King Khan I would order him to keep his clothes on.
