The Sultanic Verses is out NOW!!! on In The Red Records

"Mark Sultan, better known as BBQ of one-man band and King Khan & BBQ Show fame, has been pounding out his own stew of R&B, rockabilly, garage, doo wop, psychedelia, punk and whatnot since he was a mere child fronting Montreal's Spaceshits. Releasing a slew of albums and touring relentlessly, Sultan has established quite a reputation as a songsmith and vocalist of the highest caliber.
On Sultanic Verses, he ups the ante and fleshes out his normally stripped down approach ... just a bit.
While still retaining the rawness of his previous endeavors, Sultanic Verses features accompaniment from backing musicians and (gasp!) the odd overdub here and there. Sultanic Verses mines the same territory of vintage era rock styles of his previous recordings, yet he stretches the boundaries to areas his musical endeavors have never gone. The ghosts of the Velvet Underground as well as Sam Cooke cannot be ignored here. Like all of the records with which Sultan has been involved, Sultanic Verses sounds out of time and timeless."

dates for march (although i will update the last few soon):

as for russia, the invite is always there, but we have decided to do it another time. we are constantly playing and don't wanna go there and have it be just a few shows at the end of 3 months of touring. so it breaks our hearts to delay it.

in other news, check out some new songs from my (Mark Sultan) new album 'The Sultanic Verses' by going here: www.myspace.com/marksultan and adding yourself. and you can also check some other tunes out on this site in a few days. the album is due out on In The Red in April.

till next time,
BBQ

Check the Tour section for frequent updates. I start it out solo, then hook up with my pal King Khan for the last while. Speaking of all that, my new album 'Tie Your Noose' on Bomp! should be in your mitts RIGHT NOW! If not, buy or die! And both verisons of the 'King Khan & BBQ Show' LP/CD should be out and about in the next couple of weeks. Touted as a gem, I would actually concur!!! Get the music and attend the shows, SVP.

February 17, 2005 - Hey! My morals are corrupted and my pride hurts as i tell you that you can watch The King Khan & BBQ Show video for 'Fish Fight' here. Speaking of The King Khan & BBQ Show, we are up at myspace.com: http://www.myspace.com/thekingkhanbbqshow. Embarrassing.

February 13, 2005 - Both me and King Khan would like to thank everyone who came to the shows on the US tour. We had a REALLY good time. Hope everyone else did, too. And thanks for diggin on the new 'King Khan & BBQ Show' record. We wanna thank in particular Goner Records and The Night Terrors, but we also really really wanna thank the many people who helped out and bands we played with and whatever. The first Goner press of the record on clear vinyl seems to be gone, but the next press will be done soon. The version on Hazelwood is due out in the next month or so. 
Also, my new record (as BBQ), 'Tie Your Noose' is out NOW on Bomp! Records. Go git it. The first vinyl run is on bblue vinyl, fer all you nerds. Soon  enough, I'll be putting up some weird video niblets: the new KK&BBQ video for 'Fish Fight', one for 'Waddlin' Around', some assorted live stuff, some Spaceshits TV stuff, a Sexareenos video, etc... Keep an eye out.
Hey! I will be on tour as BBQ and with King Khan in Europe for a few months this summer. If you wanna know the dates, I'll post em soon. If you wanna try to book us, contact Robert at kissnrun.com. And as for the record giveaways, I'm working on it as I sit here. Thanks to all who wrote. I'll choose randomly.

January 17, 2005 - The new MP3s have been posted in the Music section.

January 13, 2005 - Ok. 'The King Khan & BBQ Show' tour starts next Wednesday. Check the Shows section for a show near you. By early next week, there will be 13 MP3s available in the Music section, so come back if you wanna hear em. I'll also be giving away copies of the new BBQ album on Bomp, the BBQ 7" on Goodbye Boozy, the Sympathetic Sounds of Montreal, the Sultan Records comp, and the new King Khan & BBQ album on Goner as soon as I get back from the tour. You just gotta e-mail me. I'll pick at random. For any other news, just read the stuff below this. See ya on tour.

January 9, 2005 - Welcome to my new website. This time, it’s real. Thanks a lot to val for making it possible. Anyway, as you can see by the address, this site is gonna be more about what I’m currently up to in all sorts of bands and stuff, rather than concentrating on just one thing or whatever. Yup…

So, here’s the latest news: As far as my one-man band BBQ goes, the new LP/CD on Bomp! Records is due out February 6th. Check out a couple of MP3s in the Music section. And if you haven’t seen the new BBQ single on Goodbye Boozy, you might want to pick it up according to these reviews. The debut King Khan & BBQ Show LP/CD is due out sometime in January on Goner Records in the US, while a slightly different version will be available throughout Europe on Hazelwood Records. Both versions should be available worldwide according to each label’s distribution. You can listen to a couple of tracks from the record in the Music section, as well as a few demo cuts that were recently floating around Soulseek. You can also expect a single of older stuff on Solid Sex Lovie Doll under the original moniker of ‘BBQ & Blacksnake’. It’s due out very soon, apparently. And, according to Long Gone John, the long-awaited 3rd ‘album’ from Les Sexareenos will be available on CD in March on Sympathy For The Record Industry. 28 songs! Too much rock n’ roll!! Speaking of SFTRI, I’m pretty sure the Sympathetic Sounds of Montreal CD is available everywhere by now. Lots of great stuff on it from great bands. And there’s the two last Sexareenos songs, two old BBQ tracks, and I also appear playing drums for the incredible Sunday Sinners. Pictures of all these monster releases are available in the Music section, where I tried to put most every release I’ve been on since The Spaceshits. Maybe I’ll even put some songs up, too. What can I say… I’m bored.

The King Khan & BBQ Show will be on a tour of the US & Canada this January and February. The dates are all confirmed, and are posted in the Shows section. Up soon will also be the upcoming European dates for both BBQ and The King Khan & BBQ Show. If you wanna book either ‘band’, e-mail me.

Lastly, the stuff I did a few months back with Jack Oblivian and Jeff Meier will be completed in January while on tour in Memphis. I dunno what will become of it all, but I’ll put a couple of songs up soon.

So look around, steal some songs, read some lies, write some insults, buy some crap and enjoy.
