Mark Sultan
"Mark Sultan... Have you heard this name before? One half of the King
Khan & BBQ Show and the 'infamous' BBQ one man band. Singer/guitarist of
Mind Controls. Drummer/singer of Les Sexareenos. Singer of The
Spaceshits. Collaborator with The Deadly Snakes, Jack Oblivian and
conspirator with The Demon's Claws. Treasurer of the Death Cult (along
with Khan, the Demon's Claws, The Black Lips, The Spits and The Gris
Gris). Owner of Sultan Records. He's toured the world several times over
as a musical vagabond of missionary proportions. Ring a bell? He's been
called everything from 'our generation's Gerry Roslie' to 'a visionary
with the voice of an angel' and 'a true rock'n'roll hero'. The Sultanic
Verses, his first album as 'Mark Sultan', lets him live up to these
heady statements and beyond. Foregoing the one man, live recording style
he perfected as 'BBQ' for the most part, Sultan decided to do an album
recording many of the instruments himself and inviting friends to fill
in the gaps. Recorded in Berlin and Montreal, the results are perfect.
Proving his reputation as one of the world's finest rock'n'roll singers
and songwriters, but also expanding his repertoire by throwing
experimental, psychedelic and punk rock into his trademark mix of RnB,
garage, soul and REAL rock'n'roll. The Sultanic Verses is 11 songs of
creative genius that sets a new standard. A juke-box blowout of styles
and effortless hits with NO FILLER AT ALL. Fans of great music in
general, rejoice. AN ABSOLUTE KILLER."
