MOKB PROFILES : King Khan
King Khan didn’t really fill us in on what’s new, but we can thank Stereogum for keeping us up-to-speed. Looks like the big guy worked out a tag-team with Black Lips and Mark Sultan after the Black Lips boys fled India and ended up crashing at Khan’s abode in Berlin. They recorded 11 tracks at Moon Studios in Berlin and dubbed themselves "The Almighty Defenders."
