Jessi D writesCHIRP Radio Welcomes King Khan and the Shrines to Bottom Lounge on Wednesday, October 23rd!

CHIRP welcomes the antics of garage rock/punk psychedelic soul King Khan and the Shrines to Bottom Lounge. Originally based in Montreal and now headquartered in Berlin, The Supreme Genius of King Khan and His Sensational Shrines had been releasing an album almost yearly from 2000-2008. After a five-year hiatus, Khan is back with Idle No More, a mature, cinematic, and decidedly darker offering. With tracks focusing on the deaths of three close friends (Jay Reatard among them) and an ode to his wife for helping him through his time of need and breakdown, Idle No More is a bit different than the albums Khan was putting out in his 20s. Still, I have little doubt that Khan will still have several costume changes and be left shirtless at some point during the show.

Also appearing are psych-terror fuzzy 60's rock band Hell Shovel, and Chicago's own catchy, melodic noise-pop Heavy Times.

Doors @ 7 / Show @ 8 / 17+
