The raw as an open sore, psycho-soul duo known as King Khan & BBQ Show were scheduled to play Lawrence, KS tonight, November 13 at the Jackpot Saloon (943 Massachusetts) with cute country-punkers Those Darlins and local favorites The Spook Lights. This was your chance to catch one of the most outrageous live music experiences in the known world, and on Friday the 13th no less. But alas King Khan and BBQ Show portion of the show is canceled because according to the band’s booking agent Sam Hunt of the Windish Agency, King Khan and BBQ are “stuck in Christin County, Kentucky for time being” after being arrested en route to a St. Louis gig they never made. No word on what the band is being charged with as of yet. Believe us Lawrence, we’re every bit as bummed you.
But it’s not all bad news, because Jessi Darlins of the Those Darlins says “we’re still planning on playin’ the craziest fuckin’ show in hopes of lifting any KKBBQ fans spirits and keepin’ this badass tour on the move. We are so proud to be playing with this band and just want to keep the tour rollin.’” Also, Jessi’s fiance John McCauley of Deer Tick is going to fill in till King Khan & BBQ Show can get this sorted out. Tickets for the KKBBQ-less version of the show are $7 and starts at 10pm, 18+
If you already bought a ticket, Up To Eleven will be giving out refunds at the “point of purchase.”

I don’t think one gets arrested in Kentucky on purpose.
