Feeding People

Lucky me got to witness the legendary King Khan and The BBQ Show at The Constellation Room with my co-host, DJ Meow Mix, on an obviously typical thursday night. We knew the night was going to be interesting from the second we approached the venue, realizing that there was another show happening on the bigger stage of The Observatory on the same night. It was 2 Chainz. So there were a lot of people there dressed in clubbing attire. It was pretty apparent who was there for 2 Chainz and who was there for King Khan. 
When we made our way The Constellation Room, we were wondering who the opening bands were, since it did not say anything on the event page. We found out Tashaki Miyaki and Feeding People were the openers. It was my first time seeing Tashaki Miyaki, and I was very impressed. The drummer was singing melodic and sad songs that really touched the heart. But there were two girls right at the front of the stage talking very loudly which was very rude. They also did not look like the typical King Khan fans, so we were a little worried the girls were at the wrong stage...we were right. So my co-host and I told them that 2 Chainz was playing at the bigger stage. That was the funniest part of the night, even though I felt really bad because they were rude and did not respect Tashaki Miyaki during their set. Feeding People also played a great set, as usual. The crowd was warming up and getting ready for a body moving dancey time.

King Khan & The BBQ Show

When King Khan and The BBQ Show came on stage, they were wearing these lovely little numbers that just foreshadowed what was about to come...absolute craziness, which was exactly what happened. Their up beat funky rock ‘n roll songs got everyone in the dancing mood and people went wild. Everyone felt the energy from King Khan’s sweat dripping all over the audience. It sounds gross, but it was beautiful. When he took off his shoes, a girl in the audience started to put her fingers through his toes and even attempted to lick them. All in all, it was a great show, and we left smiling.
