In what seems like a match made in heaven, I have fallen in love with the bizarre garage rock that is Tandoori Knights, a band that shares Sonic Masala's penchant for fun, rock and roll, and curry. Conceived by King Khan (what doesnt this guy do???) and Bloodshot Bill, Tandoori Knights have given irreverent, more than slightly racist garage rock a much needed (?) boost in the arm. Curry Up is the name of their newly released LP, out on Norton Records - buy it.
So what is Tandoori Knights all about? Ill let the clearly cuckoo (and awesome) Khan speak for himslef...
"It hit like frightnin' lightnin' - WE MUST BE THE TANDOORI KNIGHTS!...And paint our skins as red as possible...put the IN back into Indian rock'n'roll...just bend over and let the sun shine in!"
Uh-huh... It is good though. Especially the opening 10 seconds of 'Bandstand'...
I just want to say that I've made two family members watch these videos and they, like me, want more Indian garage rock. Even Carter broke out his bop'n'step.
