oronto is a busy place. With restaurants and bars opening and closing everyday, concerts being performed nonstop, and news developing faster than it can be reported, it's hard to stay afloat.

Why, you ask, am I buzzing you about a band you've probably never heard of? That's simple: if you haven't heard of them, you should. King Khan, a former resident of Montreal and current resident of Berlin, puts on one hell of a live show. And he's playing both tonight and tomorrow, so I guess you could say he'll put on two hells of a live show (can hell be pluralized?). Think the Rolling Stones in their prime, but fronted by a man of Iggy Pop's maniacal potential. Now add about a bucket of sweat and you've got King Khan. For some, this might sound disgusting, but I, for one, prefer some excitement in live music. From jumping into the audience and singing in the face of confused patrons, to taking off his shirt and exposing his pregnant man-belly, King Khan brings the excitement. Just ask anyone who attended last year's North by Northeast performance. For those who enjoy 60s style garage rock, this is a can't miss. King Khan plays both tonight and tomorrow night at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern.
