Vintage Vinyls Jenn DeRose on King Khan on the Riverfront Times blog. King Khan, rock & rolls spiritual leader by way of Montreal, is returning to Off Broadway with psychedelic soul outfit the Shrines on Saturday, June 15, to promote the groups latest, Idle No More. The album takes its name from a 2012 Native American movement to unite tribes for the betterment of their people and the environment. Khans interest in the campaign is personal. My heart really goes out to indigenous people, he says. [Growing up] in Montreal, when my father used to kick me out of the house I would seek refuge at my Mohawk friends house on the reservation. One of my best friends, who recently passed away, was another Mohawk on the reservation. Its really horrible what has happened and keeps happening to the indigenous people. I hope that things change.
