“I think this career choice was a lot smarter than boxing,” says Arish “King” Khan, frontman of the retro soul-punk outfit King Khan & the Shrines. “I definitely chose a better type of brain damage,” he says. Besides playing with the Shrines, King Khan also plays alongside good friend Mark Sultan (aka BBQ) in the two-piece, doo-wop punk band The King Khan & BBQ Show, and recently hooked up with Black Lips to record an album.
