Woo! Yeah! Awright! Should you dare step into the strange world of King Khan & BBQ Show or King Khan and the Shrines on their European tours, expect exultations like these-- and a fair number of retro-minded rock'n'roll psych-outs-- to rattle around in your brain for days afterward.

Khan and his various collaborators will follow up a trio of previously reported Irish gigs with an all-out assault on Europe, barreling through February, March, and half of April. UPDATE: Looks like a summer U.S. tour is coming together as well.

Care to catch a glimpse what you've been missing? Check out this way trippy photo set posted in these pages Monday and, like, see the music, man.
