New Mark Sultan Jam

Leave a comment

Mark Sultan is the soulful voice behind the BBQ, for those of you that are King Khan fans. But, he’s always been working on his solo stuff, and he’s just announced a new album comes our way on October 12th. Perhaps its the familiarity of his voice, or the fact that his songs always seem steeped in the history of rock n’ roll, but I always find myself coming back to his music. This particular number is like a ghostly Western jaunt, riding the horse that is Sultan’s voice until the song draws to a close. Let Me Out is just a few weeks away.

markThere’s something about the guitar and stomping percussion of Mark Sultan that’s always appealed to me. He, along with his friend King Khan, always manage to blend those old school R&B sounds and give them a little hint of punk and grit…that’s exactly what you’re going to get here. At times, he might settle a bit too much with the chorus, but I’m still stuck playing this song on repeat. I think that’s due to the great little croon he tosses in, such as the moment before the 2 minute mark; it’s a great moment of performance. His new record, BBQ, is coming via In the Red Records on November 25th.

markIt seems like Mark Sultan is always up to something, and I’m grateful that he’s always kicking out tunes. Here we have Mark working on his own, bringing out his percussion stomp and rhythmic riffs to lay the ground work. Of course, it wouldn’t be a BBQ offering if we didn’t get to hear Mark blast those great pipes, hitting on the history of great rock n’ roll sounds. I could just listen to this guy belt em’ out all day long; you’ll be able to hear Mark’s new LP, aptly titled BBQ when it’s released on November 25th via In the Red Records.

Mark Sultan Has a New 7″ Coming

Leave a comment

marksultanMark Sultan probably gets a lot of cred for his work as BBQ, the counterpoint to King Khan, but he’s a pretty solid songwriter in his own write, and rather prolific too. For my two cents, I like the soulful swagger his tunes always carry; this song has a really catchy call-and-response aspect too. Starting off with a bluesy-funk, it smoothes out into a more R&B feel, touched up with a distorted bit of garage feel fleshed out by a little late-track jam. He’s set to embark on a US tour here in a few weeks, including an August Austin date (August 16th @ Barracuda), so be on the look out to see if he’s coming to your city; this track is the B-Side to a forthcoming 7″ from Chompazoid Records.

Alright folks, you’ve got to get on this show!  The rock n’ roll season, at least for traveling bands, is winding down quickly.  In a week full of great shows, this is definitely one that requires your attendance.  A lot of you might know Mark Sultan as BBQ, who used to play with King Khan, but he’s just put out his own sweet little record, Whatever/Whenever, which actually came in a lot of great formats. It’s classic garage rock; it’s the sort that kicked off the whole revisiting of the genre, filled with hooks and dirty guitar playing.  Also, you’ll get a chance to see a lot of great local acts like A Giant Dog and Simple Circuit. It’s definitely a better choice than Morrissey.
