Arish "King" Khan and Mark "BBQ" Sultan have been partners in punk going on 20 years now, enjoying an open marriage that’s allowed them to indulge passion projects outside their relationship, secure in the knowledge they can always go home again (even as that home has changed from their native Montreal to Berlin). Alas, in the six years that have elapsed since their previous outing as the King Khan & BBQ Show, we’ve seen that even the most lax, non-committal unions can turn tense, with the duo cutting ties after a series of onstage blowups in 2010. And perhaps, not coincidentally, post-breakup, each has ventured further afield from their garage-rock base: Sultan with his eclectic double-album set , Khan with Idle No More, his regal 2013 outing with long-time backing band the Shrines. Their inevitable reunion effort, , thus functions as a form of couples therapy: a reminder of shared values to get them back on the same page again. And, naturally, that page is still covered in blood, spit, sweat, and other bodily fluids best left to a forensics team to verify.
