King Khan is also The Blacksnake, his moniker from The Spaceshits days, and this a great trashy psychedellic punk rock one-off LP with Jasper Hood (of German punk band Moorat Fingers) recorded when Blacksnake roamed over to Berlin, before The King Khan & BBQ Show came to be. This 2001 LP has finally been released, mastered by Crypt Records founder Tim Warren. The 12 songs are all great, and of course funny. Although they set out to make ‘77 punk songs, The Black Jaspers’ songs are as fresh as the day they were made in Khan’s own Moon Studios, due to Khan’s witty lyrics and the duo’s youthful energy. I don’t think Khan gets naked to dance as much anymore but he’s welcome to teabag my momma any day he feels squirrelly! (Bob Scott)
