Houston based soul funk trio Khruangbin are coming to Stubb’s BBQ on Saturday, May 30th! The tickets for the show went pretty quickly, so due to popular demand, they will be playing another show the day before on the 29th for fans who weren’t able to get tickets for their original show date. These events are for all ages and doors will open at 7:00pm on both nights then the show will start an hour later at 8:00pm. The advanced general admission tickets for the 29th are currently going for $37.50 so jump on those while you still can! You can also get them at the door for $42.50 if that’s more your style.
Khruangbin is formed by Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar and Donald “DJ”Johnson on drums. If you’re wondering what that hard to pronounce band name actually means, it’s Thai for airplane, or more literally “engine fly”. The globetrotting Texan trio’s music is heavily influenced by Thai rock and funk from the 60s and 70s as displayed on their debut 2015 album The Universe Smiles Upon You. They also possess a multitude of other influences ranging from surf rock to dub to Iranian pop like what we hear in 2018’s Con Todo El Mundo. As of late, Khruangbin has been basking in the success of their EP Texas Sun, a 4-track compilation of songs featuring the soulful vocals of Leon Bridges. What an incredible collaboration! The EP was released earlier this year.
Khruangbin never seems to disappoint, so if you’re into the idea of smooth instrumental rock music mixed with elements of soul funk and modern psychedelia, this performance is definitely for you.
