Comprised of members of <a href="spotify:artist:35C0NSLogAwImm8HAMqEmG">the Black Lips</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:4n0gvapwYbRpzU5Ov68B6P">the King Khan & BBQ Show</a>, the Almighty Defenders are a garage rock supergroup, loosely rooted in gospel. On <a href="spotify:artist:35C0NSLogAwImm8HAMqEmG">the Black Lips</a>' 2009 tour of India, following an incident at a particularly rowdy show in which a bandmember kissed a fellow bandmember and exposed himself on-stage, <a href="spotify:artist:35C0NSLogAwImm8HAMqEmG">the Lips</a> fled the country hastily while rumors of their arrests circulated. The tour was abandoned and, without a place to stay, the group members shacked up with <a href="spotify:artist:5zExg5Z9MmcUh2B2K93bbs">Erick Khan</a> (aka <a href="spotify:artist:5zExg5Z9MmcUh2B2K93bbs">King Khan</a>), who was living in Berlin at the time. Jam sessions commenced, and in the course of eight days, in a typically booze-sloppy <a href="spotify:artist:35C0NSLogAwImm8HAMqEmG">Black Lips</a> fashion, they laid down 11 tracks with <a href="spotify:artist:5zExg5Z9MmcUh2B2K93bbs">Khan</a> and his bandmate <a href="spotify:artist:1GQkBtj9Z4YrXVu6WKy28X">Mark Sultan</a> (aka BBQ). On June 17, the full group made its live debut, performing a set in choir robes at the North by Northeast festival, and Vice Records made plans to release the Almighty Defenders' self-titled debut on September 22, 2009. ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi
