Kottonmouth Kings weren’t held up by a bank robber, but they certainly encountered one! While enjoying a day off in Chicago, IL California based rip-hop hybrids the Kottonmouth Kings were woken by a bank robber fleeing the scene of the crime. The robber was passing by the Kottonmouth Kings tour bus parked outside the House of Blues, just the stolen funds he was carrying exploded with red bank dye covering the side of the bus and members of the Kottonmouth Kings crew.
The band commented about the bizarre situation:
“I stepped off the bus and this huge pile of money and red smoke comes flying at me right when I opened the door,” said Kottonmouth Kings stage manager The Taxman. “I thought I was lucky and then all the sudden ‘poof’ this cloud of red smoke came up and hit me, while some guy took off running because apparently he robbed a bank. This was our first day off after thirteen nights in a row so I was kinda out of it.”
After riding a wave of success with counterculture icons The Kottonmouth Kings that included hitting #39 on the Billboard Top 200, headlining this year’s Cannabis Cup, and gracing the cover of High Times magazine, the dynamic duo of D-Loc and Johnny Richter have returned to wreak havoc once again on March 10th, 2009 with their first ever live album entitled “Throw Your Spades Up”. The set will include both a CD and DVD version of Kingspade’s now legendary performance at Hollywood’s legendary Key Club, where the group performed tracks from their self-titled debut and sophomore effort, “P.T.B”. The album will also include a bonus disc containing a brand new studio album from D-Loc’s side-project Shakey Bonez entitled “Dog Treats Featuring George”.
Shakey Bonez is the DJ alter ego of Kottonmouth Kings/Kingspade frontman D-Loc. Showcasing his impressive skills scratching on the turntables, Shakey Bonez allows D-Loc to roam into uncharted territories by revealing and his thirst for ambient side. Shakey new studio album entitled, “Dog Treats Featuring George”, features guest appearances from Pakelika on “It’s Working” and Sub Noize alumni Judge D on the track “South Park”.
