Creature Comforts With JOSH From KHAN

Creature Comforts With JOSH From KHAN

Interview by Kris Peters
Melbourne heavy psychedelic metal outfit Khan are riding high on the back of their new album Creatures which came out back in February of this year.
After having their momentum stalled - as with the rest of the world - during the pandemic, Khan rushed straight back out on the road as soon as they were able, quickly completing a 22 date tour that saw them reconnect with their fans and helped them rediscover a new passion for music.
The band has almost completed another Australian tour to promote Creatures, which this weekend sees them appear at the Nowhere Festival at Brisbane's Mansfield Tavern alongside Frankenbok, Dreamkillers, Vulgarite and more before finishing the run with an album launch in their hometown of Melbourne at the Howler on June 3.
Guitarist Josh Bills joined HEAVY to talk about this weekend's show and tales of life on the road.
"It's a pretty killer lineup," he nodded when asked about Nowhere Festival. "I don't know many of the bands, but I had a listen through and very excited to see a lot of it live."
We ask what fans can expect from Khan at the show.
"Songs from each of the albums," he offered. "We've unfortunately changed tunings (laughs) quite a lot throughout our music, so we have to try and put a set together that doesn't change too much and make it work. It's a bit of a hassle, but keeps it interesting."
In the full interview Josh talks more about Khan's live show, the tour so far and how it's been going, three songs people should listen to by way of introduction to the band, their upcoming album launch show, the reception to latest album Creatures, why and how it is their "heaviest, darkest and most dynamic album to date", if they will continue down that path for future music, plans to tour Europe and the UK and more.
