The King Khan & BBQ Show didn’t show up for their nearly sold-out gig last night in St. Louis (original openers Those Darlins and Deer Tick’s John McCauley filled in nicely), apparently because they got lost in the backwoods of the Bluegrass State and had a run-in with the law.

Trooper John Hawkins of the Kentucky State Police says the duo, along with tour manager Kristin Klein, were stopped sometime yesterday afternoon in Oak Grove, Kentucky.

Khan & BBQ + Those Darlins are playing next Tuesday @ the Troubadour.
