That right there is a picture of Deer Tick singer John McCauley in drag out in St. Louis last night, where he filled in for the King Khan & BBQ Show after the duo was apparently arrested (yup!) somewhere between Nashville and Missouri. McCauley himself was a surprise guest, there on the low to support his girlfriend Nikki Darlin, whose band Those Darlins are presently on tour with King Khan. Who again, didn't show up. Confused? Us too--a full accounting of this bonkers evening, courtesy of our Riverfront Times sister paper, over here.
