This photo was taken the last time KC.3 (as I like to call him) came down to the Grotto to pick up the 13th Floor Elevators album I promised to lend him.

Though perhaps not the first Gunn's Grotto Goer that springs to mind, he says he likes to come down here for a bit of respite from his incessant duties, and he digs the sounds, especially the psychedelia and the early blues tracks.

Due to his busy schedule I can't promise he'll be with us tonight, but you never know...

Come down to Gunn's Grotto anyway with me Peter Gunn tonight  - for some 'king great music.

Whilst we're Riding With The King, I'll introduce you to some Kings of Hearts, a King Without A Queen, some King Bees, A Crawling Kingsnake, the King Of The New York Streets, Sleepy King, King Flamingo, King John, King George, King Croesus and a King Of Fools.

Do you know The King Is Half Undressed?

And what exactly is Gnik Nus..?

I don't know if you've heard of it, but

there's a thing called love.

You can fall in it, and you can fall out of it.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, or even if you do, between them tonight's guests in Gunn's Grotto have a huge amount of love experience - and will tell us all about it.

Come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight...to learn about the pompatus of love.

L.O.V.E.

Love's The Thing,
Don't Knock My Love,
Love Means you Never Have To Say You're Sorry,
Got To Have More Love,
It's Love Baby, 24 Hours Of The Day...

If This Is Love (I'd Rather Be Lonely).

Some things, once seen, cannot be unseen and the same applies to things that cannot be unheard,

...and there will be lots of those in Gunn's Grotto tonight.

So, unless you suffer from a nervous disposition and at your own risk, come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight for a two hour freakout...

Screaming Eric, Scat Man Crothers
Adjeef Lekk, The Freak Scene,
The Jackets, The Belfast Gypsies, King Khan And The Shrines, Le Secta, Wyn Varble, The Swamp Rats...
and the XX rated Calico Wall will definitely be joining us with many more possibly dangerous freaks who should really not be roaming the streets.

We're gonna Freak'n'Bug with the Subtle Energies Commission,
and we're almost certain to have a Psychobilly Freakout with the Reverend Horton Heat,

I'm A Living Sickness...
Teedle Dee Teedle Dum.

Did I ever tell you I call my girlfriend's father daddy-O?
And I don't dig squares man...they're a drag.

Tonight the Grotto is rammed with beards, sandals, black roll necks and slacks and we're experimenting with spirituality, drugs and sexuality.

We dig literature, poetry, music and painting, we have an anti-materialistic lifestyle and we reject the conformity and consumerism of the mainstream world.

Weirdsville eh? But if you're hip to this trip come down to Gunn's Grotto with me Peter Gunn tonight - and let me pull your vines.

I'm a beatnik and I'm really hip,
I love to smile with a jerky lip.

Like this choo-choo, just can't wait to
take a trip, take a trip, take a trip, take a trip
to Flipsville.

I'm a Bongo Beating Beatnik, so...

don't bug me baby, just cook.
