Kottonmouth Kings’ Daddy X on weed, the perception of his band, and Mile High

Though 4/20 isn’t until next week, Kottonmouth Kings roll through Kansas City this weekend. The weed-loving California act plays the Midland Friday, April 13, with co-headliners Twiztid and openers Blaze and Big B. Frontman Brad “Daddy X” Xavier has been playing these parts for a long time – going all the way back to his punk band, Doggy Style, rocking the Crossing near the KU campus back in the late ’80s. We spoke with Daddy X about Kottonmouth Kings’ history, the way they’re perceived and – of course – their views on the sticky green.
