Kula Shaker

[Whickerman]

YAAAAAY!!!!!

Kula Shaker are back!!

[gary baldy]

As Comic Book guy in The Simpsons would say:
"Worse band ever!"

Silly posh kids with dubious nazi connections!
Rubbish music aswell (and thats putting it mildly)

[Will666]

I thought it was just a rumour. That is a rumour in the worst possible taste.

[Whickerman]

...but...I...like...kula shaker

As for the nazi thing - that was a load of tabloid twaddle. Crispian wanted to reclaim the swastika - it's an ancient sanskrit symbol, hijacked by the nazis. It may have been over ambitious, and a tad naive, but surely well meaning.

It's a never-ending source of shame to me that I actually bought K, their big hit album, when it first came out. No idea what I was thinking - suffice it to say I got through about two-thirds of its first (and last) visit to my CD player through sheer determination and willpower before it beat me. It then sat unloved on a shelf for several years before some mupp...erm...kind person bought it from me for �1.99 on e-bay. You'd have thought I'd sold it for �1million, I was that happy to be shot of it.

Still, each to their own, eh whickerman? :-)

without doing a google search who the frick are Kula Shaker????

Must have been a band when I was out of the country.

Kula Shaker - Most popular at the height of the Britpop boom of the mid-90s, their lead "singer" was one Crispian Mills, son of actress Hayley Mills and grandson of Sir John. Spent half the time dabbling in pseudo-mystical Indian hippy-drippy nonsense, like The Beatles did, only without the talent or excuse of originality. Spent the other half of the time trying to be a "rock" band. Bless. Made Busted look hard. You didn't miss much.

Not talking about the swastika thing (although that was bad enough!) - i'm talking about his mums boyfriend.

[AliFlump]

I liked em, thats my opinion dont care what anyone else says.

[Englishbird]

I don't like them because they remind me of a really bad time with an ex boyfriend. Which has got nothing to do with anything apart from the fact I hope they don't last long.... no offence to the people who do like them, you're entitled to like whomever you choose.

[OBonio]

Saw them at that Oasis thing at Knebworth in 1996. Was very impressed. Came across very well indeed. Bought the album. It's not amazing, but I put it on now and again. Liked their cover of Hush too. Anyone taking Deep Purple to the masses deserves some form recognition.

I'll be keeping an eye out for tour dates. They really were a good live band.

[Supernick]

I saw them at V98 and they weren't on the bill at all. Placebo were due on, and all the slightly mental goth kids had gone up to the front, but no-one amongst the organisers had told anyone that Placebo had actually called off their performance. Who strolls out on stage instead? Kula Shaker. I don't think I've ever seen something as funny as the looks on the Placebo fans faces. It was brilliant, and I remember pogoing around to Hey Dude like there was no tomorrow. They were a bit crap mind...

[Whickerman]

I still fuppin' love 'em.

"Peel A Potato"

[Scarlets]

They suck.

I mean what the hell does

"Tattva, acintya bheda bheda tattva"

pretentious? erm, yep. crap? erm definitely.
