Kula Shaker are a British Rock band who emerged from the post Britpop era. Named after the Ninth Century emperor of the same name, their 1996 debut album K showcased a different approach than their contemporaries, with a sound inspired by 60s Psychedelic Rock and World Music and lyrics influenced by Hindu Spiritualism. After a brief hiatus from 1999 to 2006, they reformed and are still active today.Current line-up: Crispian Mills - vocals, guitar (1993–1999, 2006-) Alonza Bevan - bass (1993–1999, 2006–) Paul Winter-Hart - drums (1993–1999, 2006–) Harry Broadbent - keyboards (2006–)Former members: Jay Darlington - organ, keyboards (1993-1999) Saul Dimont - vocals (1993)Studio discography: K (1996) Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts (1999) Strangefolk (2007) Pilgrims Progress (2010) K 2.0 (2016) 1st Congregational Church Of Eternal Love (And Free Hugs) (2022) Natural Magick (2024)

Putting the Band Back Together: After a seven year break, the members of Kula Shaker decide to tour and record together again. The only exception was keyboardist Jay Darlington, who declined to rejoin. He was instead replaced by Harry Broadbent.

Shout-Out
 Kula Shaker (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: "Grateful When You're Dead/Jerry Was There" is of course a reference to The Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia. Apparently, they were recording the former part of the song when Jerry Garcia passed away. The band members felt his presence in the studio, which is recounted in the latter part on the song. The song "Peter Pan RIP" from Pilgrims Progress. In the music video for "Mystical Machine Gun", one man is seen dressed as Kato.

Cover Version: Their song "Govinda" is actually a traditional Hindu song. They've also covered "Hush" by Deep Purple, "Ballad Of A Thin Man" by Bob Dylan, "Gimme Some Truth" by John Lennon and..."I'm Against It" by Groucho Marx, of all things. The Jeevas, Crispian's Solo Side Project, also covered "I'm Gonna Get Me A Gun" by Cat Stevens.
