Kula Shaker
Wow, remember Kula Shaker? I didn’t know they were still together*, let alone that they were still touring. Although it’s only a handful of tour dates:
June 2007 Tour Dates
12th – Manchester, Academy 3
13th – London, Hoxton Bar & Grill
15th – London, Bush Hall
16th – Bristol, Thekla
17th – Nottingham, Rescue Rooms
According to that press release, they’re working on their third album, StrangeFolk.
I must admit, I did not bother to get their second album, but I thought their K was pretty good.
Take for instance the eastern/Indian (Asian) influenced track, “Govinda”. I was told sometime in the late 90s that the singer, Crispian Mills, actually did not speak Indian and that he was probably making up the words. Well, in any case, you have to give him some thumbs up for having a massive interest in Indian culture.

The other track was also famous (for Kula Shaker), but they did not pen the original song. It was originally written by Joe South, with that catchy “nah nah nah nah nuh-nah naah” bit.
Trivia: Kula Shaker’s version of “Hush” ended up on “I Know What You Did Last Summer” movie soundtrack.
* I take it back, I did hear something on them a few years ago, but largely ignored it :/
