Named after a holy Asian emperor, Kula Shaker formed in London in the early 90s, influenced by 60s psychedelia and Indian culture, and quickly racked up hit singles including Tattva and a cover of Joe South’s Hush. The band broke up after their second album, Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts.
They re-formed in 2004, and their seventh album, Natural Magick, is out now. Original keyboard player Jay Darlington, who had spells with Oasis then proggers Magic Bus, has also now returned. We caught up with frontman Crispian Mills.
