Our music is easy to listen to, nothing complicated, just great, positive tunes, obviously influenced by core bands like the Beatles, Oasis, and the Stone Roses. But for me personally, we are all about the songs.

"Yea definitely, the industry’s a bit too squeaky clean, and has been for quite a bit now. Hopefully we can give it a kick up the arse. Especially with The Stones Rose(sic), and Noel Gallaghers new albums sort of taking off quite big, hopefully it will be a big surge and not just one band – a movement bringing guitar bands back. Hopefully we can be involved in that." Tom from The Modern Faces.

this reminds me of an email to the channel 4 teletext music pages circa 2001 in which someone complained about LADS pouring a plastic cup of piss on them at an oasis show, the way their audience comprised an awkward mixture of LADS and provincial ~indie~ dorks with extensive collections of SFA albums
so i look at these and try to imagine whether they would be pouring the piss or having pissed poured on them, except that i suspect the dialectic resolved itself somehow

These days, as anyone who has seen them in the flesh could tell you, Kula Shaker’s live shows are less like gigs than bona-fide happenings… communal gatherings of like-minded souls where the bilateral flow of positive energy feels powerful enough to levitate the Royal Albert Hall.
Named after a 10th century south-Indian poet King, Kula Shaker, carried their royal flag of retro freakery and spiritual sonics to the toppermost of the poppermost during the heady days of Britpop, with songs like ‘Tattva’ and ‘Hush’ and from the multi-platinum selling album ‘K’. Fast forward to present day, and 2024 sees the band ride out once again, mystical-machine-guns-a-blazing, with the release of ‘Natural Magick’ — their 7th studio album.
Kula Shaker’s timely reboot seems in no small part due to one key development, which Kula konnoisseurs have long dreamed about — the return of Hammond organ wizard Jay Darlington after a decade with Oasis and various Gallaghers. Now the four original members of the band’s classic line-up: Crispian Mills (guitar) Alonza Bevan (bass) and Paul Winter Hart (drums) — are reunited for the first time since 1999’s ‘Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts’, and with a 13-track album featuring some of their best songs to date, the band look set to scale the dizzy heights once more.

every current member of Kula Shaker has their own individual wikipedia page, which seems like overkill
Paul Winter-Hart (born 19 September 1971) is the drummer for the English band Kula Shaker.[1] He grew up in East Pennard, Somerset, and is noted for being reserved in interviews.[2]
― soref, Saturday, 10 February 2024 15:04 (seven months ago) link
Oh we share a birthday. East Pennard isn't too far away either. I'm finding this almost interesting.
Funniest bit on the Kula page: Mills commented in 2016, "The musical styles on K are mainstream now. [In 1996] people didn't know how to understand it or where to place it, so all that was left to do was deride it."[22]

The front guy looks like he's one of those poncy post-Bad Seeds Londons band from the 90s - whose fanbase didn't stretch much further than Camden High Street. The three guys at the back look like they're from a different band entirely. Anyway, they're American so I don't see how they qualify for this thread.
