ConcertsNamed after a 9th century Indian saint and poet king, Kula Shaker seemed to have always existed in an alternate reality. Emerging in the midst of Britpop’s lad-culture swagger and retrograde cool, Kula Shaker appeared like a luminous anomaly - flooded with Sanskrit and sitar-drenched feedback. Fronted by the spiritually restless Crispian Mills, the band carved out their own mystical counter-narrative, fusing British psychedelia and eastern mysticism that felt less like a gimmick and more like an invocation.
Kula Shaker was formed in London in 1988. The band has been active since 1995 and plays psychedelic rock. The members include Alonza Bevan, Jay Darlington, and Krispian Mills. They are signed to Columbia Records. More about the artist
