Kula Shaker

KULA SHAKER. English psychedelic group who first came to prominence during the post Brit-Pop era of the late 1990s. The band enjoyed commercial success in the UK between 1996 and 1999, notching up a number of Top10 hits on the UK singles chart  including ; "Tattva" / "Hey Dude" / Govinda / Hush and "Sound of Drums". Their debut album K reached No1 in the UK album chart. They are known for their interest in traditional Indian music, culture & mysticism with a number of their most famous songs featuring lyrics in Sanskrit. The name Kula Shaker was itself inspired by King Kulasekhara, an Indian emperor from the 8th century. Kula Shaker disbanded in September 1999, but reformed in 2004 for sessions for the School of Braja album which led to plans for a full comeback, although the reformation was not widely publicised until the beginning of 2006. The band's third album  Strangefolk was issued in 2007 and their fourth Pilgrims Progress was released in 2010 ....
