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]

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]

Pretty sure these belong on one of the "lads that sound like The Blue Nile" threads rather than this one
― wang mang band (Noodle Vague), Friday, 16 February 2024 19:26 (seven months ago) link
they do look more like they are going for a pouty 80's art student band aesthetic more than being the lads

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.

an understandable mistake from The Scum
Nice of The Sun to announce that @FatWhiteFamily have split up, even though they haven't.They've also illustrated it with a truly beautiful photo of (I think?) Catfish & The Bottlemen.#dontbuythesunhttps://t.co/FjTNywftxu— Benjamin Myers (@BenMyers1) April 30, 2024
