Kula Shaker

I've been a huge fan of Kula Shaker since the mid-90s, then enjoyed the two albums Crispian Mills did with The Jeevas, and have loved the band's work back together in the 2000s & '10s. Seeing them live (my first time) was a longtime coming, and it was well worth the wait. The band played with an intense passion throughout. Every track was tremendous. None of their best ones were left out with just one exception: "Into the Deep," which is a personal favorite. But that hardly detracted from the memorable evening I had.

I was not sure what to expect after all these years. I go to shows weekly and these guys blew everyone away with great songs - performance and 'energy'! The newer songs fit in perfectly with the material from the late 90's. Go Kula!!!!

I have been waiting to see this band for a long time. I always checked their tours on my trips to the UK to no avail. Finally, thanks to the app songkick I learned they were to perform in the Boston area. For me it was an unforgettable experience. All my favorite songs in their setlist. Years have passed since they were at their peak but performance was amazing. Highly recommended if you like this mix between prog rock and hinduism.

This was an amazing show. I've been fortunate enough to see Kula Shaker overtime they've played Boston, but the last time was 17 years ago. This time was right at the front of the stage, and Crispian's energy is unbelievable. They played lots of their old huts, and plenty of new material from their recent release K 2.0. Sadly it's a pretty limited tour, but make sure you catch them if they are coming anywhere near you. I also had the privilege of meeting the band after the show, another benefit of a smaller venue.

Crispian Mills gaved an inspired performance at Rough Trade in Williamsburg. He is the best live performing guitarist with the ability to send out and receive audience energy to the point of ecstaticism for all involved. Kula Shaker is a tight, intelligent and deeply soulful band who curating the best and coolest influences of British rock history whether its Blind Faith, Otis Redding, Indian mystical classics, the Beatles and the Who. Mills moves like a dancer and pkays guitar like a master.

There are some bands that will never be huge in the USA, like most UK or European bands. This band is one of them and it is a shame. As I say this I also like this. I (and I am sure other fans) agree that you have more of a connection with bands like Kula Shaker. I was able to meet the band and talk to them. They were all great to talk with and down to earth. As for the show, well that was amazing and well worth the wait. Their late US show was around 17 years ago, so well before I knew who they were. Crispian's stage presence can steal the show, but the band as a whole are tight and look like they are having fun. For my money they are worth it. I'd spend a lot more to be able to see these guys again.
