Kula Shaker<\/strong>, the last great heretics of British rock. Named after a 9th century South Indian King, the band\u2019s esoteric mix of psychedelic riffs, mantras and rock and roll mysticism laughed in the face of Britpop orthodoxy in the 90\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So when, after a million selling debut (K), mind-bogglingly brilliant follow up (Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts) and a string of Top Ten singles, they called it a day as the skies darkened over England during 1999\u2019s total eclipse, it felt for fans like more than the lights going out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst the band never completely went away \u2013 they played from Aberdeen to Osaka in support of 2007\u2019s Strangefolk and 2010\u2019s Pilgrim\u2019s Progress \u2013 there was always a sense that the quartet (now featuring keyboardist Harry Broadbent) were waiting for the stars to align once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016 Kula Shaker celebrated their 1st album anniversary with the brilliant K 2.0 and a grand world tour. Some guessed it might be their last hurrah but, as it turned out, it was a new beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2022 sees the launch of \u20181st Congregational Church of Eternal Love & Free Hugs\u2019<\/strong> \u2013 an epic double album, bristling with energy, vitality and most importantly, killer tunes, proving that the Once & Future King has undoubtedly returned \u2013 rebooted, re-energised and ready to reclaim the throne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to the Congregation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
