If I saw any of these bands swaggering down the street towards me I'd certainly piss myself... laughing

(slight Walker Brothers vibe from that last one which slightly saves them though)

slamming on the dubstep brakes (snoball), Monday, 22 July 2013 09:31 (ten years ago) link

Well look on the bright side, at least none of these bands will fall foul of a club's 'no trainers' rule. The 'no looking like a complete twonk' rule might be a problem however.

See, I did wonder if that first picture was those twunts Kasabian or just some twunts trying to look like Kasabian... and I still have no idea.

if i knew which one was which i could maybe agree but i can't spot any odd ones out

as i scrape further down the barrel i'm finding that the bottom-feeders usually have one guy who hasn't quite got the look down

the key to having the swagger of Oasis is looking like you huffed too much gas at some point in your life.

Our music is easy to listen to, nothing complicated, just great, positive tunes, obviously influenced by core bands like the Beatles, Oasis, and the Stone Roses. But for me personally, we are all about the songs.

"Yea definitely, the industry’s a bit too squeaky clean, and has been for quite a bit now. Hopefully we can give it a kick up the arse. Especially with The Stones Rose(sic), and Noel Gallaghers new albums sort of taking off quite big, hopefully it will be a big surge and not just one band – a movement bringing guitar bands back. Hopefully we can be involved in that." Tom from The Modern Faces.

I discovered the Ezra thing thanks to your post and after listening to the track you really can tell it’s Ezra !
I do wonder how come they got to work together though… I can’t imagine them hanging out or share any musical interest…

Now, if only Bobby Gillespie would have joined that new group with Liam Gallagher and John Squire, then this truly would have been a damningly prescient thread.

i'm even more baffled by "watch you fall" after listening to a single other song of theirs which is exactly the ladrock i expected

ufo, Saturday, 3 February 2024 00:47 (two months ago) link

Possibly some kind of instrument ID switch in the MIDI tracks behind the vocal. Can't believe how bad the lipsync is in the videos, it's not even iMovie standard.

Squire always looks so self consciously po-faced in pics - like he's holding a facial pose he thinks is most flattering to his ugly mug, doesn't he ever smile? God help him if he thinks he looks enigmatic doing this!

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.

B. Amato (Boring, Maryland), Saturday, 10 February 2024 14:29 (two months ago) link

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]

soref, Saturday, 10 February 2024 15:04 (two months ago) link

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]

vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Friday, 16 February 2024 19:33 (two months ago) link

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.
