Kula Shaker-Hush





Kula Shaker is an English multi-platinum selling psychedelic rock band who came to prominence during the Britpop era. I wanted to speak about them because Alonza Bevan ( The bassist ) is living with his (belgian) wife and his son in Lompret. YES , L-O-M-P-R-E-T !!

Most of you know that I'm in the CAVALO ( Centre d'Animation de VAulx et LOmpret ) and when our president told me the new I didn't believe that ^^ !

I didn't know very well Kula Shaker before that but for an exemple , Before OASIS ( Everybody Know OASIS ) , Kula Shaker was as know as OASIS and sold the same number of album . They are still very know today !!

So, I speak about it because last week it was the carnaval of Vaulx and Lompret ( Yes there is a little carnaval in Vaulx and Lompret ^^ ) and for that , we visited families to ask melk,eggs,...to prepare pancake and omelet to serve people during the fire in the evening.

And we went to Alonza's house too. But Alonza wasn't single...the drummer Paul Winterhart was here too !! So a friend and I decided to ask an autograph (:p) and we started to speak with Alonza and Paul. They told me that they were reccording the drum in the studio ( Alonzo built a studio in his house ) , that the singer ( Crispian Mills ) was in lompret the week before and that next week the keyboarder ( Harry Broadbent ) was going to reccord too . Then they gave us an autograph . And we left them .

I'm really happy to have met them and now when I see Kula Shaker on youtube It's great to recognize Alonza and Paul .

This titel, HUSH , is a cover of DEED PURPLE ... I really love this song !!

ENJOY !!
