Baxie talks Kula Shaker frontman Crispian Mills!  For nearly thirty years Crispian and Kula Shaker have been making music that seamlessly blends incredible pop songs with both psychedelia and the spiritual culture of India. The result of which vaulted the band to release one of the fastest selling debut albums in British history! With hits like "Tattva", "Hey Dude", "Gonvinda", and their amazing version of "Hush",  their first album "K" was a massive platinum selling record.  Today the original lineup of Kule Shaker is back and releasing new music--with two new singles out this summer.  In fact, they're working on a new album that could be released later this year or early next year.  Crispian talks about that, their unexpected reunion, the spiritual nature of the band, being raised in show business family, and about the British music press.
