Man, I'm telling you, it might be the chaw, but I'm listening to this CD that a Northerner sent me for my birthday, and it really puts me in the mind of the days of the Grateful Dead, Byrds, Graham Parsons and the like. This makes me think of LOVE, because LOVE hit me in '66 smack dab in the Pico district of L.A.
You have those tunes that take you there, right? But NEW stuff, sometimes sounds good, but not groovey; nice but counterfit.
This group's song: Steroid Train Trip - take's me there!!
The disk is Surfin' USSR. (This is not an advertisement) hehe; by FARMER'S MARKET
Turn us on to some more of the new stuff that takes you there.
Peace. I hope you are all well; it's been a long time.

| Yes, some nice stuff there. I like the chorus, it really sync's with what I'm talking about. |

I was hoping me old friend KJ would jump in here and give us some insight into his appreciation of KULA SHAKER, but if he wants to leave it up to an old-timer, then I would say that Dr. Kitt, from Strange Folk is THERE as well.
What say KJ?

You're spot on LeeRob!! I imagine I spout on about KS far too much on this board and people are probably fed up with me going on about them but if you haven't heard their stuff then I recommend it!  Ridiculed and treated as a huge joke by much of the music press here in the UK makes it even more enjoyable being a KS fan! I like to think that the joke is on the press because they are clearly guided by everything but music. For a taster follow the link,

This is the time and this is the time and it is time, time, time, time, time, time, time.....

| Everything John says about KS is justified - just about the best pscychedelic band since the 60s!! |

Absolutely! It's also their first on vinyl (in addition to CD & digital), if you're interested.
More psychedelic with sitar etc, though all their LPs are great & very respectful of 60's music,
but not imitative...as you know, from the one you have, jellybean. But they still rock!
One of the hottest bands in NYC and spreading.
Casting Shadows is a very 'cohesive' album....no mish-mash of songs like so may LPs today.
They are out of stock at the wholesale level...at least the last time my dealer friend checked,
so they are selling very well! Buying the mp3 version might be an easier way to get it. Go to:

| well from hearing their stuff it sure looks as if there's plenty to mine from that pioneering era...the band has it down..their sound has the wisps of Kinks, Count Five, Electric Prunes...... |

I was at the Llama Festival in North Devon last weekend, had a great time and saw some very good bands, here is a short clip I filmed of a band from Newcastle called 'Booger Red' they played the Festival last year too when they played a great version of 'A House Is Not A Motel'

Huh, Steve64, the bass player has a riff going similar to the MacCartney bass on the outtake fadeout of Helter Skelter. The guitars are kinda heavy metal, so that brings to mind that same period which Lennon was in during the White Album trip. 'Looks like a good "live" band to see.
