Thanks, Giovanni! But unfortunately I can't read Italian... Then I translated it into English with an automatic translation website. But I don't have enough time to read it now, so I'm not sure this makes sense... (but I think it's better than translated into Japanese) Anyway I'll post it here so that everyone who don't read Italian can know what Crispian says on the mag.

-------------
Summer 1996. In summit to the English classifiche there is one band single to the commando: the Kula Shaker. With a album, the excellent "K", and four single contagious patients. The formula in order to catch up the happened one is a brit-POP diamond mix, psichedelia and misticismo orients them. It could be the beginning of a long and fortunate distance, but the magical moment it lasted little. According to album of the Kula Shaker, "Peasants, Pigs and Astronauts", did not succeed to reply the excellent formula of the debut and a series of controversial affirmations of the leader, approximately the origins of the svastica like religious symbol, made to immediately collapse the quotations the group that was melted, like snow to the sun, in 1999. After an absence nearly ten years, the Kula Shaker are return with a new album ("Strangefolk") and a series to you of torrid concerts in all Europe in order to demonstrate that theirs were not a simple straw fire. I have met Crispian Mills to London, in the mythical "Trobadour" of Earl' s Court, little before that the band English it came amazingly in Italy for one tourn?e "sold out".

Which reason has pushed to you to reform to you after seven years of absence from the scenes?

"Simply because us it has seemed the just moment. Before officially replacing in feet the band we have played together, recording a brano of Indiana music for a beneficence organization. While we were in study the magic of the Kula Shaker has been recreated and has thought that it was a sign of the destiny... "

How it has been to return together, to after write and to record a new disc therefore much time?

"Creed that the creative process is an agony. There are obviously of the moments of inspiration that turn out exciting indeed, but draft however of a distance to obstacles because you must succeed to untie in one great confusion of ideas and feelings. But to the end ce we have made it. The more difficult part has been that one to remain independent, not to tie us to no record house and not to sell the rights of the disc before still to have realized it ".

How never you have decided of autoprodurre "Strangefolk"?

"We wanted to have the total control on the album. Obviously we have met of the record labels, but we are rendered account that are like the Titanic that is sinking in the ice. The music-biz completely it is changed in last the ten years and the record one with which companies an agreement today, between six months could more not be to its place. As you can entrust your music and your life to a system of this type "

There is meant behind the title it of the album?

"there is an expression in the north of the England that says" Null is stranger of people ". The persons are strange, the world is dannatamente strange and us it has seemed that this expression, "Strangefolk", reflected the age indeed in which we are living ".

"Strangefolk" is a disc much varied one: there are brani psichedelici, danced, pieces more in a marked manner rock. Was this the type of album that you had in mind of registare before entering in study?

"When we have gone to record it our objective is that it was a true disc rock' n' - roll, with a message. The message of the disc is "love", but us it wants also a little anger in order to survive in this world. Otherwise rose is ended for living in one nuvoletta, in a dream to open eyes. Creed this album possesses the just equilibrium of anger and love ".

It is not a case, therefore, than you have written of the brani from the strong polemico spirit like "Die For Love" and "Great Dictator (of the free world)"...

"Task of to have interpreted a common feeling to many writing those songs: the feeling of to have been taken in turn from the menzogne of governing ours that have misused other persons, of other people, in name of the democracy, name of my country or name of God ".

The carrying topic of the album is however the Love?

"my heroes John Lennon, Martin Luther King, Saint Francisco and Krishna say that the love always wins. There is a part of me that to times he doubts of this message. From the other side, instead, more I grow more I notice than to believe in this theory: without love, of the rest, nothing has more sense, ends for being egoist and we behave ourselves like animals ".

Which are, now, the plans and it objects to it to you future of the Kula Shaker?

"We want to render the difficult life to the Fascists that they govern the planet, to put soqquadro the world of the rock' n' roll and to possibly make our screw and those of who listens to us little borings. We want to try to being the best one rock' n' roll band of the world ".

for the other italians:

nessun altro, a parte Valeria, ha registrato l'apparizione?? io non l'ho vista..non guardo la tv in genere
ragazzi confido in voi e nelle vostre capacità..

Ciao Valeria,
scusami ma anche io sto cercando l'intervento dei Kula a "Quelli che il calcio" ma non riesco a trovare nulla. Puoi contattarmi così magari mi passi il filmato? Grazie mille!
kuspide@gmail.com

Ciao ragazzi!
Ve lo passerei volentieri il filmato, ma non so come fare a duplicare la vhs.....Dovrei trovare un altro videoregistratore...Vedo di chiedere a qualche mio amico....se riesco ve lo mando sicuramente!

Comunque sto tenendo d'occhio il sito di Quelli che il calcio (http://www.rai.tv/mpprogramma/0,,RaiDue-Quellicheilcalcioe%5E7%5E13687,00.html ) perchè mettono on line tutti i video del programma. Spero che lo facciano anche per la puntata con i Kula.

Io ero in treno che tornavo da Torino il giorno dopo il concerto! Gli amici mi scrivevano di correre su rai due ma me lo sono perso per cause di forza maggiore..
Vi prego, troviamolo!!

per Valeria...ci vuole un altro videoregistratore e un cavo, oppure, ma purtroppo a pagamento, si può far passare in dvd

per gli altri: non perdiamo la speranza, gente...ma se qualcuno la trova non esiti a postare...

io a casa ho il videoregistratore incorporato con la tv...se ne prendo un altro e lo attacco alla tv riesco??!!....che casinoooo!!!
Cmq intanto posso raccontarvela l'esibizione:
Hanno fatto Second Sight, ma era in playback.
Poi la Ventura ha fatto delle domande a Crispian. La prima è stata come mai hanno aspettato 10 anni (che tra l'altro non sono neanche 10) per fare un nuovo album e Crispian ha risposto che ha aspettato per battere il record dei loro idoli, i Pink Floyd, che c'hanno impiegato 5 anni tra un disco a l'altro.
Poi, la Ventura esce fuori dicendo che Crispian le stava guardando nella scollatura...cosa che non mi è parsa proprio vera!!
Infine gli ha chiesto da dove hanno preso il nome "Kula Shaker" e poi quando avrebbero fatto concerti in Italia. Crispian ha risposto dicendo "We'll never leave Italy" !! (Io stavo morendo!!!) e la Ventura fa: "Ma davvero??!! Avete un bus di 18 mt che non passavate neanche a Via Mecenate, restate pure che noi vi vogliamo bene, siete noi la nostra Inghilterra" e Crispian: "grazie, grazie" un po imbarazzato....che amore!!!!

uhhh ma così mi metti ancora più voglia di vederla...
(ma come hai fatto a sapere che erano a quelli del cacio??? io non lo avrei mai scoperto se non fosse stato postato in forum.. )

Io l'ho scoperto su internet mentre guardavo qualli che il calcio!!!!!
Praticamente avevo acceso la tv subito dopo la loro apparizione. Sempre tornando da TO per il concerto.
Qualcuno di voi li ha visti anche a MI lo scorso Ottobre? Io ci sono stato, secondo me è stato un pò più lungo, però è solo un'impressione, non ho la scaletta del concerto (Raimbow Club).

L'ho saputo venerdì sera mentre stavo aspettando di entrare all'Estragon. Me l'ha detto una ragazza....non so come faceva a saperlo. Tra l'altro si diceva pure che sarebbero stati a Scalo 76 ma purtroppo non era vero...Infatti credevo poco anche alla storia di Quelli che il calcio
