Alonza Bevan (Bass and backing vocals) was born Oct. 24, 1970 in West London. He is often described in the press as being unbelievably kind and polite. He met Crispian Mills at school and joined him in a band called "The Oobjects of Desire." The Objects of Desire were Alonza, Crispian Mills, Marcus Maclaine and Paul Winterhart.
After their time with Marcus in Objects of Desire, Alonza, Crispian, and Pauli formed a band called " The kays." In 1995, the band changed their name to Kula Shaker. In September 1999, Kula Shaker splitted and Crispian started a solo career. After the split of the band Alonza fell into deep depression. But a few months later he joined Johnny Marr's Healers.
Zak Starkey (On the Drums), son of Ringo Starr, was born September 13, 1965 in Queens Charlotte's Maternity Hospital. He had his fair share of playing in bands over the years and still going at it. Zak was part of Roger Daltrey's backing band of "Friends" at the Stars 2002 Gala benefit. His formal band was The Who.
After hearing their new CD BOOMSLANG I definitely would recommend buying this. The songs have a great sound to them. Although each of the songs are good. I already have my favorites. Check it out and enjoy!
