Formed by singer-guitarist Crispian Mills (son of actress Hayley Mills) as The Kays, they shot to fame after a nifty name change when the public's craving for all things psychedelic became a mania in the Oasis-drenched mid-1990s. The sound of George Harrison chewing bubblegum, Top 10 singles "Tattva," "Govinda" and "Hey Dude" remain a blast, while their two albums <I>K</I> and <I>Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts</I> are both furiously upbeat lampoons of pop culture, rock lingo and 1960s beat cliché.
