After Kula Shaker released "Pilgrim's Progress", Winterhart also played in the Somerset Psychedelic rock band "Goldray" with Reef guitarist Kenwyn House and London-based alternative rock band "Black Casino & The Ghost".
Shakra
With their first releases "Shakra" (1997), and "Moving Force" (1999), and by touring with Great White and Uriah Heep, the early career of this Swiss band was a steep learning curve with dramatic success but the real breakthrough came with their third record "Power Ride" (2001) when singer Pete Wiedmer was forced to leave the band because of ill health, replaced by Mark Fox. Fox immediately put his stamp on the following album "Rising" (2003), which saw Shakra hit the German and Swiss album charts. The band played several concerts and festivals, one of which was the prestigious "Bang Your Head" event. 
The controversial video clip for the song "Chains Of Temptation" showed singer Fox giving himself a heroin injection.
