The Bhagavad Guitars are a Sydney-based indie-rock band formed in the late 1980s featuring John Kilbey (who appeared under the pseudonym "John Underwood" for their first 3 releases to distance himself from brother Steve Kilbey and his band, The Church), Jeremy Butterworth, Adrian Workman and Matt Kerr. They recorded three 12 inch EPs for the Red Eye label before recording their debut album, which was shelved for five years due to record company disputes.
