The Cult

[Falcon]

And a review of last nights Lockport show so to speak..



There?s nothing quite like listening to free music on an oppressively hot day while drinking beer.

And there?s nothing quite as funny as Canada. Or at least that?s the message you would have gotten if you had gone to Friday night?s Molson Canal Concert, featuring The Cult.

Starting as early as 5:30 Friday afternoon, hordes of sweaty Western New Yorkers, sporting sunglasses and tattoo-baring tank tops, trickled into Lockport?s Ulrich City Centre. Though it would be hours until the concert?s headliners performed, the presence of cold beer and two energetic opening bands ? Chylde and Parlor Mob ? made it worth the wait.

At about 6, Buffalo-based Chylde opened the concert with a solid set of no-frills rock while the bassist did his best impression of Cousin Itt ? his long hair obscuring any sign of his face.

Next up was Parlor Mob, who played their metal-influenced rock to a slightly larger crowd, and even spiced up the distortion-heavy show with some soulful harmonica. From instrumentation (OK, not counting the harmonica) to vocals, both openers? sets had a distinctly ?80s feel.

It was easy to see why they had been grouped with The Cult, a post-punk band that, unlike the less authentic (if still the night came together. That Chylde and Parlor Mob counted The Cult among their influences was clear almost as soon as the band started playing. The sun went down, the onstage lights came up and the concert talented) openers, actually formed in that spandex-wearing, big-haired decade. Though they didn?t start until almost 9, as a whole seemed like it was designed specifically as a tribute to The Cult?a showcase of the newer talent for which the classic British rockers had laid the foundation, followed by the band itself.

As Ian Astbury (vocals), Billy Duffy (guitar), John Tempesta (drums), Mike Dimkich (guitar) and Chris Wyse (bass) started in on their lengthy library of hits ? including ?Lil? Devil,? ?Electric Ocean,? ?Sweet Soul Sister??the audience acknowledged The Cult?s illustrious history.

Fists pumped in the air at the sound of every song?s first chords, and the nonstop head-banging and clapping were infectious.

And between nearly every song, Astbury obsessed over Lockport?s proximity to Canada. After establishing that there were indeed some Canadians in the crowd, the band?s frontman instructed them to ?show these Americans how to rock.?

The tongue-in-cheek Canada references continued throughout the show, drawing a variety of responses ? negative and positive ? from the audience. Sure, the main attraction of the evening took a while to get started, but the crowd didn?t seem to mind.

After all, it was a beautiful night, with loud rock music and plentiful beer, and nobody was in any rush for it to end.

Setlist and wrap up from last night Atlantic city show, thanks to www.cultcentral.com and Rising Phoenix Father for the following:


The house lights went down during The Sex Pistols' 'Pretty Vacant' ...

Lil' Devil
Electric Ocean
Rain
I, Assassin
Sweet Soul Sister
The Witch
Spiritwalker - Ian said after the song ... "born in 1984, under a lightning bolt in Brixton"
Edie - Ian dedicated it to Michael Jackson
Illuminated
Fire Woman
Rise
Phoenix
Dirty Little Rockstar
Wildflower
Love Removal Machine

She Sells Sanctuary

I'm not 100% positive how he said it, but during the band introductions Ian deadpanned when
introducing Mike, after starting with Billy and Chris, saying I think "What's your name?" 

He said it exactly the way you would say it to someone you met a long time ago and you
just can't remember their name. It was hilarious!

It was a tight, workmanlike set. No apparent glitches, great sound all around.
Ian's vocals were loud and clear, he sounded great. They all did. 

I can't remember when during the set, but Ian promoted the September 11th gig at Terminal 5

Atlantic City review..

Few bands can rock as hard as The Cult

By SCOTT CRONICK Staff Writer

ATLANTIC CITY - There have been and certainly will be more popular bands than The Cult to come to Atlantic City this year. But it's unlikely that any can rock harder.

The Cult returned Saturday to the House of Blues at Showboat Casino Hotel and once again proved that few bands out there can bring it like these British hard rockers.

Led by the always animated, confident and vocally impressive Ian Astbury, The Cult offered a solid mix of hits and deep album cuts from the band's 25-year catalog.

Opening with two songs from 1987's "Electric" - arguably the band's best effort - The Cult threw down the gauntlet early, playing a loud 75-minute, 16-song set that showed off the band's aggressive, no-holds-barred rock spirit.

The band ripped it up when offering its best-known hits like the anthemic "Fire Woman" and closers "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Love Removal Machine," but the beauty of a live Cult show is that you don't have to be a big fan to appreciate them.

Pretty much every song Saturday night sounded like it should have been a hit at some point, even though most of them weren't.

Playing at least one songs from six of the band's eight albums - sorry, "Ceremony" and "The Cult" fans - some casual fans may not have known songs such as "Rise" and "Dirty Little Rockstar," but after hearing them Saturday, iTunes downloads would be highly suggested.

The Cult offers heavy rock with a classic rock vibe, propelled by the amazing guitar work of Billy Duffy, who thankfully retired his long '80s hairdo for a cool, shorter style that helps shed that stigma.

It's no wonder why Astbury was a perfect frontman for The Doors of the 21st Century. Wearing dark sunglasses, a denim shirt and a matching bandana to pull back his hair, Astbury's delivery eerily channels Jim Morrison - and not just his voice, but his pseudo-mystical lyrics, too.

But Astbury clearly has his own identity. A rock star through and through - last time at HOB, he threw a microphone at someone in the first row - Astbury threw tambourines into the audience like Frisbees, banged his mic stand on the stage and showed he hasn't lost an ounce of his ability.

When he ripped into "Sweet Soul Sister" and "Spiritwalker," it was like he's sharing part of his soul with the audience.

Duffy is equally impressive. Whether showing off his ability to shred frets with the best of them on "The Phoenix" or slowing it down on tunes like "Edie (Ciao Baby)," Duffy's tone is always crystal clear as he produces awesome sounds from his array of guitars.

Even the less memorable songs such as "I Assassin" and "The Witch" were not reasons to run to the bathroom. You always felt like you might miss something, like another memorable Duffy solo or John Tempesta killing the drums.

Despite The Cult's on-again, off-again status as a band, the main reason that Astbury and Duffy keep reuniting is because they really belong together. The band's two main songwriters click on every musical level. And when that happens, that's a sweet night of music.

A review of the concert can be found at PressOfAtlanticCity.com.

In August, THE CULT will kick off an international tour on which the band will play its seminal, 1985 "Love" album from start to finish.

The "Love" album is viewed by fans and worldwide media as THE CULT's pre-eminent release. From the immediately recognizable opening notes of "She Sells Sanctuary", through Billy Duffy's psychedelic guitar strains on "Phoenix", to the resolve of Ian Astbury's haunting baritone on "Brother Wolf, Sister Moon", THE CULT created an album that maneuvers as a tour de force.

"[Playing the album live] gives some context to what THE CULT are, in terms of what we do have a claim to ? building this post-modern world," Astbury told Billboard.com. "We're one of the principal architects to that world, in a way. For me, it's kind of like, 'Hey, wait a minute, I don't want my legacy to be 'Sonic Temple'. It's amazing how many people come up and say, 'Hey dude, where's the cowboy hat and long hair?' I haven't looked like that in like 16 years."

"The band is redefining the live album experience with the 'Love Live Tour'; nothing is comparable to witnessing THE CULT, fully engaged in the live creation of arguably their seminal album," stated stated THE CULT manager Tom Vitorino. "For fans this will be the greatest tour yet, and for those just discovering THE CULT, this staging will envelop them in a pure performance experience."

THE CULT will be delivering spectacular production, along with the intense performances that fans have come to expect. The evening's finale will include an encore of THE CULT's greatest hits, spanning the bands' storied career. The band has been working closely with their art/ design team creating an arresting set, with dramatic effects, using state-of-the art technology.

Cult bassist swoops into New York with Owl

Chris Wyse doesn't understand why some people mistake his upright bass for a cello. ?Cellists sit. Upright bassists stand,? says The Cult bassist.  But he'll let it slide. Wyse is more excited about the momentum of his new band Owl and their current tour, which brings the Los Angeles trio to New York for five shows, including The Gramercy Theater on July 13 and Arlene?s Grocery on July 30.

Still, he recognizes that a stand-up bass in a hard rock band is not the norm. ?I?m trying to transcend what the instrument is known for, so I understand why it's confusing,? he says. "Maybe we should say Obama please keep music in schools. Hey, but they've seen Britney Spear's p----, and they know what that is?they just don't know what a stand-up bass is.?

Wyse, originally from Woodside, Queens, picked up the nickname owl in school ever since he pulled out Wise potato chips?branded by the iconic owl?from his lunchbox. After some time, Wyse (pronounced ?wise?) says that he and his family would get Waterford crystal owls and other gifts throughout the years. Owl just stuck, so when the time came, Wyse had no problem finding a band name. Along with drummer and longtime friend Dan Dinsmore and guitarist Jason Mezilis, Owl have picked up attention in Hollywood and hope to do the same on their upcoming tour.

Despite this cello-bass debacle, Wyse is quite content with his current state of affairs. Currently playing with The Cult on their Love Live tour, Wyse is working overtime touring with Owl. It's a challenge balancing out playing bassist in a legendary rock band with his new role as lead singer and bassist in Owl, but it?s driven by passion. In fact, it?s something that he and drummer Dinsmore have talked about doing since they played in bands together in high school in Saratoga, N.Y.

?Sometimes I'm pulling my hair out,? says Wyse. ?But I try not to think about it. There's no band or outlet existing that does what Owl does."

Don?t get Wyse wrong. Being in The Cult puts a smile on his face, but when there?s down time, he doesn?t want the work to stop. ?When I play in The Cult, it's the same thing," he says. "I put the same 150 percent energy in it. If you're drawing a river, you draw the river with the blues and color of the water. You don't want to go against it. You have to honor your art.?

Melody is important  says Wyse, who grew up on Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden?all still a force in his musical creations. Most recently, Wyse says that he was inspired again after watching the Maiden documentary Flight 666. ?They are still on top of their game,? he says. ?I?ve never heard them that tight, so in control and in fire. That's what I want to be?in control and have that fire. I?m influenced by mystical bands, and that?s the reason why we go on musical bits and take you off the beaten path. It may even be spooky or exotic. I try to instill colors and emotions rather than I woke up this morning and got myself a beer. I like that, but that's a different approach?and I'm having coffee right now.?

From the 41-second intro ?Brainwaves? to heavier prog-driven tracks like ?Pusher? and ?Alive? to a trashier traipse into ?Violent Crime,? melody thrives on the 14-track self-titled album (Overit). Indeed, a bit mystical, sexy and confusing at times, like addiction-laden ?More on Drugs? to Sunset Strip recollections in a slower, moodier ?Apples," all are glued together by mid-album guitar instrumental ?Degeneration.?

?I try to keep some fantasy, so people say what the hell is he talking about?? says Wyse. ?One person said, ?I like the album, but that song ?More on Drugs? is all over the place.? I'm like, it's called ?More on Drugs!? The rules aren't that strict. I came up with some heavy duty bands growing up that did whatever the hell they wanted, and they weren't apologizing?and neither am I.?

Who is Owl?

August 4, 2009

Who-Who, fills the midsummer night's air, as you feel the hair on the back of your neck stand on ends, feeling the feathers touch the top of your head, as a winged creature known commonly as the Owl, had just flown overhead. But do not fear the Owl, but this Owl is very unique, unlike most Owls, this one showcases a real talent. Bassist/Vocalist Chris Wyse, (The Cult) who is also still touring with the band, grew up with best friend drummer Dan Dinsmore (The Clay People), out in New York, who then found Jason Mezillis (Your Horrible Smile), rounded off a line-up suitable to everyone's approval. After releasing their Self-Titled efforts, Owl went off on a brief tour run, promoting, meeting, playing anywhere and everywhere they could book. Getting their name out so everyone can witness the magic, wisdom, and wonder of what Owl is all about. Lead man Chris spoke to me about how the band came together along with the album creating process, among future goals and achievements for the band to make.

1. Tell us how Owl came to be. How did you guys get together?

Chris: Well Owl is something I had been doing behind the scenes over the years. There was really no outlet for this band to begin with; I was aiming to getting experimental with the upright bass, looking to do something with this band. What I really wanted was to get back to my older roots, become more intense and mystically if you will. Go out and create an album, so I got in contact with my drummer Dan from New York, who owns a label. I then called up Jason and formatted the whole band, from that point, changing my band?s line-up around making a real live chemistry. That?s what brought us altogether, making a real unique sound to us making a very catchy article.

2. Tell us about the band's name... where did you come up with it?

Chris: Well my last name is Wyse which has that old English vibe to it. Growing up as a kid there were a lot of Wyse items around at the time, Wyse Potato Chips, for instance, among other things. So the name followed me, it?s cool mystical sound and represents what we do as a band. If we had gone and called the band Potato Chips that wouldn?t have been cool.

3. How did this past tour go for you? Have any favorite venues or places you'd like to go back too?

Chris: Well I enjoyed, Armin?s Grocery in Manhattan it had a good club vibe, to it. Another one would be the Blender Theater, which is a great theater, it?s very imitate, the sounds and lights there is just amazing. We played a night there ?Goth n? Rock? that went over well. I live in L.A. and going over to New York you get a whole another response. We?ve played within this area the Dragonfly and Viper Room those alone stand out the most.

4. What can you tell us about your Self-Titled album?

Chris: It?s really kind of a vision of how I saw the bands I listened to growing up. Those bands showed me that you can do whatever you want. For me, I wanted to write a mixture of songs, with musical interludes, outros, intros, like Van Halen had done with their music. Owl fills the void, while there are other bands out there, that fall into place instantly, but we have our own unique sound, having fewer rules, trying to bringing it back to the artistic side.

5. What are your favorite tracks on the new record and what do they mean to you?

Chris: All of them mean something; a lot of them are more in depth than others. I think ?Pusher,? stands out the most, having a strong chorus, and bass line, to it. ?Sky Rocket,? came out well as far as being an emotional ballad, containing a lot of heart and soul to it. These songs don?t just talk about your basic drugs and drinking lifestyle, it means something totally different from that. As far as these songs were written, ?E Generation,? along with these, all contains those musical vibrations that explain what really happened.

6. Were there many more songs written that didn?t make the record?

Chris: Yeah we had a hard time deciding. I had developed a lot of songs, over the years and probably have enough material for a whole another record. But we?d like to continue to write more, and mess around some more coming up with crazier material, keeping everything wide open.

7. What are your goals for Owl?

Chris: The main goal right now is to fill in as many shows as we can. Get our name and recognized a lot more for our music, finding our hearts and souls with this music. We?re doing this all for our sake, get out on the road, tour the world, very encouraged to continue onward and play this music for whoever?s willing to listen.

8. If you could have one thing at this moment, anything at all, what would you have and why?

Chris: It?s all about the band and music for me. What I?d really like to do is go out on a big tour and hook up with one of our favorite bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Tool, Alice in Chains, get on a tour bus going out on the road and tour, tour, tour.

9. What is one summer movie you just have to see?

Chris: Well I recently saw Watchman, and I was really excited about it. It wasn?t a whimpy movie; some of the scenes thrown in there were really exciting to watch like the time sequences. The Batman illustrator drew a lot of the parts of the video we plan on filming for the song ?Pusher,? I?m basically drawn to the fantasy stuff. I was really excited to see Watchman and how it turned out.

10. Any last words of wisdom?

Chris: Well I think it?s time for people to get back to music for the music sake. I hope Obama brings back the music program to all the schools. I have people coming up to me and asking me about my upright bass, not even knowing what it is, it?s a total turn off to me. It?s time for the real deal adventurous music again, that would be the final thought on my behalf.

The Cult to Perform 'Love' Album on World Tour

8.07.2009

To the Cult's Ian Astbury, the age of albums is over.

"I think albums are finished, to be honest with you," Astbury said during an interview with Noisecreep. "Albums are redundant--unless you're a really prolific artist and really have a burning desire to make a record or make an album. Certainly where I'm at, I'd rather record songs that we're excited about. Get one really good one that we really, really like and put it out. It's fresh as well. Who wants to wait a year and a half for another album? Certainly as a music fan, I'd much rather have less product of a higher quality over a short period of time, than loads more product that's kind of crap dumped all at once."

But that isn't stopping Astbury and Cult cohort Billy Duffy from celebrating the seminal 1985 album 'Love' by playing it from start to finish during a world tour that kicks off Aug. 19.

"We're going to perform the 'Love' album for the first time in its entirety as the quintessential post-modern album," Astbury said. "That's our tag. I think there's several of those who could claim that tag, but we might as well throw our hat in the circle."

He said he never really celebrated the fact that 'Love's' "She Sells Sanctuary" won a CMJ Award in 1985. Astbury chalks that up to his stereotypical English modesty.

"Now I want to come out and say, 'We actually did a few things that we're very proud of and we want to celebrate ourselves' without coming out and saying, 'It's the anniversary of'--without all that nonsense. I hate all that," Astbury explained.

"It's really an organic thing. If I felt I was going to get up there and just knock it out, I couldn't do it. I physically could not do that. I physically can't do it. It's impossible for me to do that. I mean Billy will tell you that I cannot be coerced into doing things I don't believe in. This is just an organic body of work."

Astbury said the music he was hearing around the 'Love' recording sessions has a lot in common with what he is listening to now--Joy Division, Led Zeppelin, The Doors and The Stooges. (Astbury formerly fronted The Doors "reunion" group The Doors of the 21st Century, which was renamed Riders on the Storm.)

"The 'Love' album was very important, I guess, politically in the United States in terms of being a post-modern record because we were one of the first bands that were like punk rockers that came on and said, 'It's okay to be into punk and Led Zeppelin," Astbury said.

"In Seattle, 'She Sells Sanctuary' was on a Top 40 radio station. We sold out the Capitol Theater in Seattle. I remember Andrew Wood from Mother Love Bone, who later became Pearl Jam, telling me how influential it was in '85 and the fact that it kind of gave them a touchstone to kind of go, 'Wow these English kids are doing it. Why can't we do it?' He said it was a great influence in what he was doing, and what Pearl Jam ended up doing, and Soundgarden, and blah blah blah."

I remember when the movie "Singles" came out, writer/director Cameron Crowe mentioning much the same about "She Sells Sanctuary" regarding its inclusion in the film - interesting stuff...

Nice to see the Andrew Wood mention, he and Ian were close - his name gets left out too much when talking about the Seattle/grunge scene..
