The Cult

[Falcon]

Funny sidebar to this show, Ian chunked a tambourine at a guy 'texting" during the performance..

Awesome.

I'd like to see video of that -- is it true the guy was a member of The Cult's own entourage texting in the pit.

Nope, from what I've heard from a few friends at the show it was an audience member.

So it was someone in the audience who wasn't paying attention -- even better.

My new band playing its first gig. We do our own song, but i figured id post it because we decided on the spot to do The Cult, the sound quality is horrendous, so dont have it loud guys. But being able to play The Cult live is something im very grateful for so i wanted to share it.

As you can see, the song gets me going (im on the bass)

We did guns too but the microphone cut out for like half the song so it wasnt worth posting up.

Cool, I didn't know you had a band, that's very cool.  You have a Nikki Sixx stage presence.

Official press release on "Capsule 2 - New Blood Deep Cuts"

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2010/10/prweb4691514.htm


The Cult Announces Release of Capsule 2: New Blood Deep Cuts Due Out November 16th

New Song "Embers" Available Nov. 16

Legendary rock band The Cult prepares to release new music on November 16th via innovative music capsules, heralding a new era of music delivery that will impact the way we hear music for years to come. Capsule 2: New Blood Deep Cuts features new songs ?Embers? and ?Until The Light Takes Us,? live recordings of some of the band?s huge hits and an intimate look into The Cult's rehearsal space, with a never before seen warm-up performance of ?Black Angel.? Rather than revisit the traditional method of releasing a long form CD, the band is pioneering a new way of providing material. Capsules span multiple media formats including vinyl, digital, USB, CD and DVD formats, and can be purchased at: http://cultcapsulestore.com.

Frontman Ian Astbury explains, ?We are stepping away from the conventional system. By including new music, live music and film, we are giving our fans the opportunity to own other creative visions. The Capsule is a way of delivering music in bites, quicker and fresher than in the context of an album format.?

Capsule 2: New Blood Deep Cuts? lead track, ?Embers,? will be available exclusively on iTunes beginning November 1st for 2 weeks, while iTunes? exciting new music-oriented social network site called Ping boasts an exclusive On Demand preview streaming of ?Embers, the ?Black Angel? rehearsal film and new band photos. For an advanced taste of ?Embers?: http://aderra.net/Embers_Preview.html.

On the heels of their wildly successful Love Live Tour celebrating their 1985 groundbreaking album, The Cult announces a new run of U.S. dates on their L?America Tour kicking off October 28th in Chicago. UK dates begin January 18, 2011 in Leeds. Fans are afforded the unique opportunity of leaving the venue each night after a Cult concert with a full recording of the show on a USB flash drive - to relive each incendiary moment.

The Cult is Ian Astbury (vocals), Billy Duffy (guitar), Chris Wyse (bass), John Tempesta (drums) and Mike Dimkich (rhythm guitar), who worked with producer Chris Goss (Queens of the Stone Age, Unkle) to bring the new capsule recordings to life.

?Our latest recordings are a mixture of violent guitars, emotive vocal performances with high melody and driving beats,? offers Astbury. ?Textured metaphysical rock music for the contemporary music head."

An interview with Ian and the full version of The Cult's next single "EMBERS" from "Capsule 2: New Blood Deep Cuts" can be heard heard below starting with "EVERYMAN AND WOMAN IS A STAR" around 65 minutes in.

Hmmm!! Interesting indeed, late 80s early 90s Cult. Didnt think Ian was into that stuff.

Sweet Soul Sister and Fire Woman have pretty much been setlist staples over the years with Sun King being played sporadically over the last few tours. 

Great to see "NYC" added, that's a scorcher live.  Kinda indifferent on "White", there's a couple of on that record I'd prefer although "Ceremony" songs in general just never came off well live..

very Nice!- about the best set I've seen from them-Very rocking- still remember hearing "NYC" back in the day -89' when they came to my college in Radford VA- "you guys ready to the fucking roof off this  place?!" - Which they did- I don't think the College knew what they were getting into to!

I think Wildhearted son would be good live providing they had two guitarists
