BILLY MORRISON: Project With THE CULT Guitarist, Ex-THE ALMIGHTY Frontman Is Not A Supergroup

January 13, 2006

Former THE CULT touring bassist Billy Morrison has commented on a BLABBERMOUTH.NET story which referred to his new project, CIRCUS DIABLO (also featuring THE CULT guitarist Billy Duffy and former THE ALMIGHTY frontman Ricky Warwick, with help from VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum),as a "supergroup." As reported here yesterday, the band recenty spent time at Sorum's Drac Studios tracking several songs written by Duffy, Warwick and Morrison but have made no definite plans to release any of the recordings or schedule any live appearances.

In a posting on his official blog, Morrison writes, "OK — let's get this straight already, so that no one runs away with any silly ideas. First of all, as I have already written, Matt Sorum is NOT in this new project. He already has VELVET REVOLVER and CAMP FREDDY. He does, however, own a studio, so he has been helping us with the recordings. Co-producing, etc. And secondly, why does the term 'supergroup' get so widely used? CIRCUS DIABLO is nothing of the sort. Billy, Ricky and I enjoy writing songs together, and we are enjoying the process of recording. There is nothing 'super' or 'group' about it. It's a few friends making music. So let's not label it as such. Finally, this project band will not be getting in the way of any CULT-related happenings, VELVET REVOLVER stuff, CAMP FREDDY shows or anything else. 'Nuff said."
