THE CULT Not Sure About Making New Music

March 20, 2006

Launch Radio Networks reports: Does the current THE CULT reunion mean we'll hear a new album from the band?

Guitarist Billy Duffy told Launch that he's not sure whether he and frontman Ian Astbury will record new music or not. "We'll give it a shot," he said. "We've always written songs together. We'll do the same thing, and if they're any good then we'll maybe get them out to the public. You know, there's no grand design, just a really simple process. If we write anything worth releasing, we'll release it."

Duffy did say that he and Astbury both have ideas, with Astbury's coming from a planned solo effort that never materialized.

THE CULT's last album was 2001's "Beyond Good and Evil".

Despite the renewed THE CULT activity, Astbury retains his membership in the current version of THE DOORS, known as RIDERS ON THE STORM, while Duffy's other band, CIRCUS DIABLO, plans to release an album later this year.

THE CULT performs tomorrow night (Tuesday, March 21) in Buffalo, New York.
