THE CULT: Video Interview With BILLY DUFFY Available

March 27, 2008

STV's John Kilbride recently conducted an interview with THE CULT guitarist Billy Duffy as the reformed band visited Glasgow's Carling Academy in support of its eighth studio album, "Born Into This", released in October 2007. Duffy was up for talking about everything, from the band's longevity to their success in America, and even addressing the recent rumors that they may support LED ZEPPELIN in an upcoming tour. Duffy was also keen to comment on Glasgow's musical history, talking about the difference in music venues now to when the band began in the '80s, and sharing some memories of Barrowland gigs gone by.

Watch the interview at this location.

THE CULT's latest album, "Born into This", sold 12,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 70 on The Billboard 200 chart. The CD was recorded in London with producer Youth (VERVE, PRIMAL SCREAM).

THE CULT's current touring lineup includes principals Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy alongside bassist Chris Wyse, drummer John Tempesta (ex-WHITE ZOMBIE, TESTAMENT, EXODUS, HELMET) and rhythm guitarist Mike Dimkich.
