VELVET REVOLVER, THE CULT Members Form New 'Supergroup'?

January 12, 2006

VELVET REVOLVER drummer Matt Sorum (ex-GUNS N' ROSES),THE CULT guitarist Billy Duffy, former THE ALMIGHTY frontman Ricky Warwick and ex-THE CULT touring bassist Billy Morrison have spent some time at Sorum's Drac Studios tracking several songs written by Duffy, Warwick and Morrison.

Commented Morrison: "CIRCUS DIABLO began with some songwriting sessions with Billy Duffy, Ricky Warwick and myself. For no reason other than to write some rock songs and have some fun. We ended up writing quite a few tracks, and we have begun to record a few of them over at Drac Studios, owned by Matt Sorum. He has been playing drums on the recordings (as well as co-producing the tracks with us),Billy and Ricky have been recording the guitars, and I have ….. well, I appear to be the singer! It feels good to be able to express myself in this way. (I haven't done that since STIMULATOR). All three of us have a myriad of other commitments, so this is just a homegrown, cottage industry-type affair. But we have enjoyed writing music together, and we are definitely enjoying recording music together. If schedules permit, we might even go and play a few shows together. But we are doing everything ourselves, and are not out there thinking about deals, tours, release dates etc. Take it for what it is — a reason to be creative, a reason to make music. So there you have it."
