The Cult announce January tour

The Cult have today announced that they will be returning to the UK in January 2011 for their most extensive run of dates in over a decade with the 'New Blood and Deeper Cuts Tour'.

The band have just released the first of their recent recordings on the newly formatted 'capsule' collection with new music, but film, art and fashion. It will consist of new music 'Every Man and Woman Is A Star' and 'Siberia'; live recordings from the 'Love Live' tour, as well as short film 'A Prelude to Ruins'.

Vocalist Ian Astbury explains, "We are stepping away from the conventional system. By including new music, live music and a film, we are giving the audience 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."

The latest recordings were guided by producer Chris Goss (Unkle, Queens of the Stone Age, Too Many DJ's, Masters of Reality). In addition to producing The Cult, Goss' band Masters Of Reality will serve as the support for the tour. The group have a new album out entitled 'Pine Cross Dover'.

The 'New Blood and Deeper Cuts' will have a set list that will consist of the band's incredible new material such as 'Every Man and Woman Is A Star', 'Embers' as well as debuting previously unrecorded material, and tracks that have never/rarely been played.

On returning to the UK, Ian Astbury said, "We want to continue the long love affair with our UK audience and share some new music as well as some deeper cuts. The band is on fire right now."
