>>        I'm a huge Cult fan, so it really depressed me to hear that they
>>have broken-up.  Does anyone here have any specifics as to why it happened
>>or what the deal is with Ian Astbury's new band?

_Allegedly_ something to do with Ian's girlfriend, i've heard.

Billy joined VENT, who are Miles from the WONDER STUFF, Morgan from
SENSELESS THINGS and Pete from EAT. He dropped in one rehersal, said
"Riff's are what you need and Riff's my middle name!"
He quit four months later.

Ian's new band are no longer called STATIC as someone at Begger's
pointed out that "Static" means "not going anywhere". Ian is now trying
to sever connections with Begger's Banquet.

I might add that after Ian's appalling treatment of Les Warner (former
CULT and HERE & NOW drummer) I'm not a big fan of the guy.

The stuff about Billy is fact. The stuff about Ian is largly heresay.
