Welcome to the new and improved Cult Central. This site chronicles the past, present and future of the Cult and related projects. The Cult is Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy. In 2006 they added new members, John Tempesta on Drums, and in 2015 they picked up Grant Fitzpatrick on bass and Damon Fox on keyboards and rhythm guitar. The name of this brand-new Chicago wing joint pretty much sums up 2020. We're Winging It!, which is running under the family-owned Filipino restaurant Cebu, puts an Asian-inspired spice and spin.

Cults is an American indie pop band formed in New York City in 2010. The band first came to prominence when they posted a three-song EP, Cults 7', on their Bandcamp page.^[1] They are signed to Sony and In the Name Of, a record label that was set up by British singer Lily Allen.

History[edit]

Cults formed in 2010 while guitarist Brian Oblivion and singer Madeline Follin, both from San Diego, were students in New York City. Oblivion went to NYU to study documentary cinema, Follin went to The New School.^[1] Madeline had previously recorded with punk band Youth Gone Mad on the album, Touching Cloth. Cults released an EP on Forrest Family Records, Cults 7', with the track 'Go Outside' recorded by Paul Kostabi at Thunderdome Studios,^[2] named 'Best New Music' by Pitchfork Media.^[3] They toured supporting the Richie Follin's Band with overlapping members for six months before signing to ITNO/Sony. Their song 'Go Outside' had a video made for it which starred Emma Roberts and Dave Franco. Another video featured the band inter-cut with footage of Jim Jones and Jonestown.^[4]

Their self-titled debut album, Cults, was released on June 7, 2011, by Columbia Records imprint In the Name Of run by Lily Allen.^[5] The album received generally positive reviews,^[6][7] and a second 'Best New Music' from Pitchfork was earned for the track 'Abducted'.^[8]

In 2011 Cults collaborated with the group Superhuman Happiness on a version of the track 'Um Canto De Afoxé para o Bloco Do Ilê' for the Red Hot Organisation's most recent charity album Red Hot+Rio 2. The album is a follow-up to the 1996 Red Hot + Rio. Proceeds from sales will be donated to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS/HIV and related health and social issues. The band was chosen to perform at the ATP I'll Be Your Mirror festival curated by ATP & Portishead in September 2011 in Asbury Park, New Jersey,^[9] and also by Battles to perform at the ATP Nightmare Before Christmas festival that they co-curate in December 2011 in Minehead, England.^[10]

In early 2012 Cults played the Australasian music festival Laneways. In an interview with 3news.co.nz^[11] they said people could expect a more 'aggressive sound' with a lot of changes being made to songs as a five-piece band.

In an interview with the magazine Coup De Main,^[12] Madeline Follin was quoted saying that 'You Know What I Mean' is her favorite song on their self-titled debut album.

In 2013 they were featured alongside Amber Coffman on J. Cole's Born Sinner album which peaked at number 1 on the Billboard 200. The song later peaked at number 96 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Also in 2013, the band recorded their second album, Static, in the aftermath of the duo's breakup. Reviews were generally favorable.

In 2016 Madeline Follin collaborated with her brother Richie James Follin for a side-project called Follin. Their single 'Roxy' was released online on February 23.

On October 6, 2017, the band released their third album, Offering.

In 2019 the song 'You Know What I Mean' was featured as the outro to episode 6 of Netflix'sRussian Doll.

On September 18, 2020, the band released their fourth album, Host.^[13]

LAS VEGAS — A federal prosecutor used dramatic silent videotapes Tuesday to cast Hells Angels as members of a criminal racketeering ring who plotted and carried out a bloody attack on rival biker gang members at a southern Nevada casino in 2002.

“The Hells Angels are an enterprise engaged in racketeering, with members dedicated to responding to any disrespect with violence,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Johnson told the jury as the trial of outlaw motorcycle gang members began.

“Ultimately what occurred was the Hells Angels went and decided to have a gang fight with their arch rivals at Harrah’s casino,” Johnson said.

Three people died and at least a dozen were injured the April 27, 2002, melee when leather-clad bikers wielded guns, knives, wrenches, hammers, fists, boots and chairs in a two-minute brawl that was recorded from at least a half-dozen angles by the Harrah’s Laughlin hotel-casino’s surveillance cameras.

Eleven men from California, Washington, Arizona, Alaska and Nevada were the first to go on trial in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas. Thirty-one other Hells Angels await trial on federal charges, and separate state charges are pending against eight of the men.

Each of the 42 members of the Hells Angels faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted of the most serious federal charge, racketeering attempted murder. Each has pleaded not guilty.

“Never have so many members of the most powerful motorcycle gang in the world been put on trial on such serious charges,” said Julian Sher, the Montreal co-author of a book, “Angels of Death: Inside the Biker Gang’s Crime Empire.”

Johnson promised a broad prosecution of what he called “essentially a cult,” with a disciplined and merciless gang structure based on drug-running, turf warfare and violence.

The prosecutor said former Hells Angels members and undercover law enforcement officers will testify that gang rules and a culture that require “meeting any gesture of disrespect toward an individual or the club with an overwhelming response” led to brawl at the 20th annual Laughlin River Run motorcycle rally.

“This wasn’t self-defense,” Johnson declared, anticipating arguments that defense lawyers said they will make when trial resumes Wednesday and they offer opening statements. “Tensions were high. The Hells Angels, as a group, brought the fight to (the Mongols) at the hotel.”

The prosecutor relied heavily on repeated loops of video _ enhanced by zooming in and other special effects. Arrows were superimposed to follow individuals through the seething mass of leather vests who battled amid rows of glittering casino slot machines. Technical glitches interrupted him several times.

Gang members on both sides are shown pointing and firing guns. Others punch, stab and kick each other. One Hells Angels member wearing a black helmet and sunglasses clobbers a passing Mongols member in the head with a wrench.

Johnson promised to prove all 32 charges against each of the 11 Hells Angels, who sat quietly in court, most wearing shirts and ties and subtle gang markers. Some wore long hair in ponytails. One wore a belt bearing the words “Hells Angels.” Another wore an earring with the club’s trademark death’s head wing.

Several club members wearing vests and club insignia cleared metal detectors at the courthouse lobby and again at the courtroom door to view the proceedings.

Defense lawyer David Chesnoff, who represents defendant Calvin Schaefer of Chandler, Ariz., ended the day by imploring U.S. District Judge James Mahan to remind the jury of seven women, five men and six alternates to await testimony and evidence before making decisions about guilt.

“Openings are one-sided,” said another defense lawyer, Tom Pitaro, who showed colleagues outside court a poster-sized photo of Robert Emmet Tumelty, 50, a Hells Angel from Stockton, Calif., who was shot and killed in the casino brawl.

Another Hells Angel, Jeramie Dean Bell, 27, of Hughson, Calif., and Mongols member Anthony Salvador Barrera, 43, of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., also died.

“In the next couple of days, we’ll answer,” Pitaro said. “We’ll explain everything.”
