The Cult just played to a sold-out show at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis last night, August 6th.
Opening up the show was White Hills, a rock band from New York with mostly guitarists Dave W. singing, but occasionally their bassist, Ego Sensation, would take over lead vocals. The two seemed really pleased at the large group of fans who showed up early to catch their set.
As expected, The Cult played their Electric album in its entirety… starting off with the sing-along chorus of "Wild Flower". The great energy between the two original two original band members, singer Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy is great to watch - that is until Astbury seem visibly and vocally upset at the chatters in front and then his mic not carrying his vocals. It was all resolved, but for a moment, you thought he was going to smash his mic out of anger.
After Electric was played (with the exception of "Born to be Wild", but interestingly "Zap City" was played instead), there was a two minute break. Astbury announced, "don't worry, we're coming back to play the hits!" And sure enough, they followed the break with the hits, including their biggest hits "She Sells Sanctuary" and "Rain".
Not all were "old hits" as Astbury puts it, they did manage to put in a few newer songs, including "Honey from a Knife" and "Lucifer" from last year's Choice of Weapon album.
As for the encore, there were two songs, "Spiritwalker" and "Sun King". For the latter song, Astbury finally loosened up, taking off his sunglasses and letting down his hair.
The Cult is currently on their "Electric 13" tour, if you love the album, you need to go see them on this tour, because this may be the only time you will hear songs like "Aphrodisiac Jacket" live.
