Ian Astbury On Planet Rock

The Cult frontman will be on the phone with Nicky Horne tonight

The Cult's Ian Astbury will be live on the phone during Nicky Horne's show tonight after 6pm.

The iconic frontman will be talking about the band's forthcoming UK tour and about their ambitious Capsule project which will see them release a series of audio-visual four/five song CD/DVDs instead of a traditional album.

Following the first "capsule" in the summer, Capsule 2:  New Blood Deep Cuts is released on 16 November and features new songs "Embers” and "Until The Light Takes Us,” live recordings of some of the band’s huge hits and an intimate look into The Cult's rehearsal space, with a never before seen warm-up performance of "Black Angel.”

The band head to the UK for a series of dates in January:

1/18 - O2 Academy Leeds
1/19 - O2 Academy Bristol
1/21 - HMV Hammersmith Apollo
1/22 - Cambridge Corn Exchange
1/23 - O2 Academy Bournemouth
