Band Name Origins:

Originally called Southern Death Cult after a Native American tribe (not sure which one, sorry) whose beliefs and practices concerning exhaltation of one's ancestors held fascination for singer Ian Astbury. When Southern Death Cult disbanded (releasing one retrospective album of singles, demos and live performances), Astbury formed a new band with guitarist Billy Duffy, and bassist Jamie Stewart, called Death Cult. Death Cult released two 12" EPs before changing their name to The Cult - they were about to appear on British TV for the first time and were concerned the name would be misinterpreted. Submitted by: Michel
They Started out as the Southern Death Cult. The band members changed and for copyright reasons, they couldn't keep the name. They shortened it to Death Cult, but for similar reasons they had to shorten it again to simply the Cult. Submitted by: Chris

Story about this misheard lyric by: Jimmy

My study mate at school used to sing these lyrics loudly wearing headphones during study time. Nobody wanted to tell him he'd got it wrong because we were all wetting ourselves.
