[CULT TALK] King Dude On Love, Axl Rose, and Old Music
Here at Cultist, we have two official rules in our very unofficial rule book. 1) Only write flattery about people/music/artists/bands we genuinely love (unless it’s hate mail). 2) Always tell a person/musician/artist/band exactly what fanatical stalkers we are of he or she/what he or she does. This is how we preserve the integrity and utter...

[FOMO-GRAPHS & MINI CULT TALK] Bleached Gets Kissaulted At The Troubador
Bleached played the Troubador the other night for the final date of their national tour in support of their extra-excellent debut album Ride Your Heart, and in short, it was the best (I am a talented and multifaceted writer). It could be argued that I am a tad bit biased, as lead singer Jennifer Clavin...

[CULT TALK] An Imaginary Conversation With Criminal Hygiene
As you already know because you’re currently reading this post on your smart phone in your spot in line outside the venue, we’re putting on night one of the Criminal Hygiene residency tonight at the Bootleg Theater along with Zig Zags, Bad Antics, and DJ sets by Blaque Chris and yours truly. I was so...

[CULT TALK] The Shrine on Unity, Balsamic Dressing, and Tourette Syndrome
Interview and photos by Klaus It wouldn’t be fair to try and describe The Shrine by wedging them into an onomatopoeic sub-category (e.g. fuzz soaked, synthy echo-pop with sizzling punk roots), or to pinhole them by mashing together examples of pre-existing names in music history (like if the Ramones dropped a vile of acid and...

[CULT TALK] Mac DeMarco On Taco Bell, Disney Princesses, And Coldplay
(All photos by Alexander Uhrich) Mac DeMarco is a simple man. He likes cigarettes, instant coffee, and denim clothing, but despite popular thought to the contrary, he does not particularly like smoking weed. Mac is the kind of guy who will headline a sold-out show at The Echoplex, then come to the after-party you invite...

[CULT TALK] Discussing Social Media With Chad Ubovich Of Chad & The Meatbodies
Chad Ubovich has some of the best hair in rock n’ roll. It’s silky and lank and lays perfectly in front of his face while he shreds on guitar (did I use the word “shreds” right? I’m not great with music slang) in his band Chad & The Meatbodies (Should I have said “rips”?...

[CULT TALK] Here Is A Sort Of Terrible Interview With Gap Dream
Here are a few reasons this interview with Gabe Fulvimar of Gap Dream turned out sort of terrible (none of them having to do with how incredible and wonderful Gap Dream is or how awesomely interesting Gabe is*): 1. Gabe and I took some acid shortly before this chat. 2. Free rum. 3. It was...

[CULT TALK] Rikky Gage of White Fang & The Memories
Rikky Gage is basically the Big Lebowski of rock n’ roll. Wait, not the Big Lebowksi because that’s the bad guy. The Dude. Rikki is just like The Dude, except that instead of a bathrobe he wears a jean vest and instead of White Russians he drinks Jaeger bombs, and instead of bowling he...

[CULT TALK] Amigo The Devil
(photos by Rick Rodney) Amigo The Devil plays the banjo, and makes bouncy, jangly, “murderfolk” music you want to slow dance and square dance and drown your sorrows to. The kind of which is most appropriately consumed in a dimly lit Texas saloon while shooting pool (and Old Crow) beneath a taxidermy bison head,...

[CULT TALK] Church With Chelsea Wolfe
(all photos by Rick Rodney) Not to be all LA and vain and superficial, but Chelsea Wolfe‘s complexion is like a cold glass of whole milk. And her voice — it sounds like how it feels to gulp down said beverage, or maybe a White Russian, on a sweltering summer day, inducing the kind of...

[CULT TALK] Io Echo On Kimonos And Lightly Erotic Tween Fiction
This interview is so fucking long and self-indulgent on my part that I won’t bore you with a meandering paragraph of my innermost thoughts about Io Echo‘s music. I’ll just say that while their sound is most commonly referred to as “New Orientalism” (whatever that means), to me it sounds like what would happen if...

[CULT TALK] Katie Stelmanis Of Austra
Thanks to the Internet, not only are we able to more easily monitor the behaviors of our exes without fear of restraining orders, we’re also more likely to fall in to the trap of paying money to see a band that rips our hearts out on Spotify and then totally deflates our dreams with 45...
