Legendary British rockers The Cult returned to Atlanta on Tuesday night to rock the enthusiastic Variety Playhouse stage.
Opening the show were alt-rockers Holy White Hounds from Des Moines, Iowa, yet everything on their surface screams SoCal 2001. From their look down to their banter between songs about spider-web nipple tattoos inked down the street, the Hounds go hard. Expect fuzz-heavy guitar solos played whilst lying down, speaking in tongues.

That would be the legendary Ian Astbury, who’s vocals traded off melodic lines with guitarist Billy Duffy’s over-driven licks….C’mon Ian Anderson sings and plays the flute ,but not for this british band.
Good catch! LOL, an ugly mistake
