Thanks to Arabella for sharing her experiences of attending a live show from The Cult, we saw them in Exeter last year and had a right nightmare, weren't able to take pictures, not able to stand here, don't breath this person's air, honestly, I think that L.A. has finally got to them!  #usedtobeagreatband
