Among the candidates for the drummer position is Cary Kane (photo). The LA session drummer has previously played with Liars Inc., Pretty Boy Floyd, Powder, Swollow and Kiss bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons, among others.
Cary Kane reportedly auditioned for the group last week and has been called back for another session.
The Cult\'s last tour — behind their acclaimed 2001 album, \"Beyond Good and Evil\" — featured principal members Ian Astbury (vocals) and Billy Duffy (guitar) alongside longtime The Cult drummer Matt Sorum and bassist Billy Morrison. Matt Sorum is currently part of Velvet Revolver.
The Cult\'s upcoming tour, tagged \"A Return To Wild\", will cover 19 cities launching at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco and winding up at Nokia Live in New York City. Although the band was offered large venues they opted for more intimate houses.
