Source: Tulsa World, Okla.mini storageDec. 15--There was something different when The Cult played "Aphrodisiac Jacket" while preparing for a recent tour, The Cult frontman Ian Astbury said.The album on which "Aphrodisiac Jacket" appeared was "Electric," which The Cult released in 1987."When we recorded it, it was naively done but done with a great amount of earnestness," Astbury said in a recent telephone interview. "But I think it was reaching for something we hadn't had quite enough experience to pull off. With life experience, we've evolved into some of these songs. They sound dramatically different than when we recorded 'Electric.' "That led them to look at the whole album again and see what else was hiding, to be drawn out with their experience over the course of decades.They're bringing those lessons and experiences on the road for "Electric 13 World Tour," stopping at Cain's Ballroom on Tuesday. Doors to the show open at 7 p.m.The British rock band gained popularity in the '80s for a hard rock style popular at the time. Through a couple hiatuses, the band has maintained its big sound but with different approaches, evolving in a way that they wanted and aimed to achieve."It's really about taking internal emotional information and converting it into a ritual space and it has been that since Death Cult," Astbury said. "It's been about the performance, the ritual space, the communion with the audience. It doesn't fall into a commercial realm."The band gained notoriety with "Love" in the UK that saw hits like "She Sells Sanctuary," but saw a stylistic shift from post-punk to hard rock with "Electric," their third album.Astbury said that the band first got the idea of touring with a full album from David Bowie, who performed "Low" in its entirety on a tour."When we saw that, we wanted to play the 'Love' album at the Royal Albert Hall in London," Astbury said. "Once we announced we were going to do that, all these other proself storageoters stepped up and said we want you to do this here and fans were like you have to come all over the place to do it. It's the same with 'Electric.'"The experience revisiting "Electric" for a performance has given the band a new perspective on their past recordings, where they are as a band now and where they want to go.Astbury said the band hopes to record new material next year, and that touring with the older albums have given them a good perspective on what they want their sound to be."It's almost like workshopping your own material," Astbury said. "And out of this tour other things have come. It's inspired writing, philosophy and how we move forward as a band. Right in the middle of the set it shows the difference between The Cult and many of our contemporaries."And Astbury said that between looking at their own work and the processes of others, it further hones what the band does, still evolving and striving for their own sound.In the meantime, the tour has given them a chance to visit some of the best venues around the country, and Astbury said Tulsa is a refreshing town in which to play."When you're touring around, all over the world, you're seeing venues ripped apart, gutted, rebuilt, flat-screen TVs going up, seats being ripped out, stages being ripped out all for the convenience of maybe its easier to manage," Astbury said. "It really does affect the space."Not at Cain's, he said."That's a real magical spot on the planet," Astbury said. "The energy contained in the walls of that room, if they could speak it would be amazing."THE CULT ELECTRIC 13 WORLD TOURWhen: Tuesday, doors open at 7 p.m.Where: Cain's Ballroom, 423 N.
