The Cult head out on a North American tour with Primal Scream next week where they'll be joined by new bassist Grant Fitzpatrick who made his debut with the band at a recent show in Texas.

Guitarist Billy Duffy says: "I had a great time getting back on the road after so much time this year in the studio. The first couple of days were in Austin starting off with The Cult show at Stubb's which was fun and the debut of new bass player Grant Fitzpatrick.
