Rik Agnew replaced Jay in 1981? First album in 1982, in 1983 they either 'relocated' to Europe or run out of money to get home after touring. From 1984 onwards the band began going through a series of line-up changes, many of whom had been in another local band, Pompeii 99. Either way Gitane Demone stays in the Netherlands for 8 years.

Active (again). Formerly Southern Death Cult, then Death Cult and latterly just 'Cult', originally formed in the late 1970's in Cheshire, with early Native American influences. Billy Duffy (from Manchester) joined while in the Death Cult phase. Astbury and Duffy had disagreements around 1985, Astbury spent all his time in hotel rooms with his girlfriends while the rest of the band overproduced the album, before it was ditched by ex-Beastie Boys producer Rick Rubin. During their 18-month tour, starting in 1987, Astbury began to drink too much, and trash hotel rooms. American Sorum joined at about this time, but, along with Stewart quit at the end of the Sonic Temple tour in 1990.
