Cargo Cult

Cargo Cult was a short-lived Austin band comprised of Randy “Biscuit” Turner (Big Boys) on vocals, Duane Denison (Jesus Lizard / Tomahawk) on guitar, James Bonney on drums and Don Davis on guitar. The band took their name from a millenial religious movement that believed they would be delivered goods (cargo) from a special messenger that would provide enough food to enable them to not have to work anymore. They released one album on Touch and Go, Strange Men Bearing Gifts in 1986, which was re-released on CD in 2003.
