A mishmash of varying styles, including rock, metal, punk, and psychedelia, Cargo Cult formed in Austin, TX, in the mid-'80s. A quartet consisting of Big Boys member Randy "Biscuit" Turner on vocals, eventual Jesus Lizard and Tomahawk member Duane Denison on guitar, Don Davis on guitar, and James Bonney on drums, Cargo Cult released their only album, Strange Men Bearing Gifts, on Touch and Go in 1986. The same label re-released the album in 2002. ~ Christopher M. True
