Wow, I'm in total fkn shock. I toured with these guys in 96' and it was cool and all but now I will be the production manager/ Lighting Director. This is some insane shit. we hit the road on 5/5 and do 3 months in the states before heading to Europe for a month of festivals. This isn't like a normal tour ho hum gig for me, I've been a fan of Ministry AND Revco for that matter for going on 17 years now and the fact that Al has been clean for 3 years now and has fired his old manager and business manager along with all the drunks/ users that were on the crew before will make this alot easier to deal with. Be assured I will be posting tons of crazy pics while on the road, we'll have some fun with this one folks.
I meet with Al and Angelina ( wife/manager) this weekend to work out the particulars, here is the routing so far.
