This year is starting off with great I mean great news for the bands and musicians that are part of the Hothouse Rehearsal Community.

Our friend Aaron Rossi best know for his work as the drummer in the band Prong has been chosen by Ministry’s Al Jourgensen to be the new drummer for Ministry’s final world tour – C U LaTouR – which kicks off March 25 in Spokane, WA. The 36-plus market limited engagement C U LaTouR features Special Guests Meshuggah and opening act Hemlock, ending the North American leg mid-May with multiple-nights in Ministry front man Al Jourgensen’s home town of Chicago. Ministry then heads off to play the principal European festivals as well as choice club dates, kicking off in London at the end of May, stretching through to July to end the tour in Dublin, Ireland.

The “C U LaTouR” touring line-up features Ministry’s founder Al Jourgensen (vocals, guitars) being joined onstage by guitarists Tommy Victor (Prong) and Sin Quirin (Revolting Cocks), keyboardist John Bechdel (Fear Factory, False Icons), and drummer AAron Rossi (Prong/John 5). Static X’s Tony Campos has recently stepped in to fulfill bass on behalf of the recently departed Ministry/Killing Joke bassist Paul Raven. Joining the Ministry clan as Special Featured Artist will be Fear Factory/Ascension of The Watchers vocalist Burton C. Bell. 

Time is of the essence so Aaron was in studio B wood shedding on Super Bowl Sunday at 10am.  That’s what I call dedication.  This is huge and we’re really stoked for Aaron.
