Ministry Adds Dates To Last Tour, Will Release Covers Album In April

Ministry announced additional dates for what they are saying will be the band's last tour. The C U LaTour will cover 32 cities beginning March 25th. According to LiveDaily:

The lineup for the trek consists of frontman (and sole remaining original member) Al Jourgensen, guitarists Tommy Victor and Sin Quirin, keyboardist John Bechdel and drummer Jimmy DeGrasso, with Static X's Tony Campos taking over at bass for the late Paul Raven, who suffered a fatal heart attack in Switzerland last month. Fear Factory vocalist Burton C. Bell will join the band as "special featured artist," according to a press release, while Swedish experimental metal band Meshuggah and US thrash artists Hemlock will hold down opening support for the tour, which should pick up a few extra guests along the way.

Ministry is throwing some bones to diehard fans before they retire though. Cover Up, an album of covers will be released on April 1st. It includes covers of The Rolling Stones' "Under My Thumb," The Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," Deep Purple's "Space Truckin'," T-Rex's "Bang a Gong" and others.Ministry - "LiesLiesLies" Official Video:Read the full story at LiveDaily.comOfficial Ministry video for song 23 - "No W":C U LaTour Dates:March 200825 - Spokane, WA - The Big Easy26 - Calgary, Alberta - The Whiskey27 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Croatian Cultural Center28 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Commodore Ballroom29 - Seattle, WA - Showbox SoDo30 - Portland, OR - Roseland TheatreApril 20081, 2 - San Francisco, CA - The Fillmore5, 6 - West Hollywood, CA - House of Blues7 - San Diego, CA - House of Blues8 - Tempe, AZ - Marquee Theatre9 - Las Vegas, NV - House of Blues11 - Magna, UT - The Great Saltair12 - Denver, CO - Ogden Theatre14 - Albuquerque, NM - Sunshine Theatre15 - Austin, TX - La Zona Rosa16 - Tulsa, OK - Cain's Ballroom17 - Dallas, TX - Palladium18 - Houston, TX - Verizon Wireless Theatre19 - New Orleans, LA - House of Blues21 - Ft.
