(Black & White PR) The Los Angeles-based hard rock quartet FIREBALL MINISTRY will soon return to the road for a series of shows alongside multi-platinum rockers Disturbed. The groups � who performed a sold-out California show together in January � will tour America and Canada for two weeks beginning on May 20. These will be Disturbed�s final North American shows prior to their summer stint on the main stage of Ozzfest

The trek marks FIREBALL MINISTRY�s first tour of 2006. The group criss-crossed America no fewer than five times late last year in support of their acclaimed new album, Their Rock Is Not Our Rock. Then, two nationwide treks with CKY book-ended a cross-country jaunt with Opeth, Pelican and Nevermore; those were followed by a string of dates with H.I.M., Skindred and Finch (the inaugural �Viva La Bands� tour), and another series of shows with Clutch. The group also supported metal legends Judas Priest at a Michigan concert before capping off the year with a nationally televised performance on NBC�s �Last Call With Carson Daly.�

�We took a rest, but now we�re back to get you drunk and make you deaf,� says guitarist/vocalist James A. Rota.

Before the Disturbed run kicks off, FIREBALL MINISTRY will be headlining a hometown show at The Troubadour on May 4.

In other FIREBALL news, the group recently recorded a rendition of the Joe Walsh song �Turn The Stone� for the second volume of Small Stone Records� Sucking The �70s compilation. In 2002, the band appeared alongside Clutch, Alabama Thunderpussy and Spirit Caravan on the first installment, covering UFO�s �Doctor, Doctor.�

Meanwhile, the video for Their Rock� standout �Sundown� has received regular airplay on MTV2�s �Headbangers Ball� in recent weeks. It can be viewed at both the band�s website (www.fireballministry.com) and the website of their North American record label, Liquor and Poker Music (www.liquorandpokermusic.com).
