DISTURBED All Fired Up About GRAMMY Nomination

February 5, 2009

The Pulse of Radio reports: DISTURBED has already had a tremendous year with its third straight No. 1 album, "Indestructible", three Top 10 rock radio hits, and continued success on the road. But the band notched another highlight with its first Grammy nomination, as the song "Inside The Fire" got the nod for best hard rock performance. Singer David Draiman told The Pulse of Radio he's thrilled to be in the running. "I'm very, very happy about it and keeping my fingers crossed, and any other appendages I may be able to cross," he said. "We hopefully have a chance at winning this thing. We will be on the road but we are making time specifically to be able to attend the awards."

Although many of the rock winners are announced earlier in the evening and not shown on television, Draiman added that he's still looking forward to attending his first Grammy Awards ceremony. "I'd like to at least experience it once, to say that I was bored out of my mind," he joked. "I'm sure that there's going to be much of it which is a little bit of a yawn, but I'd really like to just take in the experience."

DISTURBED is competing in the "Hard Rock" category against ROB ZOMBIE, MÖTLEY CRÜE, THE MARS VOLTA, and JUDAS PRIEST.

The 51st annual Grammy Awards will air live on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 8) at 8 p.m. ET.

DISTURBED is currently on a U.S. trek that brings the band to Midland, Texas on Thursday night (February 5).

The fourth edition of DISTURBED's Music As A Weapon tour begins on March 20th in Madison, Wisconsin, and stretches into mid-May, with KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, LACUNA COIL, and CHIMAIRA also on the bill.
