MINISTRY's AL JOURGENSEN To Take Calls On His Hockey Talk Radio Show

May 12, 2009

MINISTRY's Al Jourgensen may be credited with founding the industrial metal music scene, but for those really in the know, there is no bigger fan when it comes to hockey, and in particular, his hometown team, the Chicago Blackhawks. In fact, Jourgensen loves the Blackhawks so much, last year he gifted the team with a new theme song, "Keys to the City".

With the Blackhawks in the NHL Playoffs, Jourgensen has been applying his wit and his encyclopedic knowledge of the sport, the players and the politics to his own talk radio show, "Uncle Al's Puck Talk", heard on WXRK-FM's (104.9) Stone and Double T's show every Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. Eastern and streamed at www.wxrx.com.

To celebrate the Blackhawks' recent play-off victory against the Vancouver Canucks, and for the first time since the show's inception, Al will be taking listener calls on tomorrow's show (Wednesday, May 13) — only those calls about hockey, nothing music related. So, tomorrow, starting at 5:00 p.m./Eastern, 4:00 p.m./Central, 3:00 p.m./Mountain, 2:00 p.m./Pacific, pick up the phone and dial 815.874.2104 and talk hockey with Uncle Al.

In addition to his "Uncle Al Hockey Talk" show, Jourgensen sees the release of "Adios ...Puta Madres", a double-DVD set that documents the band's 2008 final world tour, "C U LaTouR", in stores May 26. "Adios...Puta Matres" features 15 live performance tracks and a 45-minute on-the-road "rockumentary" that follows the band from rehearsals all the way to their final shows in Europe.
