Short History, Discography & Links
MINISTRY is the extraordinary creative combiantion of Alain JOURGENSEN and Paul BARKER, producers, writers, performers and spokesmen for an assemblage of agro-rock practitioners from around the world, know only as THE TRIBE.
Formed in 1981 by JOURGENSEN, MINISTRY exploded onto the alternative music scene with a serie of galvanic independant singles. After the release of "Twitch", a serie of personnel changes stripped the band to its essentials. JOURGENSEN had met BARKER when producing a group called BLACKOUT and the two immediately found common ground in a raw, relentless sound that used synthetizers and guitars on a sonic seek-and-destroy mission. It was a strategy that attracted a number of young musicians anxious to play their own music without the restraints of the musical establishment. THE TRIBE was built around such groups as REVOLTINGS COCKS, PALE HEAD and 1.000 HOMO DJ's, wich freely mixed members and musical skills with MINISTRY in various combiantions. At the same time, THE TRIBE took on the industry by creating their own alternative recording, distribution, promotion and booking network, resulting in a solid core of fanatic fans from every point of the compass.
