consequenceofsound.net: In 2008, Rage Against the Machine crashed the Republic National Convention, performing a capella versions of “Bulls on Parade” and “Killing in the Name” on the lawn of Minnesota’s state capital. Tom Morello plans to do something similar with his new supergroup Prophets of Rage. Speaking to Bloomberg Politics (via Rolling Stone), Morello revealed that the band will descend on the Republic National Convention taking place in Cleveland this July. Along with Morello, Prophets of Rage consists of Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk along with Chuck D of Public Enemy and Cypress Hill’s B-Real. + + + + + billboard.com: Like the great Ali, Chuck D sees no boundaries between day job and personal identity. As long as he has a platform, he will use it against whatever force of darkness needs kept at bay. On Friday night in Los Angeles, at a 5,000 hardcore attended Rage Against the Machine (RATM) concert, the Palladium was already jumping around to House of Pain before the band even came on. There’s no doubt, however, that the man of the hour is Chuck D. The initial buzz of the alarm clock came on May 31 as the Prophets of Rage announced they’d make their first appearance at the Whisky A-Go-Go on the Sunset Strip... If the Whisky was Prophets of Rage’s cell phone-less underground bunker committee, the Palladium - at 10 times the capacity - is the public rally they’ve been preparing for. On Rage’s “Bombtrack” and “Testify,” Morello’s playing isn’t furious, it’s infuriated. His licks are a catalyst for three circle pits so forceful they could power a shuttle launch. Chuck D, with free reign of the stage, responds to them with samurai lunges, windmills and repeated pogo- ing on his axes. + + + + + Thanks to Ed Davis, who recorded the show; and to blg for sharing it at Dime.
