Despus de la aparicin de Tom Morello , guitarrista de Rage Against the Machine , el cantante y compositor Zach de la Rocha se uni a los activistas de Occupy Wall Street . Como todos sabemos, desde el 17 de septiembre, el parque Zuccotti del Bajo Manhattan est ocupado por activistas protestando en contra de la concentracin de poder y riqueza en manos de empresas estadounidenses, la evasin de impuestos sistemtica por parte de sus integrantes y la insostenible desigualdad social que el [...]]]> text/html 2011-08-03T12:55:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3637487/video-du-jour-rage-against-the-machine/
Rage Against The Machine, America's great rock champions against injustice, reunited this past weekend to headline the L.A. Rising festival, their first major hometown concert in a decade. They played a roaring, raging set that left no one dissatisfied. After the show, bassist Tim Commerford said the group has been trying out new material, and vocalist Zach de la Rocha has promised a new album sometime soon. Guitarist Tom Morello, however, has said there is nothing new on the horizon for RATM - so we'll see. In the meantime, dig this video from L.A.

Speculation gets the best of us. We feed on it. It's sort of like Devil's food cake, or something sweet and alarmingly harmful to our diet. We know it's unhealthy for us, but we can't help but return to its flavor. More often than not, speculation runs the music industry. Day in and day out, artists drop cryptic hints at everything they're involved in: an LP, a tour, a reunion, a breakup, or, sometimes, a collaboration. Some stay true to their words (e.g. Jack White), others forget about them (e.g. Dr. Dre). Fans never do, however. That's why [...]]]> text/html 2010-12-17T16:25:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/3054062/google-translate-says-rage-against-the-machine-are-making-a/
Mind you, the last time we reported on a non-English article that had been translated by Google, Jonny Greenwood had to issue a public rebuttal. So take it for what it's worth, but as per the Google's translation of Zach de la Rocha's recent interview with Spanish newspaper La Tercera , we could be getting a new Rage Against of the Machine album soon. For the sake of making your own judgment, here's de la Rocha's much-talked about quote - translated into English by Google - via RATM fansite [...]]]> text/html 2010-07-15T01:06:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2686154/rage-against-the-machine-conor-oberst-announce-immigration-benefit/
Just two weeks after Rage Against the Machine frontman Zach de la Rocha teased the possibility of his band playing a US date in protest of the recently passed Arizona immigration bill, he has made it official. On July 23rd, the acclaimed rock outfit will team up with Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band for a massive benefit concert at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California. The concert will mark Rage's first US date in nearly two years and first proper Los Angeles show in a decade. Of course, it isn't too often Rage [...]]]> text/html 2010-07-14T12:09:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2684553/one-day-as-a-lion-playing-shows-this-weekend/
In case you forgot, Rage Against The Machine frontman Zach de la Rocha has another band called One Day As A Lion and it looks like they're playing live for the first time this weekend. The L.A. Times music blog Pop & Hiss (via CoS ) reports that de la Rocha and Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore will play two shows this weekend at undisclosed locations in California. Now I know that doesn't really help if you're trying to actually go to the show so hopefully this will narrow down your search a [...]]]> text/html 2010-07-13T16:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2682598/zach-de-la-rochas-one-day-as-a-lion-plots/
Every cloud has a silver lining, they always say. News that HARD LA was canceled, er, rescheduled, left many Californians at a loss for what to do this weekend - Frank Stallone is playing at Universal City Walk and I guess The English Beat are still around and are playing Irvine on Saturday. But before you have to make the Stallone/E-Beat decision and tear you hair out, let me throw in a wild card: Zach de la Rocha. His latest side-project One Day As A Lion will be performing its first two live performances [...]]]> text/html 2010-07-02T22:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2661072/cos-end-of-week-recap-june-28-july-2/
My hometown prides itself on attracting the likes of Ted Nugent, Randy Travis, and Los Lonely Boys to play its annual Ribfest, a run-of-the-mill Independence Day celebration but with a lot more refined sugar andanimal fat than most others of its kind. This year they managed to get Sammy Hagar, Charlie Daniels, and a post-divorce LeAnn Rimes. What does any of this have to do with CoS? Don't worry, I've got a point to make. The suburbs can be dire place for a music fan, especially this time of year when the only viable options for [...]]]> text/html 2010-07-02T18:49:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2660771/conor-oberst-pens-open-letter-to-arizona-promoter/
The Arizona immigration controversy not only has a whole bunch of you talking , but a lot of musicians as well. When we last spoke , a slew of news acts - including Nine Inch Nails, My Morning Jacket, Ben Harper, Billy Bragg, Gogol Bordello, and comedian Chris Rock - had joined the Zach de la Roca led "Sound Strike" campaign. (If you're a bit confused, the campaign basically calls for a performance boycott of Arizona because of this bill ). At the same time, though, opposition to "Sound Strike" continues to grow.

Despite everything that's gone on politically in America since 2001, the voice of Zack de la Rocha has been noticeably absent from the public debate. His less-than-amicable departure from Rage Against The Machine in 2000 halted that group for several years, and other than an EP from his One Day As A Lion project [...]]]> text/html 2010-06-29T14:07:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2652205/my-morning-jacket-y-gogol-bordello-se-suman-a-the/
El da de hoy entra en vigor la ley de inmigracin SB1070 de Arizona , una disposicin que ha recibido infinidad de peyorativos y que ha despertado manifestaciones como The Sound Strike , de la cual hemos hablado anteriormente . Esta semana, el ejrcito musical del siempre subversivo Zach de la Rocha se ha estirado gracias a las incorporaciones de My Morning Jacket , Gogol Bordello y Nine Inch Nails , bandas que se suman al esfuerzo por revocar la SB1070 "por las buenas".

Arizona continues to experience the wrath of concerned musicians who oppose the state's recently passed immigration bill. Because we're not a political site, I just suggest you click here if you want to know more about the situation, but basically know this: a bunch of musicians led by Rage Against the Machine frontman Zach de la Rocha are refusing to perform in the state until the bill is repealed. In fact, the numbers of these boycotting acts continues to grow by the day. In addition to Rage, Kanye West, Conor Oberst, Massive Attack, Sonic [...]]]> text/html 2010-06-24T19:41:53+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2642749/bright-eyes-en-protesta/
The Sound Strike es un grupo de artistas unidos en contra de la ley anti-inmigrante de Arizona. En ella, artistas como Calle 13, Sonic Youth, Zach de la Rocha y Kanye West trabajan en proyectos musicales para tratar de hacer un cambio en la forma de pensar del estado fronterizo. Y para tal efecto Bright Eyes es el primero en anunciar una cancin, "Coyote Song" en la que se cuenta una historia de amor entre dos personas divididas por la frontera. Todava no hay una fecha para el lanzamiento de la cancin, lo [...]]]> text/html 2010-06-02T11:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2590617/tracklist-kanye-cake-mayer-macca-badu-gaga-sing-it-again/

April Fool's Day isn't until Thursday, so this has to be legit, strange as it sounds. You may recall Rage Against the Machine's takeover of the Christmas charts last year, fueled by a massive Facebook campaign which dethroned frontrunner Joe McElderry and knocked the Simon Cowell -run X-Facto r off its four-year run of domination. Rage Against the Machine's angry, expletive-driven "Killing in the Name," seen as a slap in the face to mainstream pop music, charted at #1 during the Christmas season, and Mr. Cowell was none too pleased. If not [...]]]> text/html 2009-12-28T16:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2222465/rage-against-the-machine-knocked-out-of-top-spot-on/
Filed under: News , UK The campaign to put Rage Against the Machine's 'Killing in the Name Of' atop the UK Singles Chart may have worked for Christmas , but it wasn't successful in keeping it in the No. 1 slot for another week. 'The Climb' by ' X Factor ' champ Joe McElderry will have the top spot on the chart for the New Year.

One Day As A Lion is an on-going creative collaboration between two like-conscioused individuals, Zack de la Rocha (Rage Against The Machine) and Jon Theodore (Mars Volta). We're featuring this song by them just after Christmas to reflect the unprecedented and successful campaign to get RATM's Killing In The Name to be the Christmas Number One in the UK. Rage Against the Machine ended Simon Cowells four year domination of the UK Christmas charts after a hugely popular Facebook campaign helped the Los Angeles [...]]]> text/html 2009-12-22T15:24:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2211957/no-bird-sing-favorite-albums-of-the-decade/
