So apparently Rage Against the Machine has just announced a show next week, July 23 at the Hollywood Palladium in support of SoundStrike which supports PUENTE Arizona and The Florence Project all in protest of  SB1070, Arizona’s controversial immigration law.

I was excited to hear that today. Minus Coachella and Rock the Bells  in 2007 which were just east of LA and both large festivals, the LA band hasn’t played a show in Los Angeles in ten years. Considering one of there last performances in LA was at the Democratic National Convention and got shut down by 2000 police in riot gear shooting rubber bullets and getting some “stick time” in, as they(cops) like to put it, this rare LA show is welcome news to Angelino’s whom have largely opposed SB1070 in masses. So a show at a legendary and intimate venue like the Hollywood Palladium with the most politically influential and loudest voices in the Rock and Hip-Hop world is gonna be off the hook! Now the problem is gonna be getting in? I’ll have to figure that out as they haven’t yet announced when tickets are going on sale and its just 8 days away!

True to their roots of political activism, led by the revolutionary Zach de la Rocha, RATM are catalysts of the democratic process and are doing what they do best. Using there massive influence and turning awareness into action by galvanizing the masses and changing the system from within to act upon policies that don’t make sense all in the name of freedom and democracy. Awesome! I hear after the show Zach de la Rocha is leading a convoy straight from the Palladium into the heart of Flagstaff, Arizona for a coup d’etat! Who’s in?
