RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - RAGE STAR'S NEW BAND

RAGE STAR'S NEW BAND

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE star ZACH DE LA ROCHA has started a new band with former THE MARS VOLTA rocker JON THEODORE.
The duo is known collectively as One Day As A Lion and features De La Rocha on vocals and keyboard, with Theodore on drums.
They will release their self-titled EP later this month (21Jul08).
In a statement issued by the new group, they explain the reasoning behind their name: "(The band was) a defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare.
"The name (is) taken from the infamous 1970 black and white (photo), captured by legendary Chicano photographer George Rodriguez featuring a centre framed tag on a white wall in an unspecified section of Boyle Heights (in California).
"It reads: 'It's better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.' This record is a stripped down attempt to realise this sentiment in sound."
De La Rocha isn't the only Rage Against The MAChine rocker to embark on his own side project - Tom Morello is set to release his second solo album under the alias the Nightwatchman.
