Rage's Zach de la Rocha Starts New Band, Delivers EP/Tom Morello readies new Nightwatchman album

(Swiped from Pitchfork Media)
The name One Day as a Lion might not set off any alarms, but the parties involved should be familiar. The brand new thing from Rage Against the Machine frontman Zack de la Rocha and ex-Royal Trux/Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore will release their self-titled debut EP to the world July 22 from the Anti- label. As you might recall, this project has been in the works for awhile.
Meanwhile, Rage guitar slinger Tom Morello and his Nightwatchman thing have a new disc on the way, too. This one's called The Fabled City, it was produced by Brendan O'Brien, and Serj Tankian of System of a Down and Shooter Jennings both make appearances. It's due September 30 from Epic.
All this outside expression hasn't quelled the mighty Rage these fellas share, which they'll bring to a few lucky festivals throughout the rest of the summer.
