Artist Spotlight: One Day As A Lion
July 16th 2008 08:49
One Day As A Lion is a new band consisting of Rage Against the Machine frontman Zach La Rocha and former Mars Volta drummer, Jon Theodore
The band describes itself as 'warning delivered and a promise kept'
“A defiant affirmation of the possibilities that exist in the space between kick and snare. It’s a sonic reflection of the visceral tension between a picturesque fabricated cultural landscape, and the brutal socioeconomic realities it attempts to mask. One Day As A Lion is a recorded interaction between Zack de la Rocha and Jon Theodore from Los Angeles, California.”
“The name taken from the infamous 1970 black and white, captured by legendary Chicano photographer George Rodriguez featuring a center framed tag on a white wall in an unspecified section of Boyle Heights. 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 realize this sentiment in sound.”
Their first EP will be released on 22/07/2008
The track listing includes:
01. Wild International
02. Ocean View
03. Last Letter
04. One Day At A Lion
You can hear their first single 'Wild International' at their myspace page.
