CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Fresh off their live stage debut in Los Angeles, the newly formed political activist supergroup Prophets of Rage have set their sights on the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
The supergroup -- though band member Tom Morello told Rolling Stone he prefers the term "elite task force of revolutionary musicians determined to confront this mountain of election year bulls---," -- is made up of Morello and two of his former Rage Against the Machine bandmates along with Public Enemy's Chuck D and Cypress Hill's B-Real.
They'll play another live show in L.A. Friday night and possibly others before taking their act to Cleveland "in and around the RNC" in July.
Morello told Bloomberg Politics the Republican National Convention "will be a perfect place for a band like Prophets of Rage to cause a ruckus, and we will be there on the streets, in the field.
"We have a venue and there may be venues that will be spontaneous venues, it's hard to say. This is the kind of thing you don't broadcast to the local authorities prior to arrival."
