On Sunday, April 30, 2007 music history was made out in the desert. After a nearly seven year hiatus, seminal 90’s rap/rock group Rage Against the Machine reunited to close out the 2007 Coachella Festival.

Playing to a crowd of over 60,000 of which some were there since Friday to check out other acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bjork, & Amy Winehouse, Rage was greeted by thunderous roar from the crowd to which de la Roacha responded with a simple “We’re Rage Against the Machine from Los Angeles, California.” Led by guitarist/activist Tom Morello, the band then launched into a tirade of hits from all three albums including “Testify,” “Bulls on Parade,” and “Freedom,” eventually closing out the show with the anti-authority anthem “Killing in the Name.”
Despite the little crowd interaction and a brief message about how the current administration should be “tried, hung and shot,” Rage played as if they were at the height of their career.

For those who missed out on Coachella, you can catch Rage Against The Machine as they headline the Rock the Bells tour later this Summer with Wu-Tang Clan, Mos Def and others.
