Rage Against the Machine plan show to coincide with Republican National Convention

Political rock act Rage Against the Machine have booked a show at the Target Center in Minneapolis on September 3, which, incidentally, is the same week as the Republican National Convention in St. Paul.

According to this report, Rage guitarist Tom Morello has already committed to perform with country-rocker Steve Earle at a union rally September 1st at St. Paul's Harriet Island, the first day of the convention. The band has made no secret of their issues with the Republican party and has made made unsubtle political jabs at the current administration.

Tickets go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m. for $60.
