RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN

Rage Against the Machine are honored to have been drafted by this historic grassroots campaign to make our song "Killing in the Name" the number one song on the UK Christmas Week pop chart. This is a huge victory by and for fans of real music and we extend our heartfelt thanks to every fan and freedom fighter who helped make our anthem of defiance and rebellion the Anarchy Christmas Miracle of 2009.

As promised we will play a free concert in the UK in celebration of this incredible upset victory over the heavily favored X-Factor single. We are also pleased that so much money has been raised for homeless charity Shelter and are happy to donate as well to aid this important cause. While there are many lessons that can be drawn from this historic upset, the main one is this: that ordinary people, banding together in solidarity, can change ANYTHING, be it the pop charts or the world.RATM

A Revolutionary New Meaning to Rage

Censored in part by the BBC, historic and controversial Rage Against the Machine live radio broadcast exclusively filmed in entirety by DC3 Music Group

LOS ANGELES -- One phone call last night to a new Live Music Digital Syndication Platformspecializing in exclusive live concerts instantly changed the course of the musical verse "television revolution." The call was answered by Daniel E. Catullo III of DC3 Music Group LLC, producers of the new Creed Live and Alter Bridge Live From Amsterdam DVDs, telling the acclaimed live concert producer-director to quickly get a crew together to roll film for an historic, one-night reunion of Rage Against the Machine. Catullo assembled and set up the crew at the venue in time to preserve this rare concert moment on film.

Little did he realize when he answered the call just how rare this moment would be.

Rage Against the Machine has made another returned hiatus to wake up a nation it believes has been desensitized by being spoon-fed a culture of reality television and "one schmaltzy ballad after another," according to guitarist Tom Morello. The band was able to focus its charge last night live on the BBC, thanks to an exclusive audio uplink from DC3 and its premier new web destination, Rockpit.com. RATM's voice screams for a new kind of revolution through their 1992 hit "Killing in the Name,"off of their eponymous album.

Currently the hot topic on Facebook, Rage Against the Machine is synonymous with a campaign to get "Killing in the Name" to the Christmas Number One spot on British Radio. They currently are trying to beat out The X Factor winner Joe McElderry's "The Climb," to make a point that too many people are sick of reality shows like the British talent show The X Factor, part of the monopoly run by "American Idol" maker Simon Cowell. Speaking on Cowell, RATM frontman Zach de la Rocha today told NME News : "He seems to have profited greatly off humiliating people on television and has a unique position of capturing the attention of people on television, but also the airwaves. We see this (campaign) as a necessary break of that control."

The song did not make it through its entirety once de la Rocha screamed the"Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" lyrics. And much like The Doors' infamous banning from The Ed Sullivan Show after Jim Morrison defied producers' orders by screaming the "girl we couldn't get much higher" lyric from "Light My Fire" on live television, de la Rocha and Rage were silenced on the live airwaves and thus by a society which deems freedom of speech acceptable only within the comforts of its internal domicile. The BBC spent all morning today apologizing to the world for the band's use of profanities, seemingly content to silence a voice trying to shake the herds from their comfortable numbness.

In a time when technology is rapidly changing the music experience, DC3 stands at the cutting edge of this revolutionary crossroads. Combining exclusive live concerts and behind-the-scenes content from multi-platinum artists and distributing them through multiple channels, including the latest mobile and digital technology through Rockpit.com, DC3 captures those special moments that bring the complete music experience to the consumer like no other.
