THE NIGHTWATCHMAN DEBUT ALBUM AVAILABLE APRIL 24!
The Nightwatchman is Tom Morello.
Musician and political and social activist Tom Morello's stark new album as The Nightwatchman, 'One Man Revolution,' (April 24, Epic Records) is a dark, urgent portrait of a world in turmoil, 13 songs of "bitterness and revenge." Morello, the Grammy Award-winning guitarist of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, compares war zones in the US and Iraq, proclaims that Jesus was black and pinpoints the sociopolitical struggles of the American leftist underground in the series of self-penned originals, singing and playingacoustic guitar for the first time on record.
'One Man Revolution' was produced by Brendan O'Brien, who has worked with Morello on Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave albums. O'Brien also produced Bruce Springsteen's 'The Rising' and 'Devils & Dust,' as well as albums by Pearl Jam and Incubus. The Nightwatchman is planning an extensive spring tour, including appearances at South By Southwest in March and the Coachella Festival in April.
Morello has performed as The Nightwatchman for four years at political events and on 2003's Tell Us the Truth tour. He has presided over a Hotel Café residency in LA since November, which has featured many of his musical cohorts including Serj Tankian, Perry Farrell, Shooter Jennings, Nuno Bettencourt, Queen V, Sen-Dog from Cypress Hill, Jill Sobule, Boots Riley of The Coup, Alexi Murdoch, Jon Foreman from Switchfoot, Wayne Kramer from MC5 and others. The Tuesday night residency wraps up February 6,but the shows will resume later in the spring.
