We missed out on our Rage Against the Machine reunion show at Boston Calling over the weekend, so let’s medicate with pre-Rage Zack de la Rocha.
Zack cut his teeth as a frontman for L.A. hardcore band Inside Out. In this recently unearthed clip, you can watch de la Rocha prowl the stage with all the intensity you’d expect. The gig was recorded at Spanky’s Cafe in Riverside, CA on May 19, 1990, so it just marked 30 years. How time flies.
