Rage Against the Machine to Perform at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy June 4

Rage Against the Machine will be performing live at the Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy on June 4 at 8:00 pm.

 Los Angeles born, the American heavy metal band, Rage Against the Machine is headed by Zack de la Rocha with Tom Morello on guitar, Tim Commerford on bass and Brad Wilk on the drums.  Drawing inspiration from Public Enemy and Afrika Bambaataa, the group is known for their unique blend of hip hop, heavy metal and punk as well as la Rocha’s stage energy and rhyming style and Morello’s guitar techniques.

The band released their first album, self titled, in 1992.  After their appearance in the 1993 Lollapalooza, the band did not release an album until 1996 when they released Evil Empire.  Another three years later the group released a third album, The Battle of Los Angeles.  The group, however, broke up shortly after the release of their fourth album, Renegades, in 2000.

La Rocha went on to form Audioslave with Chris Cornell of Soundgarden.

Built in 1984, the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy is the location for the Paris Masters ATP Tour tennis tournament.  The facility can accommodate anywhere from 7,000 to 18,000 guests depending on the event.
