Stanton Moore to Release New Studio Album with Tom Morello and Boots Riley
Written by Mike Greenhaus Monday, 14 January 2008
Galactic drummer Stanton Moore has recently completed a series of studio sessions with Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello and rapper Boots Riley. The unlikely trio are scheduled to release the project under the name the Street Sweeper via Epic Records this spring. As first reported by New Orleans’ The Times-Picayune, Moore first met Morello at a November 2006 Future of Music Coalition benefit concert held at Tipitina's and the new friends first bonded while standing at the bar of Ernie K-Doe's Mother-in-Law Lounge. Meanwhile, Boots Riley is one of the many MCs who appeared on Galactic’s 2007 hip-hop disc, From the Corner to the Block.
Morello recently reunited with his Rage Against the Machine bandmates for a series of shows, including an appearance at October’s Vegoose (an event which is co-produced by Galactic managers Superfly Presents). The guitarist also performed at Bonnaroo as The Nightwatchman.
This provides a very interesting possibility for future Roo-age...

As long as Morello is not writing the lyrics or singing for that matter I will be down with it! I watched him as the Night Watchman last year and I simply did not like it one bit. If he just sticks to what he does best, playing guitar, it would be awesome!
