For supporters of mine who don't know:


Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine/Audioslave) and I have made a new group and recorded an album together.



The group is called Street Sweeper Social Club.


That's the name of the album, too.



I wrote all the lyrics and did the vocals. 

He did all of the music.


The songs are funk/rock anthems for the revolution.



The album comes out on June 16th.


I need everyone who is going to buy the album to buy it that first day or pre-order it now, this will increase possibilities for the album to get out there.


I need all the folks who have promoted my work in the past and supported us- to amazing lengths at times- to help promote this album. We only have about 4 weeks. 



If you want to hear 4 of the tracks, go to http://www.myspace.com/streetsweepersocialclub


To join our "Street Team" go to http://www.streetsweepersocialclub.com


After you hear the songs and decide that you're down, I need you to post blogs, bulletins, and twitter about it.


Our single, "100 Little Curses" is the #8 song (#4 requested) on KROQ in LA. It's on a few other stations, too. So, if you're a radio listener call and request it on whatever your station is. 


If you join the Street Team, there'll be other ways you can help.



We are on tour now with Nine Inch Nails and Jane's Addiction.

No, I'm not afraid of technology. I'm afraid of how the role of technology in this system is to keep us isolated and pacified while making us more efficient for those who wish to exploit us. But you can say the same of education under this system. I will still use both for a different agenda.


Love and Fire.

Boots
