Starting this Friday, the Rude Mechanical Orchestra is taking our show on the
road - in our newly converted school bus that runs on waste veggie oil. We'll
be traveling cross country on a two-week adventure -- to cross-pollinate with
progressive grassroots organizations and other amazing movers and shakers, and
to loudly register our dissent at the Republican National Convention. Along our
journey, we plan to raise awareness about and support groups and individuals
fighting against racism, sexism, homophobia, war and violence in all its forms.

Please see the full tour schedule below: if you're going to be in one of
these places, come see us! If you know anyone in these towns, please let them
know we're coming! To get more details on the events and organizations below,
