Over the summer I got to take pics of Prophets of Rage (who “Prophets Of Rage combines the sonic firepower of Rage Against The Machine, Public Enemy and Cypress Hill”) and one of the openers Awolnation for Japanese publication rockin’on (RO69) back on August 27th 2016 at Barclays Center. Akemi’s interview / piece went up after the election and you can find it here. The Awolnation pics weren’t to be part of the article and most of the pics of Prophets of Rage weren’t posted so I wanted to share the best of the bunch here now. I do wish Prophets of Rage had been more outspoken politically on stage, but at least I got to hear so many great Rage Against the Machine songs live. Check out a ton of photos after the jump.
