Tom Morello Announces U.S. Tour Dates

We were more than stoked when Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello brought his The Atlas Underground live show to London. Now, it looks like American audiences will get a chance to see Tom play his new record live, as he's just announced a list of U.S. tour dates in support of the album.

The tour is being hailed as The Atlas Underground: The Last Big Event Before We All Go To Jail. Whether or not the insane list of guest musicians who appeared on Tom's album will appear along the tour remains to be seen, but we can only hope (fingers crossed that Tom invites out Denzel Curry to perform his killer cover of Bulls On Parade).

Marvel at how one dude can make those sounds with a guitar at the dates below:

Tom spoke at great length about The Atlas Underground during his recent In Conversation talk with us. Of the song Sleight Of Hand, he said, “It was going to be the first single for [the 2006 album] but Timmy really hated it because he thought it sounded like a Danzig song, which is weird. He yelled ‘Fuck you’ a lot to the head of the label. We said, ‘Let’s not put it on the record because we’re about to get dropped.’ That one will see the light of day.”
