PROJECT NOISE DEBUTS FIRST PARTNERSHIP WITH ANNOUNCEMENT OF TOM
MORELLO'S "JUSTICE TOUR" 

Ben Harper, Slash, Perry Farrell and others join The Nightwatchman for
7 Dates of Activism and Rock

LOS ANGELES -- Tom Morello, the guitarist for Rage Against The Machine and
Audioslave who plays firebrand folk guitar as The Nightwatchman, launches 
the Justice Tour in Los Angeles on April 15. The two-week outing stops
in New York, New Orleans, Asheville, NC, Washington, DC and Boston before
concluding with a May Day show in Chicago on May 1.

Each stop of the Justice Tour will include a day of activism to focus on a
sphere of social justice in America: homelessness (Los Angeles), safe,
secure and affordable housing (New Orleans), a living wage (Asheville),
peace and veterans care (Washington, DC), affordable healthcare (Boston) and
labor organizing (Chicago). In addition, Amnesty International's TearItDown.org 
Campaign to Close Guantánamo, Project Noise and Morello's own Axis Of
Justice have joined as partner organizations throughout the tour. The
itinerary also includes a previously announced show April 17 at New York's
Nokia Theater to benefit Road Recovery, a nonprofit that helps young people
forge a future free from addiction and other adversities.

"There has been much talk about change this election season, but real
change must start with people, not politicians. No matter who is elected,
we the people must create justice on the ground," said Morello, who
will perform on the Justice Tour as The Nightwatchman. 

Sharing the stage with The Nightwatchman will be different special guests on
each stop of the Justice Tour. Among those who have signed on are Ben
Harper, Slash, Perry Farrell, Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, Davey Havok
of AFI, Boots Riley of the Coup, Maynard James Keenan of Tool and 
Puscifer, Shooter Jennings, State Radio, Mike Einzinger of Incubus 
and MC5 founder Wayne Kramer. In addition, each stop of the tour will 
include a local special guest artist.

While the tour's activism highlights the hard work that must be done to
achieve social justice, its mood is celebratory. "Each night of this tour
is going to be a freedom party," Morello said. "We are going to create
a little bit of the world we'd like to see."

"Throughout American history, progressive change has always been driven
by activists who blow the winds of social change," said Danny Goldberg,
longtime activist and band manager and the author of How The Left Lost Teen
Spirit. "Without such energy, even the most idealistic public officials
cannot prevail against the self-interested partisans of the status
quo."
