Chris Cornell has left Audioslave, saying there were “irresolvable personality conflicts as well as musical differences", but fans should be glad to know that the rest of the members will be reuniting with Zach de le Rocha for a one-time performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 29th, 2007 as Rage Against the Machine.
The festival will be held in Indio, California, which is located 26 miles east of Palm Springs and 125 miles east of Los Angeles. It draws many comparisons to Woodstock, and the first Coachella was held on October 9th and 10th, 1999, just three months after the devastating destruction of Woodstock ‘99.
A portion of proceeds from the event will go to an organization called the Indio Youth Task Force. It was created in October 1994 to connect the community with efforts to form a positive direction for youth in their area. A part of their mission statement includes the declaration “we pledge to work toward establishing a community of productive and responsible young people.” The Force holds events such as monthly youth dances, safety presentations and after-school activities for kids in five rental properties. It has also sponsored conflict resolution and motivational education “to further develop the mental well-being of our youth.” The motto of the I.Y.T.F. mimics everything else they stand for; “A commitment to the youth of our community.” To contact the Indio Youth Task Force, call 760-775-3717.
