Jon Theodore, voormalig drummer van The Mars Volta, werkt sinds kort samen met Rage Against The Machine-frontman Zach De La Rocha. Beide muzikanten vormen een duo onder de naam One Day As a Lion.
"The name is taken from the infamous 1970 black and white, captured by legendary Chicano photographer George Rodriguez featuring a center framed tag on a white wall in an unspecified section of Boyle Heights. It reads: ‘It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb.’ This record is a stripped down attempt to realize this sentiment in sound.”
