In July 2008, De la Rocha and the drummer Jon Theodore , formerly of the Mars Volta , released an EP as One Day as a Lion . In August 2008, during the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Rage headlined the free Tent State Music Festival to End the War . They were supported by Flobots , State Radio , Jello Biafra , and Wayne Kramer . Following the concert, the band, following uniformed veterans from the advocacy group Iraq Veterans Against the War , led the 8,000 attendees to the Denver Coliseum on a six-mile march to Invesco Field, host of the DNC. After a four-hour stand-off with police, the Obama campaign agreed to meet with members of Iraq Veterans Against the War and hear their demands.
