Chicago band Rise Against played Wolverhampton last Wednesday. All 4 members of the band are vegetarian. At least 3 PETA street team members were at the show getting folk to sign the KFC petition and giving out PETA stickers. There was also a PETA stall near the merch stalls featuring leaflets and stickers. Near the end of the show Tim McIlrath (vocalist of Rise Against) dedicated a song to the vegetarians in the audience. They also played their single 'Ready To Fall', the video of which features animal cruelty footage. You can check out the video at the bottom of www.blackvelvetmagazine.com/animals.htm
