My Morning Jacket, Nine Inch Nails, Billy Bragg Join Arizona Boycott

More bands join Sound Strike, an organization urging fellow artists to boycott Arizona in light of the state legislature's passage of SB 170, legalizing racial profiling. The law is set to go into effect on July 29. The list of musicians and comedians refusing to play the Grand Canyon State, unless the law is repealed, includes Massive Attack, Conor Oberst, Yeasayer, Rage Against the Machine, Ben Harper, Chris Rock, Maroon 5, Sonic Youth, Kanye West, DJ Spooky and more.
