I hope the Beastie Boys aren’t getting tired of guitars, drums, and bass already. They have expanded their tour schedule to include all out hip hop shenanigans with just the occasional “Exclusive Instrumental Show.” These 3 boys have yet to disappoint me, so I will trust in their tour plans. I’m quite impressed with how much I still love their music, and how they continue to release really exciting albums. They are doing a much better job than Bjork as far as remaining relevant and fresh musically.
Beastie Boys Hip Hop Shows
8/1 Philadelphia - Festival Pier
8/6 Boston - Bank of America Pavilion
8/8 New York - Summerstage
8/9 Brooklyn - McCarren Pool
8/16 Denver - Red Rocks
8/23 Santa Barbara - County Bowl
8/25 Berkeley - Greek Theater
What’s this I see - a McCarren Pool performance? Excellent!
A recent press release mentioned that there would be more events scheduled in the near future that would have The Mix Up configuration, thus more guitars, drums and bass instrumentals. I will be watching the BBoys site more updates, and will let you know when I find them. The Mix Up is released on June 26th.

Big Up Beastie Boys for staying relevant for this long, coz you know in Rap thats an impossible move to pull these days. To me they’ll always be the B-boys/rockers who just loved to party !!! If your a BBoys fan then you’ll atleast appreciate the Yaris dj vs dj battle tour thats been going down from city to city with nothing but the illest djs going at it. Tonite, June 21st the battle moves to D.C at Love the club & Kid Capri will in the house to set it off, but its not too late for any Dj who wants to be down, you can still catch the Chi-town battle. Tonite’s winner gets 2Gs and a trip to Chi-town for the finals. To get more info about tonite’s battle or the upcoming battle in Chi-town, just log onto http://www.yarisversusyaris.com/. Just spreading the good word since i work with Toyota.
