bigted Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Beastie Boys Eyeing Summer For New Album Beastie Boys March 05, 2007, 10:20 AM ET Jeff Vrabel, Bluffton, S.C. An uncharacteristically short three years after their last disc, 2004's "To the 5 Boroughs," the Beastie Boys are putting the finishing touches on a new record. "Hopefully that'll be out this summer, too," group member Adam Yauch tells Billboard. Though he remained characteristically tight-lipped about details, Yauch says the Beasties plan to air out some of the new material in a series of dates this summer, including a headlining slot at the Sasquatch Festival, to be held May 26-27 at the Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Wash. From there, the Beastie Boys head to Europe for a series of festival dates. The band also plays a headlining set in Paris on June 26. As first reported here Friday, Yauch has also produced a new record by the original lineup of Bad Brains, "Build a Nation," due in late May or early June via Megaforce. Here are the Beastie Boys' tour dates: May 27: George, Washington (Sasquatch Festival) June 10: Lisbon (Alive! Festival) June 17: Istanbul (Efes Pilsen One Love Festival) June 22: Scheessel, Germany (Hurricane Festival) June 24: Neuhasen, Germany (Southside Festival) June 26: Paris (Le Zenith) June 28: Werchter, Belgium (Rock Werchter Festival) June 30: Gdynia, Poland (Heineken Festival) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I can't say i've ever been a huge Beastie Boy fan. I've seen a few of their old albums really cheap and picked 'em up. I do like them, but they aren't my paticular flava so i don't listen 2 them often. But i definitly think they are relevant 2 Hip-Hop and it's good 2 hear someone of their caliber dropping an album in these dark days of Hip-Hop and Rap.
