This August (the 25th to be exact), the Beastie Boys are hitting the stage at The Greek Amphitheater in Berkeley for what is sure to be one of the best shows of the summer. Over the 20 some years that the Beastie Boys have amassed a catalog of songs and albums that will stand the test of time no doubt. While the show itself certainly will be awesome, the bigger news is the Gala Event taking place at The Warfield the night prior... The Boys are doing Gala events during this tour for a more intimate and sophisticated feel. This is coming from the guys who in a previous song used a sample that said "Shii... If this gonna be that kinda a party, I'll stick my dick in the mashed potatoes"
Anyways, here is how they explain it.
THE GALA EVENTS will be in smaller spots, more exclusive, more intimate. This will be more like quality time, our time, just you and the band sitting by a fire on a tropical beach late at night being serenaded with love songs. These shows are for people that are into our weird stuff, so if you want to get weird together, this is your call. These shows will be based around the instruments. Some songs will have vocals, others will be instrumental. BUT if you'd like to come to one of these shows, then DRESS TO IMPRESS, wear a suit, a tie, a dress, a gown or whatever you feel dressed up in... AND PLEASE leave your cargo shorts, birkenstocks and t-shirts at home, this is not that kind of party.
In the meantime, check out this classic B Boys video...
I love when he drinks the dude's soda and then spits it out in the next guys face! Classic! And Classy!
