update: beastie boys show on friday is instrumental
Via livemusicblog [#], an announcement from Beastie Boys about their pre-Sasquatch show on Friday:
Dear patrons of the arts. To usher in the summer concerto season, we will be staging an exclusive Gala event this Friday, May 25 in the glorious city of Seattle, Washington, at a cozy little venue called the Crocodile Cafe. Please join us to “Lick Shots” and ring in this most wonderful time of year. “Touch yourself.”
Beastie Boys – A Gala Event – Exclusive Instrumental Show
Friday, May 25th / Seattle, WA – Crocodile CafeTickets on sale Wednesday, May 23rd at 4pm. [ticketmaster]
Anyone lining up for tickets & fees?
Their new album and Sasquatch performance are also instrumental only.
They have two Sasquatch performances. Saturday’s is also labeled “Beastie Boys – A Gala Event – Exclusive Instrumental Show!!!”. I’m guessing they’ll play other stuff at their mainstage show the next day?
I’m glad they are finally posting that these shows are their instrumental stuff. I have a feeling that all those fans at the Croc that made the show sellout in about 5 minutes are not going to be having the best of times.
I’ve been a Beastie fan for quite a while and while I don’t really dislike the instrumental stuff, it’s definitely way different than what they’ve done before (unless you count some of the super early punk rock stuff).
