Classic Beastie Boys radio interview


Photos by Glen E. Friedman

We received an email from photographer Glen E. Friedman, who directs us to a 1985 radio interview that the Beastie Boys did with KXLU.

Friedman recalls:
I set this up for them when they came to L.A. for the very first time opening for Madonna. I was showing them around town and brought them to my friend Adam Bomb's radio show...This shit is really funny.

Friedman points out that the radio show contains some classic tunes, including Russell Rush's (aka Russell Simmons) rap on Jazzy Jay's record produced by Rick Rubin, and a live version of "Beastie Groove," the Beastie Boys' current record at the time.

Friedman also shared the photos of the Beastie Boys that he took outside the KXLU studio just after the show.

The live version of "Beastie Groove" is hilarious. I especially like all the fart noises.
