Hey, ya! Beastie Boys are playing a club show in Chicago on August 6. Crazily, the show is ON SALE NOW. See the official e-newsletter, which I know y'all get, for the purchase code and ticket link.

Remember to tune in to the Zane Lowe show on BBC Radio 1 today at 2 p.m. ET to hear the Beastie Boys play some new songs from Hot Sauce Committee. Zane Lowe tweeted that the band will be playing two new songs. Let's hope it's something other than "B Boys in the Cut" and "Lee Majors Come Again."

Update: Video now available:



Video Transcription

Triumph: It’s the legendary Beastie Boys!

Mike: I know this dog.

Triumph: This is exciting. These are the real original, the first white guys to rap. You know, now there’s a lot of phonies out there trying to do this. But back in the day, it was really just you guys and Will Smith.

Adam H: Right!

Triumph: Seriously, could you possibly look any more like three old Jews? You’re like a living Pep Boys logo.

[Beastie Boys laugh]

Triumph [to Yauch]: I’m seeing a little gray hair on you. You know, you guys have evolved.

Yauch: Hey, what are you going to do?

Triumph: You’ve gone from Check Your Head to Check Your Prostate.

Triumph [rapping]: “Now I’m going to pass the miiiiccc over to yaaaw!”

Mike: You’ve got a future!

Triumph: C’mon, can’t you say, “You’ve got the fuuuturrre”? Is that the waaay you sing?

Adam H: Is that what we really sound like?

Triumph [mocking]: “Is that what we really sound like?”

    Hello from Baltimore

    If the soundcheck is any indicator, the show tonight in Baltimore will be a Beastie geek one. I've heard them soundcheck B for My Name, Off the Grid, Lighten Up, Something's Got to Give, Sabrosa, and Electric Worm—plus some songs that I do not recogize.

    Yauch was playing some Black Sabbath too.
