VIDEO: BEASTIE BOYS - 'Off the Grid' ++ instrumental new album cover & track list
For their new album, Beastie Boys are bringin' it instrumentally.....
BEASTIE BOYS GO INSTRUMENTAL, AGAIN
The Mix-Up
All-Instrumental Album Out June 26Mike "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch and Adam "Adrock" Horovitz have confirmed a June 26 release date for their seventh studio album, The Mix-Up, on Capitol Records.
The Mix-Up is Beastie Boys' first-ever full album of all-new instrumental material. The follow-up to 2004's To The 5 Boroughs, The Mix-Up features Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch back on drums, guitar and bass, with able assistance from Keyboard Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals. Sure to please fans of the instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication and the cult hit compilation album made up largely of those tracks, The In Sound From Way Out!, The Mix-Up finds NYC's favorite sons drawing on one of their arsenal's primary strengths and pushing it into bold new directions.
Beastie Boys will kick off a summer's worth of worldwide touring May 26 & 27 with two sets at the Sasquatch! Festival at the Gorge in Washington State. The band will be playing at several European festivals throughout June and July, including Live Earth at Wembley Stadium on July 7.
The complete track listing for The Mix-Up is:
1. B For My Name
2. 14th St. Break
3. Suco De Tangerina
4. The Gala Event
5. Electric Worm
6. Freaky Hijiki
7. Off The Grid
8. The Rat Cage
9. The Melee
10. Dramastically Different *
11. The Cousin Of Death
12. The Kangaroo Rat* Yes "Dramastically" is intentional.
Thx AD for the video tip.

It's great to see bands take chances. The Beasties Boys have the money, they should experiment as much as they could. Good for them. Very daring to make an instrumental album nowadays for such a major band.
I love instrumental music, that said, that track is just above average. Nothing that makes me say wow. Good working with headphones music.

I've loved the Beastie Boys FOREVER! I've been a HUGE fan since "Licensed to Ill" and have never wavered. No matter what they do, I'll always love them and I bet this album will be GREAT!! Looking forward to it.
