Yeah Yeah Yeahs to Fill In For The Beasties at Lollapalooza

As many of you have heard by now MCA has been diagnosed with cancer and thus The Beastie Boys' tour has been canceled. We wish MCA a smooth recovery.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are scheduled to fill the void @ Lollapalooza August 8th.

I'm hoping Karen O, of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, throws some Beastie in her setlist...I'm thinkin maybe a Yeah Yeah Yeahs rendition of HEART ATTACK MAN. What do you think?.

'AHH WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT PARTYIN' OR ANYTHING ELSE?'

Not sure who is gonna step up at All Points West since Yeah Yeah Yeahs will already be performing. We shall keep you posted as new information leaks.

B BOYS - Heart Attack Man

Beastie Boys To Reissue 1992's 'Check Your Head'

Is your name Michael Diamond? Naw. Mine's Clarence.

When I was in junior high all I really wanted was to be was a Beastie Boy. Nothing wrong with wanting to be a white jewish rapper from Brooklyn (MCA was always my favorite) right? All of a sudden this year the "Three MC's and One DJ" are back in the news. They already did the reissue of 1989's sample-heavy classic 'Paul's Boutique', they're set to headline at Bonnaroo, are rumored to be on the bill for Lollapalooza, and are reported to be releasing a new album this year.
In keeping up with what is becoming a busy year for the Beastie Boys they will be reissuing 1992's 'Check Your Head' in digital form March 30th with the hard copy coming out April 7th. The reissue will feature bonus tracks along with other Beastie bells and whistles.
Take a trip down memory lane and go catch the Beasties' performance on Arsenio Hall (woop, woop) with DJ Hurricane and B Real from Cypress Hill.
Aiiiiight.
