Mixin' It Up With the Beasties...

The Beastie Boys have announced that they have a new album ready to come out of the oven in June. The new effort is appropriately named The Mix Up, as it will be an all instrumental album...that's right, all instrumental!!! How 'bout that for mixing up your mind? Maybe not what you would expect from Brooklyn's finest. But, if you remember their last instrumental release, The In Sound From Way Out, it was fresh and funky and full of groove. Word is this album will feature a bit more rock.
Here is the track list:
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

No doubt, The Beasties will be performing some new tracks at the Virgin Festival in Baltimore this August...but that may not be the only place you can catch them. A recent e-mail newsletter mentioned that more U.S. dates would be coming soon. We're ready...bring it on.
