You may remember a few years back, June 2013 to be exact, Juxtapoz Magazine (with the great work of contributing editor, Joey Garfield), curated an entire "Beastie Boys Issue," dedicated to the intersecting art, fashion and culture stories surrounding the legendary career of the Beastie Boys. From Todd James to Bruce Davidson, Cey Adams to ADRock himself, we told the stories from the artists themselves about how not only the Beastie Boys influenced them, but how art and culture was evolving throughout the 1980s—2000s. Well, now something special: the boys are releasing a new 600-page book, Beastie Boys Book, and having a special book tour to go along with it this Fall.
In celebration of the October 30 release of Beastie Boys Book (Spiegel & Grau), Adam “Adrock” Horovitz and Michael “Mike D” Diamond will embark on the six-night four-city Beastie Boys Book: Live & Direct event tour.
Each night of Beastie Boys Book: Live & Direct will feature readings, conversations between Mike D, Adrock and a special guest moderator, Q&A sessions--all with a live score provided by Mix Master Mikeand a brand new Beastie Boys exhibit, curated by Beastie Boys & Beyond the Streets in partnership with adidas Skateboarding. Sonos will provide the sound experience at each exhibit, playing a mixtape curated by Adrock and Mike D.
As if that’s not enough, every ticket for Beastie Boys Book: Live & Direct comes with a physical copy of Beastie Boys Book—to be redeemed upon entrance to the event.
