NewsBeastie Boys thrill LA crowd with classic tracksBeastie Boys rolled out old favourites and gave fans a taste of their new instrumental material at the second of three sold-out shows in Los Angeles last night (August 20). Dressed sharply in shiny dark suits, sunglasses and fedoras, the New York trio worked the crowd at the Greek Theatre with their thumping beats and call-and-response raps. "We played here last night, and tonight's crowd is kicking last night's crowd in the ass!" shouted Mike D, midway through their nearly two-hour set. In addition to backing from Mix Master Mike on decks and Money Mark on keyboards, two percussionists added Latin and jazz rhythms to their sophisticated new material. But it was the classics such as 'Brass Monkey' and 'Gratitude' that got the crowd roaring. "This is the adult section of the show -- it's gonna get a little raunchy," said Ad-Rock before launching into 'Time To Get Ill', during which they sang a verse from MIA's 'Galang'. A mixer malfunction left the Beastie Boys singing 'Intergalactic' a capella, and the crowd joined in until the mixer kicked back in for the final chorus. Beastie Boys are set to play an all-instrumental show focusing on their new album, 'The Mix Up', at the Los Angeles Wiltern Theatre tonight (August 21). Hard-Fi launch album with intimate Radio 1 session Hard-Fi played an intimate session for Radio 1 tonight (September 3) - and announced their third tour of 2007. Playing an hour long set for Zane Lowe's show in front of a tiny audience at the BBC's Maida Vale studios, the band performed tracks from new album 'Once Upon A Time In The West' which was released earlier the same day. Kicking off with single 'Suburban Knights', the Staines band included the likes of 'Television' and 'We Need Love' as they told Lowe they are set to hit the road again this year, following a tiny pub tour and their current club dates already this year. "We're announcing some dates for December," explained frontman Richard Archer. "I don't know much about them but I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. But look out for them, they should be out next week." With the set also including several first album favourites like 'Cash Machine' and a thumping version of 'Hard To Beat' - "which requires some jumping around and general going bananas" noted Archer - the singer explained he was glad to be touring again. "All the stuff we went through to make the record stops today as it's out, so it's good going to be out on the road now, it feels where we should be," he told Lowe adding that there current set of dates had already proven eventful. "We played Southsea a couple of nights ago and the lights went out in the middle if the gig. They were out for two numbers... But it was good," he said. "People got their mobile phones out and there were a couple of torches, it was good a bit like New York in power cut." Hard-Fi played: 'Suburban Knights' 'Tied Up Too Tight' 'Can't Get Alone Without You' 'Television' 'Cash Machine' 'Tonite' 'We Need Love' 'I Shall Overcome' 'Hard To Beat' 'Living For The Weekend' |
