As announced by Mike D, Adrock and MCA themselves last night on NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon (check their performance below), the title for the upcoming new Beastie Boys album will be HOT SAUCE COMMITTEE. The band's eighth album of all new original material will be out this fall, with an exact date to be confirmed shortly.
In related news, an extremely limited vinyl seven inch featuring HOT SAUCE COMMITTEE hardcore punk rave-up “Lee Majors Come Again" and an A Capella version of the new album's “B Boys In The Cut" has been turning up golden ticket style in random copies of the recently released Check Your Head deluxe limited collector's vinyl edition. One copy was found selling for $105 on eBay - $25 above the list price of the original Check Your Head package in which it was included.
Additionally, the release date of the penultimate title in this summer's deluxe remastered Beastie Boys series has been confirmed: Ill Communication will get the reissue treatment on July 14, with Beastieboys.com preorders beginning July 6.
Finally, as previously reported, Beastie Boys return to the road this summer, beginning with a June 12 appearance at the Bonnaroo festival in Manchester, TN. The band will then headline the July 31 opening night of this year's All Points West festival at New Jersey's Liberty State Park, play August 2 at the Osheaga festival in Montreal and August 8 at Lollapalooza in Chicago, and round out the summer with a return to S.F.'s Golden Gate Park, this time for an August 29 stand at the Outside Lands festival. Confirmed fall dates at present are a September 24 at the Hollywood Bowl and October 2 at the Austin City Limits festival. For up to date tour info go here.
