Beastie Boys Adam "Ad Rock", Horovitz, and Michael "Mike D" Diamond went to the Kings Theater stage at Flatbush on Tuesday night as part of their "Beastie Boys Book: Live & Direct" tour to celebrate their new memory .
The band has not played – and will not – since the death of Adam "MCA" Yauch in 2012.
But reading the book was far from being a question.
Two full hours were filled with group stories, costume changes, skits and giant screens showing pictures and video montages while DJ Mix Master, Mike, provided the soundtrack.
Horovitz read in the book about the band's first cult hit: "The idea of our song" Cooky Puss "was that we were making fun of Malcolm McLaren's song" Buffalo Gals. "That song was huge in our environment and our scene. "
He added, "We liked the song. But in New York, you can not really love anything. You know? The pizza is fine. I mean, I've been eating pizza since the beginning of the day, so whatever.
The duo also appeared at Town Hall and will tour Los Angeles, San Francisco and London. The 571-page volume, published by Spiegel & Grau, includes contributions by Colson Whitehead, Kate Schellenbach, Roy Choi, Amy Poehler, and André Leon Talley.
