We're throwing a Beastie Boys dance party for MCA w/ Pop Montreal

Posted by Greg / May 10, 2012

20120510-BeastieBoys.jpgLast Friday the music world lost a great artist, innovator, and humanitarian when Adam Yauch, aka MCA of the Beastie Boys, died following a long battle with cancer. We've teamed up with Pop Montreal to honour him in the spirit of his work: with a big dance party. Door proceeds will go to the Canadian Cancer Society. The evening will feature appearances from members of the Montreal DJ community. It's all happening on May 18th at Jackie & Judy. Check out the event page for more information and stay tuned for announcements on the lineup and other cool stuff. Best be getting started on a Beastie Boys costume!!!

In the meantime, if you need any help remembering why Adam Yauch was awesome, go here.

MCA and the boys gave us so much inspiration - guts - and the energy to kick it! his voice echoes in the club, in the gym at warm-up before those basketball games... it pumped us up.

it was so cool to be yourself - thanks to beastie boys - so many took the chance and created their NEW STYLE - thanks.
