As promised, the Beastie Boys have confirmed a handful of mostly instrumental shows in support of their new album The Mix-Up. The trio recently announced a series of series of traditional Beastie Boys shows at relatively small rooms in August. The group’s instrumental shows will take place between the group’s previously confirmed live dates. The group’s Mix-Up shows will take place August 10 at New York’s  Hammerstein Ballroom, August 17 at Denver’s Fillmore, August 20 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theater and August 24 at San Francisco’s The Warfield.

While billed as instrumental gigs, these performances will include some vocal songs.“These shows are for people that are into our weird stuff,” the group explains.  “Some songs will have vocals, others will be instrumental. Already here in Europe, people have called us liars for playing songs with vocals during our so called ‘instrumental’ shows, so be it. We lie and are proud of it. Anyways, if you'd like to come to one of these shows, then dress to impress, wear a suit, a tie, a dress, your Grandma’s broach or whatever you feel good in... BUT PLEASE leave your cargo shorts, Birkenstocks and t-shirts at home, this is not that kind of party.”
