Beastie Boys Instrumental Set Ends with a Bang and Some Bubbly

Headlining the main stage tonight, The Beastie Boys are sure to rock a Gorge full of dehydrated indie kids. Last night, those boys from NYC took the Wookie stage adorned in classy duds and definately classed up the joint. The small stage crowd quickly got rowdy. Like Ozzfest rowdy.

During the second half of the set, an odd occurance took place as many females is the crowd started getting nasty. I myself was caught in-between a chick fight at one point. The two cycling broads were throwing down old school style. Mr Yauch even had to ask them to settle. Shortly after, a couple girls, no strangers to the Goose (no doubt) worked their way in front of 'ol MJ. These ladies had some dirty (and quite suggestive) signage to show the performers. Any other band (minus Manson) would shy from addressing these requests, however, Adam took some time on-stage to discuss their desires. That only seemed to perpetuate the naughty behaviour and soon the crowd was full of foul-mouthed girlies and exposed nipples.

The Boys ended their set with Sabotage. This sent the front of the stage into a moshing frenzie. As soon as Adam let out that classic first note, dreads and backpacks were flying everywhere. For a curtain call, the entire band re-addressed the crowd with glasses of Dom. The ever-entertaining Money Mark made a toast from atop his keyboards. All the kids liked that. Their encore began with Sure Shot and included a slew of older punk tunes.

Tonight the Beasties promised their set would get much nastier. Money Mark mentioned that we should expect a special guest. Michael Diamond quickly hinted at Jessica Simpson and Akon, whoever they are. Maybe Louis and Clark? Don't know what to expect...well other than an amazing hip-hop experience courtesy of a legendary group. Remember goslings, these are the guys that made hip-hop hipster-cool.
