Mike D returned to the stage to perform Beastie Boys songs with his sons and continued with new activity after earlier California dates. He played shows in Brooklyn at Xanadu on Friday and Saturday, May 22–23. His set included “So What’cha Want” and “Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun,” and in New York he added “Hello Brooklyn,” drawn from Paul’s Boutique’s “B-Boy Bouillabaisse” collage. He also performed his recent solo singles “Switch Up” and “What We Got,” plus additional songs not yet released. His sons Davis and Skyler joined him, with their band Very Nice Person opening each night as part of his 5D band.
"Following his return to the stage to play Beastie Boys songs with his sons earlier this month, Mike D has kept busy, releasing his first new songs in over a decade and playing some intimate shows. After a pair of California dates earlier this month, he headed to Brooklyn over the weekend for shows at Xanadu on Friday and Saturday (5/22-5/23)."
"Like in Los Angeles, his set included the two Beastie Boys songs he's been doing, "So What'cha Want" and "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun," and NYC also got a third, "Hello Brooklyn," which is part of Paul's Boutique' s "B-Boy Bouillabaisse" collage. He also played his recent solo singles "Switch Up" and "What We Got," along with some more songs that have yet to be released."
"Like they do on the new singles, his sons' Davis and Skyler joined him for the shows (their band Very Nice Person also opened each night), making up part of his 5D band. See pictures from night one by Sachyn Mital, along with attendee-taken video from both nights, below."
