1981 Beastie Boys-then consisting of Adam Yauch (a/k/a MCA) on bass, drummer Kate Schellenbach (later of Luscious Jackson), guitarist John Berry (of Big Fat Love), and Mike Diamond (a/k/a Mike D) on the mic-debut at Adam Yauch's 17th birthday party. The band plays its first public gigs opening for the likes of Bad Brains and Reagan Youth at venues including CBGB, A7, and-by a hair--Max's Kansas City, where they play on the last night of the club's existence.
Formative gigs at seminal (and mostly defunct) NYC nightspots CBGB, A7, Max's Kansas City, etc. follow. The band plays its very first gigs opening for the likes of Bad Brains and Reagan Youth.
Coupla Questions: Beastie Boys We talked to the three kings about - pretty much everything. Like chicken wings, beverages and Dollywood.
