Biography

                               Who are the Beastie Boys? Officially, the Beastie Boys are three:
                         Michael Diamond (aka Mike D), Adam Horovitz (aka King AdRock), and
                         Adam Yauch (aka MCA, Nathanial Hornblower). The original line-up (on
                         Pollywog Stew), was Michael Diamond on vocals, Adam Yauch on
                         bass, Kate Schellenbach (who has since gone on to form Luscious
                         Jackson, the first band to get signed to the Beastie Boys’ Grand Royal
                         record label) on drums, and John Berry on guitar. John, Michael, and
                         Kate started out in a band called The Young Aborigines, but after two
                         gigs they broke up and, enlisting Adam Yauch, formed the original
                         incarnation of the Beastie Boys. When Kate and John left the band,
                         they picked up Adam Horovitz, the bass player for The Young and the
                         Useless, who often opened for the Beastie Boys. Today the Beastie
                         Boys are made up of Michael Diamond (drums, vocals), Adam Horovitz
                         (guitar, vocals), Adam Yauch (vocals, bass), Eric Bobo (percussion), DJ
                         Hurricane Wendell Fyte (turntables), Mark ‘Keyboard Money Mark’
                         Nishita (keyboard), and Amery ‘AWOL’ Smith (drums).
