I understand that it's tonight. (http://www.oregonlive.com/music/index.ssf/2012/06/beastie_boys_salute_jkdc_bill.html).. Sorry for a short notice...

BEASTIE BOYS TRIBUTE NIGHT
9 p.m. Saturday, Wonder Ballroom, $10, ticketfly.com

Even if you were a fan, it might have been a shock to watch the scope and influence of the Beastie Boys revealed in the weeks following the May 4 death of Adam MCA Yauch. Generations of musicians in every imaginable genre celebrated the group that began in the mid 1980s as snot-nosed, raunchy kids and grew into conscious activists and artists.

Portland musicians have lined up to pay tribute, with money going to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Vursatyl and Shines, from Lifesavas, will host. Doctor Theopolis, Old Light, the Buttery Lords, Mic Crenshaw and plenty more are lined up to perform.

Thanks for the heads up, all the way from Sweden! I already have my tickets and have recruited everyone I can possibly think of to come with me. I am super excited, trying to figure out which Beastie Boys shirt I should wear! ;)

I don't know if anyone caught the tribute video made by a Portland dad with his kids a la Sabotage, it circulated Facebook quite a bit. I think they will be playing that video at the beginning.
