please, mr. adrock, stop it with this already - please!

cosign x 10

[JoLovesMCA]

please, mr. adrock, stop it with this already - please!

Don’t like Bridgett? I don’t know, I was reading comments elsewhere and it seems some other fans don't like the touring with Bridgett.... I don’t care much for her but I am glad he’s out doing something that makes him happy.

Anyway just passing the news. :cool:

[Jiberish]

please, mr. adrock, stop it with this already - please!

It's pretty punk for him to be DJing for this ridiculous act. And it's funny.

[abbott]

you mean people don't like the New York sensation? Shit... if I wasn't married i'd be all over that. I mean if I were lucky.

I mean if I was not married and lucky.

[Nicodemus]

Got my tickets! I've never seen him DJ live. Looking forward.

[pshabi]

cosign x 10

If he enjoys it, then have at it. I don't particularly care for the act itself. It's stupid, not funny, and pretty much blows. If it came to my town and he was DJing, I'd probably go to see him.

I guess I'm cosignin' X 1/2 then?

:confused:

[Michelle*s_Farm]

That is some quality shit (http://youtu.be/6Bh5QAg4ZCU). Wish I lived in LA.

[Jiberish]

:confused:


Things are often funny because they are stupid.

[M|X|Y]

yeah, i'd prob check it out because, shit, adrock. which is probably why this show gets a lot of its attention. its cool that he's having fun. there are a lot of talented artists out there that he could also be having fun with.

the only way i'd could co-sign on this if its he's doing this to help break the mold of the typical female ideal, giving support to an untraditional sort of "star".

i don't see this as punk. yeah its cool that he is secure enough to not give a shit and get with this act. aside from the whole confident big girl thing, i just don't really dig it her act.

no big deal, just i want to see m'man making great music of his own and being supported by others -he's the king, dammit! he should be fronting it

ah well

[YoungRemy]

I've always wanted Bridget to bring her act out West.

thanks for the info.

is he DJ'ing, though?

I was thinking more Gala Eventy, instrumenty, bringing out familiar faces as well as showcasing "the act"

[LuciferHam]

I didn't realise Adrock had been supporting this comedian till now. It's alright, but I too would like to see him do is own thing. Bring back BS2000 could be one idea?

Then again, if this is what the dude wants to do, then why the fuck not.

[beasties#1fan]

Agree

[JoLovesMCA]

Well I think we all want to see Adrock just do what he does best. How long has he been doing shows with her? I am not too familiar with her. I’ve watched only a handful of shows with Adrock present and that’s about it. Adrock is such a talented musician and it would be great to see him making music again but perhaps he needs more time. We’ll see.

I am not sure if he would be doing much DJing since it's her show.

[pshabi]

That is some quality shit (http://youtu.be/6Bh5QAg4ZCU). Wish I lived in LA.

NO

I definitely cosign x 10 after watching that clip, but I feel guilty about it cause it's Adam. Me=fanboy

[Michelle*s_Farm]

NO

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I think it is funny and challenges perceptions and expectations.

Obviously this is not Adam's primary contribution to music and culture (that was HSC pt 2 last year), but a quirky side project. I would not expect any fresh pressed primary contributions from Adam and the usual suspects until 2014.

[pm0ney]

I have no problem with the act, she's free to do whatever she wants. I just wonder from a psychological perspective what compels her to do this sort of act. I'd bet she's got all sorts of issues and insecurities wrapped under that blanket of "I'm a fat girl hear me roar!" Imagine the backlash that this act would get if it was a really attractive girl with a perfect body bragging about herself?

Adrock can do whatever he wants but the whole thing is pretty cringeworthy to me.

Sometimes performance art is designed to be cringeworthy. I recall when I first watched The Office (UK version) it was difficult in some respects. Trailer Park Boys (Canada) was another show that at times was too much. There are better examples than those shows. Perhaps some of Lenny Bruce's work landed well (http://youtu.be/gDkoCtMOFOg), other times not.

[Nicodemus]

Looks like he'll be on the bass. Interested to see which "friends" of his will be appearing.

[Uru-Nitro]

3:31 till the end = insane beat

[JohnnyChavello]

I laughed. Hashtag titties is funny.

[Jiberish]

what makes you say that?

i don't care how she looks, i just don't like the act, music, whatever.

From the link the Beasties put up on facebook.

Oh the only link I saw was the one in this thread and he was DJing.

[YoungRemy]

I get the feeling that the L.A. crowds are going to show up thinking they are seeing "Adrock rapping on the microphone again" and they are going to get a Downtown NY cabaret/raunch act.

I'm all for it.

[Micodin]

I'd maybe catch it if it was in town, I had free fix, free (lots) drinks, and not a work night.

On second thought, nah.

I support Adrock and I'm glad he's having fun.

This just isn't my bag and I don't think I could sit through it.

[WesleyOHSnaps!]

I 100% support Adrock like the rest of you, but I couldn't make it through that show. I couldn't even make it through the You Tube Clip.

[LuciferHam]

I kinda found the little nippy titties gag funny the more I thought about it.

[Documad]

It would be awkward to be the person doing something with him. On one hand, I suppose you want an audience, but on the other hand there's a good chance it will be the wrong audience. Hopefully anyone who buys a ticket to the Largo will know there's a better than average chance that it's meant to be comedy. It seems like the right venue for this sort of thing -- it's dumpy in a good way. The last time I was there it was half empty and freezing cold which added to the atmosphere.

If I was in the town, I'd go.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah I'd show love regardless.

[cj hood]

my boy saw Adrock yesterday with this crew on 31st street. he was carrying a guitar...assuming they were going to practice.

That is a good story. I would love to see him release something one of these days (hopefully with Mike D and a few other choice luminaries).

[YoungRemy]

I'm almost 100% positive BE & The Tender Moments recorded an album at OScope.

my boy told me.

[M|X|Y]

i hope mike d and adam will form a supergroup with that lady (y)

sez my boy in da army wit salamis please

[JoLovesMCA]

I don’t think a lot of fans really realize what it will be with Bridgett. I think a lot of people will be under the impression that it’s mainly his show. I am all for another BS 2000 or anything where he puts his creative music genius to use. He’s also just composed music for a film so he’s doing other things on the side too.

[Micodin]

I heard that Adam will forming a supergroup with the members of Supertramp and the Dancehall King Supercat will be MCing.

My boy that lives in LA that knows Beagle Bomb told me.

[ClarenceAlabama]

If I saw an ad promoting a Adrock solo show, I would think he would be performing BS 2000 songs, some cover songs and maybe Live at PJ's, Gratitude and Sabotage.

I would be disappointed if it turned into some cabaret show. I would demand a refund!

[JoLovesMCA]

Well here is a new interview with Adrock and Bridgett about the show tomorrow. ;)

[MrSmiley1]

I finally got around to looking up who BE was. I fail to see how what she does is any less offensive/scandalous than anything the boys did on stage during the LTI era shows. This is definitely a step back for Ad-Rock in my opinion. To each his own, I guess.

[kll]

Looking forward to attending on Sunday. Should be interesting.

it shouldn't matter. dude is making music with his friends on his own time and his own terms. this just happens to be comedy/cabaret/performance art.

hers is a character, an act.

just like his in that era was.

It's been a while since I've called someone a dumbass on here...

[YoungRemy]

Looks like fredo will perform. Sunny bak and $ Mark having a drink

[Nicodemus]

I must say that Horovitz is a great bass player. Good dancer as well.

[MCScoobyT]

So how was it? What was it? Recap and review plz

[beasties#1fan]

Looks like fredo will perform. Sunny bak and $ Mark having a drink
So sunny ended up going? cause she was trying to sell her tickets. Fredo posted some rad pics on instagram

[Nicodemus]

Went to a sushi place before the show. Horovitz and the Tender Moments guys walked in. Too many tables were reserved so they went down the street to a Vegan place. They walked past us into the venue. Adam's still smoking, but so am I, so whatever. We went in and had a drink at the bar where Money Mark was ordering a bottle of Cristal.

Adam came out on stage alone at first and was basically the emcee, introducing two comedians. Then the Bridget/Tender Moments show started. There was a few songs I had already seen on youtube. I was surprised how tight the band was. Sounded like they've been rehearsing like crazy. It was a pleasant surprise to see Fredo on percussion. I actually think Adam might be a better bassist than guitarist. He was totally getting into it, bouncing around, sticking his tongue out, having a blast. Bridget was Bridget, nip slips abound.

Overall, it was a really entertaining show and it was nice to see Adam having a good time. Glad I checked it out.

[DandyFop]

Really glad I went to this...was such a fun, ridiculous show. As a comedian myself it was really fun to see a chick who was just so utterly fearless. Loved all of it, and yeah it was so fun to see adam having a blast. Did make my heart twinge a bit to think I'd never see the Bboys again, but I digress, it was a fun night that I would recommend to anyone who doesn't have a stick up their ass.

[ClarenceAlabama]

It's been a while since I've called someone a dumbass on here...

Thank you! :D

But, seriously, that ad shouldn't have said it was an Adrock solo date when it's not. The show is actually a Bridget Everette and the Tender Moments show featuring Adrock on bass. Why cause confusion? If you're not a Bridget Everette fan, you're going to be disappointed. I saw a version of Sabotage they did at one of these shows on Youtube, and it sucked!

I personally would love to see Adrock put together a band and do some punk rock shows. I know it will probably never happen, but a fan can wish.

[YoungRemy]

solo date=one night only. not a solo act.

it was indeed an evening with Adam Horovitz and friends, as advertised.

I'm sorry you and others were confused.

it was a really fun evening. Adam H introduced a couple of comedians in his daytime attire, then Neal Hamburger introduced the main act and AH came out suited up as a Tender Moment along with Alfredo and others.

yeah the band was pretty tight.

some fun crowd interactions and a few actual tender moments in the act made for a great night out. Bridget is a force to be reckoned with, but after the show she was really friendly and easy going. even with a name like adrock attached, she thanked the crowd for coming out and waiting in the rain after show was over.

it had a comedy cabaret feel. nothing to get all serious about. just good fun.

[kll]

Aside from nonchalantly saying to bf, "oh, Horovitz is walking in the door" at the sushi place we were eating, as if it were an everyday occurence, and making eye contact with him, then having him walk by us after his dinner - one of the best moments was watching dandyfop struggle to not look up the skirt og Bridgett as she walked on the armrests of your seat. We tried to find you after, but didn't have any luck. We were 2nd row, A, so we were "safe" from the antics. What an adventure!

[Documad]

Glad everyone had a good time.

Ahahahah!! I wish I had seen you, I didn't look at the board before so I didn't know you were there. That was ridiculous. I almost went to that sushi place, dammit!

[YoungRemy]

last night's performance was in a small restaurant/club in this strip mall in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood...

so Bridget spotted a couple a guys in Yankees hats and they became her marks for the whole night. at one point she said "I bet you're here to see adrock but have you ever been with a big girl before?"

then she proceeded to motorboat one of them and they, along with their ladies, were having a great time.

then out of nowhere she pulls Flea up on the stage. Adrock hands him his bass and he strips down to a matching underwear outfit and starts playing a walking bass line to a sultry vocal blues song by Everett.

[M|X|Y]

of course it was a good time (y) glad you did had one

no you didn't...

you must be referring to Neal Medlyn's version from Our Hit Parade

and it sucked!

way to throw Adam and Cey Adams under the bus for having a good time and entertaining a crowd!

yeah i noticed that too!!

[YoungRemy]

did anyone catch last night's show?

Fredo guest performed again on percussion.

spotted in the crowd were Money Mark, Cey Adams, Jerome Crooks, Arthur Africano, Sunny Bak, and Ian C Rogers.

Fred Armisen did a duet with Bridget- Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka.

i saw a guy with a MCA Day Patch on his tracksuit.

Bridget sat on his face.

other non Beastie people were there too acting all important and needed to be seen, like Mindy Kaling and Jonah Hill.

[JoLovesMCA]

Glad you got to go! I saw fans sharing their photos with Adrock and Cey Adams. That's awesome that Fredo was there and nice to see some of the Beastie band coming together to do little shows together.
