Adam Youch Fans: Saturday is MCA Day in Brooklyn
Party for Beastie Boys co-founder in Gowanus
Two years after his death, fans of Beastie Boys co-founder Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch will be paying tribute to his artistic legacy and celebrating his life on Saturday with a party in Gowanus.
“Grab your favorite Beastie shirt, lace up the shelltoes, head to Littlefield and get ready to spread some Gratitude,” organizers say. The party will feature break-dancers, art exhibits and live musical performances from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Littlefield Performance and Art space.
Yauch — a beloved Brooklyn born and bred rapper, musician, film director, Buddist, snowboarder and human rights activist who died on May 4, 2012 — continues to inspire musicians and artists.
Last year on the anniversary, Palmetto Playground in Brooklyn Heights, Yauch’s neighborhood, was renamed in his honor.
