Adrock and Kathleen Hanna were at MoMA
May 9th, 2011 by chocko
Last Thursday, Adrock of The Beastie Boys rocked the turntables at MoMA in conjunction with the exhibition there called Looking At Music 3.0 which focuses on the underground music scene during the 80’s and 90’s. Adrock was all smiles as he provided the music in the outdoor sculpture garden. He covered pretty much every genre of music you can think of but one of my favorite moments in the set is when he dropped a little Misfits on the unsuspecting museum crowd. Where Eagles Dare…got my attention and head bobbing to the punk rock beat. His wife, Kathleen Hanna of the legendary riot grrrl band Bikini Kill and Le Tigre was also on hand to sign posters she designed for the museum exhibit. She was so nice and talked to all her fans that came to see her. She signed some Bikini Kill CDs for me and we briefly talked about her band, The Julie Ruin which also features another original Bikini Kill member, Kathi Wilcox. She has been recording recently and it looks like she’s totally down to tour again when the album is done. Cey Adams, the founding creative director at Def Jam was also in the house signing a poster he designed. MoMA is located at 11 W. 53rd St. in New York City and the exhibition Looking At Music 3.0 will run until the end of May.
