The Beastie Boys have announced their “Get Out and Vote” tour. In an e-mail blast this morning, the activist rappers said,”This election is too important to stay at home. We hope that you can come out, have a nice night, dance, sing, get your freak on, and then wake up the next morning and get everyone that you possibly can to get out and vote.” The group added, “We are very excited about Obama. Hope you all feel the same.” So far, only the first three dates of the tour have been announced, and the band promises to bring special guests like Sheryl Crow, Jack Johnson, Tenacious D and Santogold with them to various shows. Stay tuned to their official site for more tour dates and ticket information.
