\n\tNearly 20 years after the last Beastie Boys concert, the group\u2019s Mike D<\/a> is mounting his first solo tour this summer backed by a group called 5D, which includes his sons Skyler and Davis Diamond, as well as Eddie Ruscha, Will Graefe, and Milo Ruscha. The five-gig run, all scattershot across the eastern U.S., coincides with the Aug. 28 release of his first solo album, Thank You<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe tour kicks off Aug. 30 in Boston and includes dates in D.C.; Asheville, North Carolina; Atlanta; and one of New York City\u2019s boroughs. Tickets go on sale to general public at 10 a.m. ET on Friday, with presales beginning Thursday. Ticketing info is on the Mike D 5D website<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tThank You <\/em>features 10 songs, including \u201cWhat We Got,\u201d<\/a> a heavy psychedelic rocker, pierced by Mike D\u2019s inimitable rapping. Other tunes include the jazzy, more laidback \u201cSwitch Up\u201d<\/a> and \u201cTrue Colors,\u201d<\/a> a trippy m\u00e9lange of breakbeats, analog synths, and ethereal vocals that change direction toward the end.<\/p>\n
