The Beastie Boys are back in the studio making their seventh album, which Mike D promises to disappoint. In The Age Magazine, Mike says:

“It is actually really different … (fans) can expect to be disappointed, they can expect to be angry at us.”

Mike D and the fellas will be in Australia for the Good Vibrations Festival, which begins in Melbourne on February 10, before heading to the Gold Coast, Sydney and ending in Perth on February 18. It will showcase Jurassic 5, Timo Maas, Cassius, Nightmares on Wax, Rahzel from the Roots, and others.

Go check them out and get ready to get angry if you’re in the land of Oz.

How’s that Free Tibet thing going?
