Take some time out of your day and enjoy footage of the Beastie Boys In-Store from 1994, an important piece of Slam City Skates and Rough trade history…
Sharing a store space for many years with Rough Trade was an experience. Our clientele was an eclectic one. Alongside events we would host there were also hundreds of in store gigs held in the basement over the years. None of these I think has been more talked about or revered than the Beastie Boys show which happened on June 12th 1994. The Beastie Boys were on the road promoting their new album Ill Communication which had just come out. This Rough Trade in store kicked off a European tour which ended in their Glastonbury performance later that month. Just recently, footage surfaced of this legendary show and we are glad to be able to share it with you. Take a trip back in time…
