From the podcast

MCAmy (AKA Ms Sumpta if ya nasty) joined me for a second time (I LOST THE FIRST ONE. AN MBSing FIRST. SHE TALKED ABOUT THE WHITE SOX AND IT WAS A GREAT EP, TOO) to talk her love of everyone's favorite hip hop group featuring three Jewish dudes from NYC. After laying down the truth on how the Boys' gear change around '94 to clean up their lyrics turned her into a feminist, Amy breaks down the origins of her all-female Beastie Boys tribute band, She's Crafty. Yeah. You read that right, and it's the best. They have performed all over Chicago and a bit beyond, and they have hosted MCA Day celebrations for the past couple years to honor the memory of Adam "MCA" Yauch, who passed away in 2012 due to cancer. All the acts are Beastie related, and all of the ticket sales go to two different cancer charities. You should go after you listen to this 2 legit ep.

Tickets to MCA Day 2015 - August 15th at Lincoln Hall
