Beastie Boys have released the details of their 8th studio album Hot Sauce Commitee Part 1. This is their first vocal album in 5 years after releasing the funky instrumental album The Mix Up in 2007. It is planned for release on September 15th 2009(Now T.B.A.) with Hot Sauce Commitee Part 2 also on the way according to Mike D:

"Pt. 2 is pretty much done. Basically we were making ...Pt 1, had too many songs, so we recorded some more songs. Which sounds bizarre but it actually worked out, because it made it clear to us which songs were going to be on ...Pt 1. Then we had this whole other album of songs: ...Pt 2. ...Pt 1’s going to be your regular CD in the stores and to download, but ...Pt 2 is going to be released in...we’re still figuring it out, but a different way. More of a 2009 style. You could get in the shower one day and, boom, all of a sudden you’re showered with MP3s. Or we might send people a seven-inch every few weeks, so you have a whole box set".

The first taste of the album "Lee Majors Come Again" is the upcoming first single from the album and is a return to their earlier raw punk sound although it may be just a demo version. You can check out the audio below.

Adam Yauch (MCA) has just announced that he has been diagnosed with cancer and the new album will now be postponed. The good news is that surgery should be able to remove the cancer growth found in his glands without damaging his vocal chords. See the You Tube clip below to hear it from MCA himself.
