Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin Cover Beastie Boys on Night One of "The Hanukkah Sessions"

Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) and Greg Kurstin (record producer) have decided that they will be releasing eight cover songs, one for each day of Hanukkah (which began this evening). Each cover will be exclusively by an artist of Jewish descent, and they kicked things off tonight with a cover of the Beastie Boys’ classic “Sabotage”. The video description reads:

“As the only Rock and Roll Hall Of Famers with a lyric about kugel, we thought it would be a shanda to not kick off this party with New York’s (and Abraham’s) finest…known by some as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abedenego, known by others as Ad-Rock, Mike D, and MCA…known by their Imas and Abbas as Adam Horovitz, Mike Diamond and Adam Yauch… Beastie Boys!”

Foo Fighters are currently gearing up to release their tenth studio album, Medicine At Midnight, on February 5th, with Kurstin acting as producer.

You can stream the first video from “The Hanukkah Sessions” below.
