Beastie Boys Other Name?

I'm watching some concert video on VH1 and it reminded me. In 1995 or 1996 I saw them in concert in Tahoe, but they were all hush hush and playing under an assumed name for some reason. I think it was an AIDS benefit snowboard contest/music festival. Someone got the inside scoop somehow so we went and checked it out. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Did my mind make this up somehow?

ed,

It's pretty common for a bunch of bands to do preview/warm-up shows like this. I've seen the Beastie Boys and Green Day in the Bay Area playing at small venues with fake names.

This used to be cool, now is pretty lame with the Internet.

adam yauch (mca) goes by pseudonym of nathaniel hornblower fwiw, though i doubt that is what you are looking for. he directed some of their videos.

I guess I suck at google, found it though. Quazar, what a gay name.
