The Beastie Boys rocked last night’s Grammys with a commercial alerting viewers of the upcoming Spike Jonze–directed documentary, Beastie Boys Story, set to debut on Apple+ April 24. A special cut of the film is slated to hit select IMAX screens for a limited engagement starting April 3.

Today, the doc got its first teaser trailer. Watch that below.

Beastie Boys Story features surviving band members Adam Horowitz and Mike Diamond talking about the group’s decades-long friendship and career. Longtime Beastie collaborator Jonze is also releasing a Beastie Boys book—a collection of photographs from their career over the years, to be precise—that’ll be out March 17 via Rizzoli.
