Celebrate Fishbone! Anniversary Video: 25 Years and Still Redhot!

From the shifting faultlines of Hollywood fantasies and the economic and racial tensions of Reagan's America, Fishbone rose to become one of the most original bands of the last 25 years. With a blistering combination of punk and funk they demolished the walls of genre and challenged the racial stereotypes and political order of the music industry and the nation.

In celebration of the band's 25th anniversary the band will soon be appearing in a new documentary, EVERYDAY SUNSHINE: THE STORY OF FISHBONE. The iconic Laurence Fishburne narrates the film and tells it like it is. A story about music, history, fear, courage and funking on the one.

The most underrated band in history.

This doco is long overdue but in many ways is right on time! I can't wait to see it but unfortunately I'll have to wait until the DVD is released as I doubt it will screen here in Australia. From the first time I heard Fishbone in 1991 as a 16 year old, my take on music was forever altered. I have loved many bands since but none with the passion of Fishbone. None have held their longevity like Fishbone. Fishbone were ahead of their time and most of their material is timeless.

I breathe Fishbone since 1987...Wouldn't be surprised after I die and have donated my body for medical research, the medical students will find a fishbone somewherer behind my spleen...

Aw ... I was gonna ask you to do a graphic novel on the band's story. Whatever. Hope to see you again soon. Keep the face

for sure is red hot! Who doubted it?

Fishbone are one of the only great bands to genuinely master all the different musical styles and genres they played. When they played metal, you were convinced they were a metal band. When they played funk, you were convinced they were a funk band. When they played punk, you were convinced they were a punk band. Ska, rock.. you name it, they mastered it. They had everything you would ever want in a live show: explosive energy, tight musicianship, the look, the humor, the social commentary.

What sucks is that their best years are well after they peaked on the charts back in the '80s, and I won't be surprised at all if their best stuff is yet to come.

My favorite band. Bar none.

killer. as an "underground" band, i had no idea they touched so many. ironic that they're bigger in Europe....  i once heard that they play about nine months out of the year and are always trying to get in the studio. i'm'a try and join my local Familyhood when they hit SF in a few...!
