"EVERYDAY SUNSHINE: THE STORY OF FISHBONE" - documentary trailer

EVERYDAY SUNSHINE is a documentary about the band Fishbone, musical pioneers who have been rocking on the margins of pop culture for the past 25 years. From the streets of South-Central Los Angeles and the competitive Hollywood music scene of the 1980's, the band rose to prominence, only to fall apart when on the verge of "making it."

Laurence Fishburne narrates EVERYDAY SUNSHINE, an entertaining cinematic journey into the personal lives of this unique Black rock band, an untold story of fiercely individual artists in their quest to reclaim their musical legacy while debunking the myths of young Black men from urban America. Highlighting the parallel journeys of a band and their city, EVERYDAY SUNSHINE explores the personal and cultural forces that gave rise to California's legendary Black punk sons that continue to defy categories and expectations.

At the heart of the film's story is lead singer Angelo Moore and bassist Norwood Fisher who show how they keep the band rolling, out of pride, desperation and love for their art. To overcome money woes, family strife, and the strain of being aging Punk rockers on the road, Norwood and Angelo are challenged to re-invent themselves in the face of dysfunction and ghosts from a painful past.

Fishbone should've been as big as No Doubt after dropping that landmark 'Truth and Soul' album almost 25 years ago, but at the same time I'm glad they stuck to what made them so original and VERY influential even to this day. To Norwood and Angelo (if they wind up reading this), thanks for soldiering on when most bands would've wrapped it up after all the stuff you guys went through. To those in the know like myself, you guys clearly made it when you finally went international on tour.

ONE OF THE MOST FKN CRIMINALLY UNDERFKNRATED BANDS OF ALL TIME. Damn near cried when I saw the autograph signing scene.

[RockSchooled]

Outstanding documentary. I remember when I was working at a drum shop in the nineties and every musician there started talking about Fishbone. That was in Australia! They had an extremely widespread influence and impact.

[Steven Wade]

Watched it yesterday. Loved it. Living so far away, it was good to finally understand what happened back in the 1990s. Great work, Fishbone soldiers.

[haero dinamiko]

I didn't have a clue. Chapeau to fishbone!

Caught this documentary a while back by accident and I'm so happy that I did.
