L.A.‘s ska/punk/funk/ genre-benders, Fishbone have emerged out of a wilderness period of sorts and are the subject of new documentary called, “Everyday Sunshine”. While sometimes erratic on record, the band have always been a firestorm in a live setting.
Here for your perusal are some intriguing moments, preserved on video, from their classic 80’s work.
