Why aren't you listening to Fishbone right now?

nice!!! I used to watch SNL reruns all the time as a teenager and this was the one time the musical guest made me go "what the fuck was that". "Sunless Saturday" was even crazier than that!!

They were fantast9c love at the turn of the 90s. Used to do 2 hour + shows that remained energetic throughout.
Fantastic musicians.
I remember following Rollins Band a the same time and seeing their tour itineraries where Fishbone had a printed one complete with setlists before the show and managed to make the versions differ heavily between shows whereas Rollins had a handwritten one but at least appeared to say exactly the same thing at exactly the same point each night. Not sure how much versions of songs varied night to night but it was pretty intense so worth seeing.

Haven't checked them out much since so not sure if lineup has changed massively. I think the last time I was really hearing about them the guitarist had joined a christian cult or had a christian cult he had been involved with interfering with him. That and the keyboard player having co written a song Jeff Buckley did which sounded extremely personal to him and his relationship with his dad.

fantastic live that is

current lineup is siqqq! chris dowd back in the band and it really adds so much to have the old vocal blend from the records.

chris and jeff buckley were very close

real bummer they never did a live album in the 90s

there's tons of great boots tho! the fishbone tape trading community is strong. also lots of great full shows on yt.

I'm kinda shocked at how much I like these new songs. Maybe nostalgia is overpowering my taste, or they really are that good.

My guess is the latter! It's pretty close to the classic lineup, though alas, it looks like it's not Fish on drums.

All we have is now is great too
