Fishbone

I've seen...

After Steely Dan, Fishbone is the band that I've seen the most.

I've seen Steely Dan 11 times.

I've seen Fishbone like eight or nine times.

So they're like...

But I, all

I don't know.

The Dan just does something to me psychologically and emotionally.

Super cute.

I got to tell you, so I love ska music, and my favorite band is Fishbone.

And when my son was old enough to come to a show with me to see them at the Cleveland Agora, it got switched for a terrible band called Slightly Stupid.

And so my son...

So now my son has to tell people his first band that he ever saw in concert was Slightly Stupid instead of the Immortal Fishbone, which is a very...

But the tickets were free, so that's like the small silver lining of the whole experience, but...

And this is during the age of the Internet.

Thank you, Jay.

Then from Jimi Hendrix, then it went to Bad Brains.

Then it went from Bad Brains then, you know, Fishbone because they had a certain style.

Correct.

Then I can say, um- Funkadelic.

so it

was just yeah and then i definitely you know i got into the california california ska like a Fishbone, you know, Real Big Fish, just all the best bands.

Skank

and

Yeah, yeah.

And have, have you heard of a band called Fishbone?

Yes.

Yes.

Right.

Fishbone, again, another LA band that I loved, played The Astoria that night.

Angelo, third song went, stripped stark bollock naked.

[laughs]

Uh, because we felt like, you know, there was already Living Color out at that moment.

I think Fishbone was out.

It was like, okay, we can actually be who we wanna be, and there i- there is a lane.

But what we didn't understand is that the, the industry's like, "But we already have a Black rock band." [laughs] You know? That's how the industry looked at it.

are excellent.

It is a direct plea from Jeff to his friend Chris Dowd from the band Fishbone to not leave his pregnant girlfriend, and to be there for his unborn baby.

Childhood abandonment obviously carries a ton of baggage, but it is an issue especially close to Jeff Buckley, as he was abandoned by his father, folk musician Tim Buckley, while his mother was still pregnant with him.

He only met his father once, as an eight-year-old.

All righty.

A couple of weeks ago, we had the pleasure of seeing Fishbone live in Australia.

They have just teamed up with the Barstool Preachers from Brighton in England.

Barstool Preachers have been putting out more and more tracks recently.

All righty.

However, the last couple of tracks are very, very scary indeed.

And when you team up with Fishbone, it's going to get scar-like, isn't it? And they have.

The new track is called Sick World.

Oh, that's Red Hot Chili Peppers, early records.

And Fishbone, they put Fishbone

on

there.

Fishbone, okay.

Okay, great, that's fantastic.

I know what that is.
