Тексты песен Fishbone
Информация о артисте
Каких только изощренных определений не придумывали музыкальные обозреватели, пытаясь пояснить читателям своих изданий что такое калифорнийская группа FISHBONE и с чем этот рыбный скелетик едят. Впрочем, обозначить стиль FISHBONE одним-двумя словами действительно не так-то просто - что могут играть музыканты, называющие своими любимейшими исполнителями BAD BRAINS, SEX PISTOLS и Дюка Эллингтона (Duke Ellington) одновременно! Впрочем, один только состав группы в плане раскладки по инструментам говорит сам за себя: вокалист и саксофонист Анжело Мур (Angelo Moore), гитарист и вокалист Кендалл Джонс (Kendall Jones), вокалист Вальтер Эй Кибби-второй (Walter A.Kibby), басист и вокалист Джон Норвуд Фишер (John Norwood Fisher), тромбонист и клавишник Крис Даун по прозвищу "Maverick Meat" (Chris Down), гитарист Чарли Даун (Charlie Down) и, наконец, барабанщик и перкуссионист Филлип Фишер или просто "Рыба" (Philip "Fish" Fisher). Кстати, все семеро - бывшие одноклассники, которые еще будучи 15-летними школьниками основали свою группу, попытавшись соединить воедино такие разные жанры как фанк, джаз, ска, хард-рок и еще Бог знает что.
Было это в 1980 году, а в 85-м, подписав контракт с компанией Columbia, FISHBONE выпустили свой первый альбом. Было б странно, если бы столь эклектичную по стилю команду не заметили - "Fishbone" хотя и не попали ни в один хит-парад, но рецензии на пластинку в большинстве своем были положительными, а сравнения FISHBONE с LIVING COLOUR или RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS воспринимались скорее как комплимент, нежели обвинение. Следующие пара альбомов, кстати, выпущенные фирмой
Epic - "In Your Face" и "Truth & Soul" - также получили неплохие оценки в прессе, но не принесли группе особого успеха. И лишь с четвертым диском, вышедшим летом 91-го и снова на Columbia, "The Reality Of My Surroundings", FISHBONE сделали свой первый серьезный прорыв. Альбом, кстати, записанный с новым гитаристом Джоном Бигэмом (John Bigham), заменившим Дауна, попал в национальные чарты как Америки - 49-е место, так и Европы - 75-е. Однако закрепить успех не удалось - следующий CD FISHBONE "Give A Monkey A Brain & He'll Swear He's The Centre Of The Universe" (незадолго до начала работы над диском от коллектива откололся Кендалл, променявший музыку на религию) получился, пожалуй, самым неудачным во всей дискографии группы. Равно как и все последующие диски FISHBONE он не пользовался массовым успехом, но продавался все равно неплохо. Read more on Last.fm.

Celebrating 25 groundbreaking years, FISHBONE has been trailblazing their way through the history of American Ska, Funk, Punk, Rock Fusion and (so-called) Black Rock since starting their professional career in Los Angeles' burgeoning, Alternative Rock music scene of the mid-1980s. Their sound has often been imitated, but never duplicated.
They have toured worldwide with such bands as the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Roots, Les Claypool/Primus, Fela Kuti, George Clinton, The Dead Kennedys and many more. Angelo Moore’s ability to combine thought-provoking, humorous social commentary with FISHBONE’s frenzied, up-tempo music and frantic, euphorically entertaining stage show has cultivated their undisputed reputation as
one of the best live acts in music history.
Now reaching beyond their 25th year of composing, creating, recording, releasing and performing original music together, mass critical appeal appears to be returning to the band, fueled by their
critically acclaimed full-length feature documentary; Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone. Narrated by Laurence Fishburne, the film earned LA Weekly’s Critic’s Choice Award at the Los Angeles Film Fest in 2010, has been called “effortlessly Entertaining” (Variety), “Brilliant and Groundbreaking” (Pop Matters), and hailed as “more than a documentary about rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a documentary about the
American spirit and one that shows the life of one of its most influential creative forces.” (Encore Magazine)
The documentary features celebrity testimonials from an A-list cast of rock icons such as Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers), who calls the band “an important musical institution” and “the band that gave us the
inspiration to be a band” by Gwen Stefani (No Doubt). The film also includes similar admiration from the likes of Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addition), Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains) Rob Trujillo (Metallica), Questlove (The Roots), Chuck D (Public Enemy), Tim Robbins (Grammy Winning Actor) and many more. The film not only highlights the band's substantial legacy in contemporary music of all forms, but also the struggles, adversity, and inner turmoil that has surrounded the band's career. Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone has already premiered in over 60+ theaters across the country, and many of the dates have sold out. The documentary aired on Public Television’s AfroPop Series as well as Encore early 2012, and still continues on air. The DVD is currently available for purchase nationwide at all major retailers, and on NetFlix.
To date, FISHBONE still continues to tour all over the world, turning heads at some of the most noteworthy festivals around the globe such as Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport, CT (2013), Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco, CA (2013), Ottawa Blues Fest (2012), Montreal Jazz Festival (2012), DeLuna Fest in Pensacola, FL (2012), Bumbershoot in Seattle, WA (2012), Riot Fest in Chicago, IL (2012), Voodoo Festival in New Orleans, LA (2011), Fuji Rock Festival in Tokyo, Japan (2010), Wakarusa in Ozark, AK (2010), Sunset Junction in Los Angeles, CA (2010) and more. In 2012, The band had the opportunity to perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Angelo Moore sat in with The Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They also performed three outstanding shows with Primus, and have been recently featured in a variety of national press recently including New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, MTV Hive, Spin Magazine, E! Entertainment, Rotten Tomatoes and more.
In addition, FISHBONE completed a national U.S. tour with Slightly Stoopid and Dumpstaphunk; a sold-out SXSW showcase with Wu-Tang Clan and Mobb Deep; an Australian tour featuring performances with
Trombone Shorty and George Clinton, highlighted by a performance at Byron Bay Blues Festival in 2011.
The band released a single “Whipper Snapper” in March 2013, on a 7-inch split record with Slightly Stoopid. Their latest Crazy Glue (DC-Jam Records) released October 11, 2011 and is currently available
online everywhere and select retail stores nationwide. The band has plans to release a new EP in 2014.
The current member line up includes original members Angelo Moore aka Dr. Madd Vibe (vocals/sax/theramin), Norwood Fisher (bass/vocals), Dirty Walt (trumpet, vocals), as well as Rocky George (guitar), Paul Hampton (keyboards/vocals), John Steward (drums), and Jay Armant (trombone, vocals).
