Live at the Independent, San Francisco. “San Francisco smells good tonight! I like that incense y'all burnin’! Ride on!” Fishbone may have formed in the ghettos of South Central L.A back in the late '70s, but damn, that heavy duty ska-funk juggernaut was still running red hot in 2012 (and continues to this day!). If anything, sax-touting, hat-loving vocalist Angelo Moore was groovin' harder than ever, while the grinding rhythms of slap-bass master Norwood Fisher were being pumped out with enough frantic energy to make even the most hardcore punk-rockers sound more like a show band. Trailblazing their way through funk, hard-rock, punk ska and soul, and heroes to everyone from Primus and Jane's Addiction to Gwen Stefani, the seven-piece are often imitated but never duplicated. These cool cats know how to bring it, and they sure brought 'it' when we filmed them in 2012 at The Independent in San Francisco.
