I will definitely be at the Seattle show and most likely the Portland gig as well!!!
You want to go to these shows!!!
I am stoked!!!
download in the tent was highlight of the weekend, apart from tool.
saw them at bar academy london last nov. was great gig, they have so much energy and their tunes are fantastic,. angelo liked the look of my friend, sucked her face off in teh middle of the show and made the band play her happy birthday..the aftershow was fun too, though we declined the hotel invite...
fishbone rule!!!
id so go and see them again!
Bump this shit!!!
Well, it is not really surprising being the lack of exposure they get, but I just feel as though you all are missing out. I know I was missing out until about 8 yeas ago when I first witnessed the greatness that is a Fishbone show.
...in the hopes of finding more closet Fishbone fans.
Eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken
Than any man ever seen
Orlando is seeing some seriously good groups come by this year alone.
Check out this week alone:
Sun: Decemberists
Mon: TV on the Radio; also Blood Brothers
Tues: Sebadoh
Thur: Flaming Lips
It will be a good week. Plus upcoming, we get Les Claypool; George Clinton and P-Funk; Fishbone; Mastodon; BRMC. Lots of great shows so far.
Come on people....buy these tickets. Fishbone is SICK in concert!!!
I am hella stoked for these shows!!!
I will be at Portland and Seattle!!!
I have to say that I just acquired the soundboard recording bootleg of the very first Fishbone show that I ever went to way back on 4/8/2000 at the old Fenix in Seattle. This show was so fucking bad ass for a few different reasons. First off, my buddy and I weren’t even there to see the headliners, Fishbone. My buddy was only going to catch one of the opening bands, Slightly Stoopid. I was only going ‘cause he was going. So there, neither of us was going for Fishbone. We had only maybe “heard of” Fishbone but certainly knew none of their music. Hell, we almost didn’t even stay for them…what idiots we would have been. We did stay and Fishbone proceeded to KICK OUR ASSES!! They were non-stop for well over 2 hours.
Back then the Fenix Underground was a 2 part joint. There was the upstairs were we were for Fishbone, and there was the downstairs, or the “Underground” part. And this night we were there was to be the very last night ever that they were going to keep the upstairs portion open for business. After this night, they would only be open for business in the Underground. So Fishbone was there (where they had apparently played many times in the past) to “tear that mother fucker down!!!!” They play ‘til well after 2 in the morning, taking the venue out in style with all the waitresses dancing on top of the bar, all taking shots. During Swim, there finale song, Angelo was crowd surfing all the way to the bar swigging shots with the bar staff. The band was simply on FIRE!!!!
When we were walking out of there at about 2:20 in the morning, when the band finally quit playing, we were absolutely in fucking AWE!! Neither of us had ever had an experience quite like that. Such a small intimate venue, so much energy, and so blind-sided by the newly found greatness that is Fishbone. We couldn’t stop going on and on about the show on the drive back to Tacoma. Without discussing it, both of us hit the record store up the next day and bought as many Fishbone records as we could find. Then we copied each other’s finds that we didn’t duplicate to make sure we both had the same catalog.
Since then we have seen them about 4 or 5 other times and they never disappoint!! This time, we are going to hit up two shows in two days, one in Portland and one in Seattle. We’re doing it full ass, baby! Pearl Jam style, if you will. Also, the “old” Fenix, as I referred to it earlier is in reference to the fact that the building is now completely gone…both upstairs and the underground part too. We had an earthquake less than a year after that show and that was the end of that really old industrial building. The Fenix has since reopened in Pioneer Square and they are full ass again with a balcony, the main section where the stage is, and an underground.
Holy SHIT!!!! These were some of the BEST shows I have seen in a long time!!! FISHBONE is fucking on FIRE!!!!
I saw them Friday night in Portland, then Saturday at noon in Portland at a record store for a free acoustic set, and then back home in Seattle last night and they were all STELLAR shows!!!!
Fishbone rocks so hard it is insane!!! So much crowd surfing and moshing it was out of controll!!! They bring IT 210% every time they are on stage!!!
Hail, Hail FISHBONE!!!!!
Thanks for the great 3 shows!!! I hope they last until next time!!!!
The Orlando HOB show was fan-fucking-tastic. Finally great to see my first Fishbone show. It was outstanding to say the least. They ripped through so much of their catalog, it was unreal. They were really pumped and jazzed and it showed. The crowd was even pretty supportive for an Orlando crowd. People were skanking, the band was crowd surfing (multiple times), the music was scorching and the horns were wailing. A great show at the HOB. They even played a killer cover of Date Rape by Sublime. Just an all around fun and enjoyable show. Everyone should've seen them on tour. If you missed 'em, I feel for you b/c you missed a great show.
saw them about 4 yrs ago maybe at the club where i was working at the time...placed was packed, sweaty and there was an incredible amount of energy for the whole show.
great guys with great stories. i sold them some pot, smoked it with them, and a bunch of our staff sat around with them after the show...them sharing stories and complaining about how we roll joints here on the east coast. they complained less the more we smoked and the more we drank.
fishbone!
